[0002] tomato( Solanum lycopersicum Tomato, also known as foreign persimmon or tomato, is an annual herbaceous plant belonging to the genus *Solanum* of the Solanaceae family. It is rich in vitamins and lycopene, and has antioxidant properties. It is widely cultivated and is one of the major economic vegetable crops in my country and even the world. my country's tomato industry has developed rapidly. In recent years, with the progress of agricultural technology and the improvement of planting techniques, gray mold disease has seriously affected crop health and yield in the process of tomato cultivation.
[0003] Gray mold is a disease caused by the necrotrophic form of *Botrytis cinerea* (… Botrytis cinerea This fungal disease, which causes widespread damage, infects different parts of tomatoes, including leaves, stems, flowers, and fruits. It generates a large number of gray mycelia and spores, spreads very quickly, and multiplies rapidly under humid conditions, causing serious economic losses to the tomato industry.
[0004] To enhance economic value, breeding tomato varieties with high resistance to gray mold is crucial for cultivation. Currently, seedling resistance is typically determined by observing phenotypic changes after gray mold infection during plant growth. However, this method is wasteful of resources and manpower in the early stages. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a method that can rapidly identify tomato resistance to gray mold during the seedling stage. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a CAPS molecular marker related to resistance to tomato gray mold, and the acquisition of this CAPS molecular marker is based on Adi3 The result indicates that there are differences in single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the coding regions of genes in different resistant materials.

The PCR amplification product in S2 was digested with Eco0109I and then electrophoresed to obtain the digested product. S4. If the enzyme digestion product shows three electrophoretic bands, it is an resistant material; if the enzyme digestion product shows only one electrophoretic band, it is a susceptible material.
[0012] In some specific embodiments, preferably, the PCR amplification reaction system in S2 is: 25µL KOD, 1.5µL each of forward and reverse primers with a concentration of 10nm / L, 1µL sample cDNA, and 21µL ddH2O.
[0013] The PCR reaction program was as follows: 94℃ for 2 min, 98℃ for 10 s, 56℃ for 10 s, 68℃ for 1 min, for a total of 45 cycles, followed by 68℃ for 5 min and 4℃ for 10 min.

[0019] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can more clearly understand the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the technical means used in the following embodiments are all conventional means well known to those skilled in the art, and all reagents and consumables are commercially available products.
[0020] Example 1 This embodiment provides the development of CAPS molecular markers for identifying resistance to tomato gray mold and the acquisition of primers. The specific steps are as follows: In the preliminary stage, more than 300 tomato samples were repeatedly inoculated with Botrytis cinerea, and the inoculation results were correlated with whole-genome sequencing results. It was found that... Adi3 The gene (nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.2) exhibits differences in single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the coding region of different resistant and susceptible materials. Furthermore, resistant varieties possess a specific restriction enzyme site. Based on this, a corresponding CAPS marker was developed, which contains an Eco0109I restriction enzyme recognition site (see...). Figure 1 It has the potential to distinguish between disease-resistant and disease-susceptible varieties.
[0021]
[0022] Based on this, specific amplification primers were designed within a 1500bp range upstream and downstream of this SNP. Genomic DNA was extracted from each resistant and susceptible material and then amplified by PCR. Sequencing was performed on the amplification products of resistant materials TS107, TS57, TS29, TS286 (TGRC, U.S. Tomato Genetic Resource Center) and susceptible materials TS100, TS98, TS112, TS9 (TGRC, U.S. Tomato Genetic Resource Center) to verify the markers and design primers.
[0023] 1.1 Genomic DNA Extraction from Anti-Sensitive Materials Weigh 0.2 g of fresh tomato leaves (resistance material) into a 2 mL nuclease-free centrifuge tube, flash-freeze in liquid nitrogen, and grind into powder using a tissue homogenizer. Add 800 µL of preheated CTAB to the tube, incubate at 65°C for 1-2 hours, inverting the tube every 10 minutes. After cooling to room temperature, add 800 µL of chloroform-isoamyl alcohol (24V:1V), gently invert 100 times to mix, let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes, and centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 10 minutes. Transfer approximately 500 µL of the supernatant to a new tube, add an equal volume of pre-cooled isopropanol, mix gently, let stand at 4°C for at least 30 minutes, centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 10 minutes, and discard the supernatant. Add 1 mL of 75% ethanol to wash the precipitate by pipetting, centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 5 minutes, discard the supernatant, and wash twice. After aspirating 20µL of the solution with a pipette and drying it in a fume hood, dissolve the DNA precipitate with 100µL of ddH2O. Once the DNA precipitate passes the test using an ultra-micro UV-Vis spectrophotometer, store it at -20℃ for later use.
[0024] 1.2 PCR amplification The designed primers were used to amplify the genomic DNA of the above-mentioned tomato samples. The PCR amplification reaction system was as follows: KOD 25µL, forward and reverse primers (10nm / L) 1.5µL each, sample cDNA 1µL, and ddH2O 21µL.
[0025] The reaction program was as follows: 94℃ for 2 min, 98℃ for 10 s, 56℃ for 10 s, 68℃ for 1 min, for a total of 45 cycles, 68℃ for 5 min, and 4℃ for 10 min.
[0026] The specific amplification primers are as follows: Adi3 (CAPS-684bp)-FW:ATGCTTGGTGTAGTGTAC; Adi3 (CAPS-684bp)-RV:TGGTGTACTGCAACGTAT.
[0027] 1.3 Sequencing and enzyme digestion identification Sequence alignment analysis of the PCR amplification products revealed that the TS107, TS57, TS29, and TS286 sequences of the resistant material were identical, as were the TS100, TS98, TS112, and TS9 sequences of the susceptible material. However, a single base difference existed between the sequences of the two types of materials. Based on this, it was determined that the resistant materials TS107, TS57, TS29, and TS286 and the susceptible materials TS100, TS98, TS112, and TS9 share the same SNP difference in the Adi3 gene. The results are shown below. Figure 2 .
[0028] The PCR amplification products described above were cleaved using the Eco0109I restriction endonuclease (see [link to article]). Figure 3 , 4 Electrophoresis results showed that the PCR products of resistant varieties (TS107, TS57, TS29, TS286) exhibited three bands after enzyme digestion, indicating the presence of the EcoO1O9I restriction site; while the PCR products of susceptible varieties (TS100, TS98, TS112, TS9) were not cleaved, showing only one band. This result indicates that the developed CAPS marker can accurately distinguish between resistant and susceptible varieties.
[0029] In summary, the CAPS polymorphism marker can effectively distinguish eight different types of tomato varieties, verifying the effectiveness and feasibility of the developed CAPS marker in identifying tomato disease resistance.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
