Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biotechnology and specifically relates to a wheat stripe rust resistance locus. QYr.cau-2AL Application of tightly linked SNP molecular markers. Background Art

[0002] wheat( Triticum aestivum Wheat stripe rust (L.) is a key food crop. Wheat stripe rust poses a devastating threat to wheat production and is a major biological disaster affecting food security and food safety. It is highly contagious, destructive, and spreads widely and rapidly. Therefore, effectively controlling the occurrence and spread of stripe rust is crucial for ensuring safe wheat production. Planting resistant varieties reduces reliance on fungicides, is both cost-effective and environmentally friendly, and is a long-standing disease control measure used both domestically and internationally.

[0003] More than 500 wheat stripe rust resistance genes or quantitative trait loci (QTLs) have been reported from various wheat varieties and their closely related species, covering all 21 pairs of wheat chromosomes, including 87 officially named resistance genes ( Yr1 to Yr87 ) and dozens of temporary names Yr Genes (Sharma et al. 2024; Klymiuk et al. 2022; McIntosh et al. 2020), and over 400 disease resistance QTLs (Tong et al. 2024; Jan et al. 2021). Some of these genes / locus are race-specific genes that control immune responses or confer complete disease resistance throughout the wheat growth cycle. These resistance genes are easily overcome by new virulent races of stripe rust, rendering them ineffective. Over-reliance on these genes in production can lead to severe stripe rust epidemics. Others are quantitative loci that control disease resistance in adult wheat. Most adult resistance QTLs confer resistance to different stripe rust pathogenic races, demonstrating non-race-specific characteristics. These resistances do not confer complete immunity, significantly reducing directional selection pressure on the pathogen, thereby delaying the emergence of new virulent race mutants and prolonging disease resistance.

Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2019, 132, 457-471. The public may obtain this biological material from the applicant for use only in replicating the experiments of the present invention and may not be used for any other purpose.

[0041] In an embodiment of the present invention, a method for constructing a Luke×AQ recombinant inbred line population is as follows: wheat Luke is used as the female parent and wheat AQ is used as the male parent for hybridization to obtain hybrid F1, F1 generation individual plants are self-pollinated to obtain F2, and starting from the F2 generation, self-pollination is repeated to F8 and above by the single-seed transmission method to form a Luke×AQ recombinant inbred line population.

[0042] The following examples were processed using SAS 9.4 statistical software. The experimental results were expressed as mean ± standard deviation and tested using One-way ANOVA. P < 0.001 (****) indicated a highly significant difference.

[0043] Example 1. Wheat stripe rust resistance QTL ( QYr.cau-2AL ) and its KASP marker acquisition 1. Acquisition of phenotype and genotype A total of 138 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of Luke×AQ and their parents were planted in Wushan County, Tianshui City, Gansu Province (1680 m above sea level, average annual temperature 7.8°C, annual precipitation 538.4 mm) and Shengzhuang Town, Tai'an City, Shandong Province (90 m, 12.9°C, 750.4 mm) in mid-September and early October, respectively. A randomized complete block design was used with three replicates, with single-row plots, 1 m long, and 25 cm spacing. Approximately 40 seeds were evenly sown per row. Every 60 rows, a group of parents and a susceptible control (AQ, Luke, and Mingxian 169) were sown. Disease occurred naturally in the Gansu trial site, while the Shandong trial site was artificially inoculated with CYR32.

[0044] The severity of stripe rust was assessed using the method of Peterson et al. (1948), i.e., the percentage of lesion area on diseased leaves to the leaf surface area. Surveys were conducted when the severity of stripe rust on the flag leaves of the susceptible control Mingxian 169 plants reached 10-30% (i.e., early stage of disease), 50-60% (i.e., mid-stage of disease), and 80-90% (i.e., late stage of disease). The average severity of all flag leaves in each plot was visually measured and used as the stripe rust severity for each line and the two parental lines in each recombinant inbred line. Based on the data from the three surveys, the area under the disease progression curve (AUDPC) was calculated according to the following formula (1): Formula (1); In formula (1), x i represents the condition value of the i-th survey, x (i+1) represents the condition value of the i+1th survey, t i represents the date of the i-th survey, t (i+1) represents the date of the i+1th survey; t (i+1) -t i represents the number of days between the i-th and i+1-th surveys.

[0045] Genomic DNA from the parents AQ and Luke and their recombinant inbred lines was extracted using the CTAB method and analyzed using a NanoDrop 2000 ultramicro-spectrophotometer. Qualified DNA was diluted to a working solution of 50 ng / μL and sent to Beijing Capital Biotech Co., Ltd. (http: / / www.capitalbiotech.com) for genotyping using the Illumina iSelect 90K SNP array.

[0046] 2. Genetic map construction and QTL analysis The molecular marker data obtained in step 1 were first filtered to remove markers with a missing value rate greater than 10% and skewed segregation. Redundant markers were then temporarily removed using the BIN function in the software IciMapping V4.0, that is, only one marker was retained as a "skeleton" marker in a recombination segment (i.e., marker site). Linkage clustering was then performed using JoinMap 4.0 software, and each linkage group was ordered. The relative genetic distance (centi-Morgan, cM) between markers was calculated using the Kosambi function. Finally, the linkage group SNP flanking sequences were aligned with the Chinese Spring reference genome sequence to determine the corresponding chromosome and centromere position of each linkage group.

[0047] QTL analysis was performed using the Composite Interval Mapping (CIM) method using Windows QTL Cartographer 2.5 software. The significance threshold was set at 11.5 (equivalent to LOD = 2.5). When the logarithm of the odds (LOD) of the likelihood function exceeded the significance threshold of 2.5, a disease resistance QTL was identified. A stripe rust resistance QTL was located on the long arm of chromosome 2A and named QYr.cau-2AL Under different environmental conditions, the stripe rust resistance QTL can significantly reduce the severity of stripe rust, explaining 23% to 40% of the phenotypic variation in the disease. The disease resistance allele comes from the parent AQ.

[0048] 3. Development of KASP markers KASP primers were designed using DNAMAN software based on the principles of competitive allele-specific PCR (KASP). These primers consist of two allele-specific forward primers (allele-specific forward primers 1 and 2) and a common reverse primer. Since the 3'-terminal base of the forward primer must correspond to the allele site of the allele, two forward primer design methods are available: using the sequence to the left of the SNP site as the forward primer (designed from left to right) or the sequence to the right of the SNP site (designed from right to left). Design criteria include: primer length of 19-28 bp, GC content of 40%-60%, optimal forward primer Tm of 61°C-63°C, and reverse primer Tm of 62°C-65°C; and amplification product length of 45-70 bp. In addition, the primer sequences were aligned by Blast at IWGSC (https: / / urgi.versailles.inra.fr / blast_iwgsc / blast.php) to ensure that the primers could correctly recognize the target sites.

[0049] The target SNP 1 is located at nucleotide position 51 of SEQ ID No. 4, which is a G or A polymorphism and corresponds to a physical position of 787,111,581 on chromosome 2A in the Chinese Spring v2.1 wheat reference genome. The flanking sequence (SEQ ID No. 4): 5'-GAATATAGCGAAGGGGTTCCTCTCAGATCATCGGACTCGTTCCGGTCACTrCATTGATGCCCGGTCAGCCGCGCTGGCCATCGATTTTCACCGAGCTAGGG-3' corresponds to a physical position of 787,111,531 to 787,111,635 on chromosome 2AL in the Chinese Spring v2.1 wheat reference genome. In SEQ ID No. 4, r is either a or g. KASP marker primers were designed based on the antisense strand of SNP 1 (i.e., designed from right to left) and named KASP-44575. The primer sequences are as follows: Forward primer 1: 5'- GAAGGTGACCAAGTTCATGCT GCTGACCGGGCATCAATGT-3' (SEQ ID No. 1, wherein the underlined portion, i.e., nucleotides 1-21 of SEQ ID No. 1, is a FAM fluorescent labeling sequence); Forward primer 2: 5'-GAAGGTCGGAGTCAACGGATT GCTGACCGGGCATCAATGC-3' (SEQ ID No. 2, wherein the underlined portion, i.e., nucleotides 1-21 of SEQ ID No. 2, is a HEX fluorescent labeling sequence); Universal reverse primer: 5′-AATATAGCGAAGGGGTTCCTCTCAGAT-3′ (SEQ ID No. 3).

[0050] The single-stranded DNA molecules shown in SEQ ID No. 1 and SEQ ID No. 3 amplify a fragment in which the nucleotide at the antisense strand of the SNP1 site is homozygous for T, corresponding to the homozygous fragment in which the nucleotide at the sense strand of the SNP1 site in SEQ ID No. 4 is A, hereinafter referred to as the genotype AA of the SNP1 site; the single-stranded DNA molecules shown in SEQ ID No. 2 and SEQ ID No. 3 amplify a fragment in which the nucleotide at the antisense strand of the SNP1 site is C, corresponding to the homozygous fragment in which the nucleotide at the sense strand of the SNP1 site in SEQ ID No. 4 is G, hereinafter referred to as the genotype GG of the SNP1 site.

[0051] Example 2. Molecular marker KASP-44575 in identifying wheat stripe rust resistance QYr.cau-2AL Application In order to further test the developed KASP-44575 marker in identifying the target SNP1 site polymorphism, that is, detecting the stripe rust resistance site closely linked to it QYr.cau-2AL To demonstrate the accuracy and high resolution of KASP marker typing, 113 strains were selected from the Luke×AQ recombinant inbred line population to verify the typing effect of KASP markers. The specific method was as follows: 1. Determination of stripe rust resistance in 113 lines and their parents A total of 113 recombinant inbred lines (Luke×AQ) were randomly selected (Table 1, numbered 1 to 113). These lines and their parents (wheat Luke and wheat AQ) were planted on September 26, 2019, in a field in Wushan County, Tianshui City, Gansu Province (1680 m above sea level, with an average annual temperature of 7.8°C and an annual precipitation of 538.4 mm). A randomized complete block design was used, with three replicates per line. Each plot had a single row length of 1 m and a row spacing of 25 cm. Forty seeds were evenly sown per row. Every 60 rows, a pair of parents (AQ and Luke) and a susceptible control (Mingxian 169) were sown. Stripe rust naturally occurred in this experimental plot.

[0052] In June of the second year (2020), when the stripe rust disease was prevalent, the severity of stripe rust disease in the flag leaves of the susceptible control Mingxian 169 plant reached 10-30% (i.e., the date of the first survey was June 11, 2020), 50-60% (i.e., the date of the second survey was June 18, 2020), and 80-90% (i.e., the date of the third survey was June 24, 2020), respectively. The stripe rust disease severity of the 113 test lines and the parents Luke and AQ was investigated three times according to the method of Peterson et al. (1948). The AUDPC value of the stripe rust disease severity of each line was calculated according to formula (1) in step 1 of the example (Table 1).

[0053] 2. Determination of SNP1 genotypes of 113 strains and their parents The genomic DNA of the 113 lines and their parents (wheat Luke and wheat AQ) in step 1 was extracted and used as templates, and fluorescence quantitative PCR amplification was performed using specific primers (SEQ ID No. 1, SEQ ID No. 2 and SEQ ID No. 3) of the molecular marker KASP-44575.

No. AQP-001S, Beijing Jiacheng Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) were used in a 10 μL reaction system consisting of 5.00 μL of HiGeno 2× Probe Mix, 0.14 μL of SNP-Specific Primers (this component is not included in the PCR reaction volume), 2.00 μL of template DNA (25 ng / μL), and 3.00 μL of ddH2O. The HiGeno 2× Probe Mix contains Taq DNA polymerase, a universal fluorescent reporter probe, dNTPs, buffer, MgCl2, and the reference dye ROX. Each 100 μL of SNP-Specific Primers contains 12 μL of forward primer 1 (100 μM), 12 μL of forward primer 2 (100 μM), 30 μL of universal reverse primer (100 μM), and 46 μL of ddH2O.

[0055] PCR was performed using an ABI QuantStudio 6 Flex fluorescence quantitative PCR instrument with the following procedure: (1) denaturation at 95°C for 10 min; (2) denaturation at 95°C for 20 s, annealing / extension at 61°C for 40 s, with the annealing temperature decreasing by 0.6°C each cycle, for 10 consecutive cycles; (3) denaturation at 95°C for 20 s, annealing / extension at 55°C for 40 s, for 34 consecutive cycles; (4) incubation at 30°C for 2 min, and reading the fluorescence signal value.

[0056] Using QuantStudio Real-Time PCR Software v1.3, we clustered the samples by analyzing the fluorescence signal values ​​and finally achieved genotyping. Figure 1 As shown, samples with blue fluorescent signals (i.e., signal values ​​aggregated close to the Y-axis) represent the binding of the FAM fluorescent group, and the genotype of the SNP1 site in the wheat genome to be tested is AA, which is consistent with the parent AQ; samples with red fluorescent signals (i.e., signal values ​​aggregated close to the X-axis) represent the binding of the HEX fluorescent group, and the genotype of the SNP1 site in the wheat genome to be tested is GG, which is consistent with the parent Luke.

[0057] The genotypes of each strain and the AUDPC values ​​of the severity of stripe rust in the field in Gansu are shown in Table 1. Genotyping using the KASP-44575 marker showed that the genotype of the SNP1 site in the genome of 61 strains was AA, which means that they contain the stripe rust resistance locus. QYr.cau-2AL , the genotype of SNP1 in the genome of 52 strains was GG, which means that they did not contain stripe rust resistance loci QYr.cau-2AL ; The AUDPC values ​​of the above strains were statistically analyzed and the results showed that QYr.cau-2AL The average AUDPC value of stripe rust of the strains with the genotype of SNP1 locus being AA was 197.22, excluding QYr.cau-2AL The average stripe rust disease value of the strain with the SNP1 locus being GG was 556.11, and the difference in the stripe rust AUDPC values ​​between the two strains reached an extremely significant level (P<0.0001) ( Figure 2 ). The stripe rust AUDPC value of wheat Luke was 462.50, and the stripe rust AUDPC value of wheat AQ was 167.35.

[0058] This result indicates that the KASP-44575 (SNP1) marker can be used as a QTL locus for wheat stripe rust resistance. QYr.cau-2AL Detection and molecular marker-assisted breeding.
