[0031] Example 1: Construction of genetically isolated populations

[0032] The experimental materials used in this application were provided by the Vegetable Genetics, Breeding and Biotechnology Research Group of Shenyang Agricultural University, including the multi-branched Chinese cabbage stalk 'BCT38' and the single-branched Chinese cabbage heart 'CX010'.

[0033] The Chinese cabbage stalk material 'BCT38' is a DH line derived from a multi-branched Chinese cabbage stalk by the free microspore culture method.

[0034] The Chinese flowering cabbage material 'CX010' is a DH line derived from the common single-branched flowering cabbage by the free microspore culture method.

[0035] Using 'BCT38' and 'CX010' as parents, F1 plants were obtained by hybridization. The F1 plants were self-pollinated to construct F2 segregating populations. From the 1013 F2 populations, 50 plants each of few-branched plants with 1-4 branches, many-branched plants with 8-9 branches, and many-branched plants with 5-7 branches were selected to construct F2 segregating populations. Parental and F2 few-branched pools, intermediate pools, and many-branched pools were constructed for GradedPool-Seq sequencing and genetic mapping.

[0036] The F1 population was planted in the autumn of 2021, and the F2 population was planted in the spring of 2022. During the experiment, the two parents and the constructed F2 population were planted in the greenhouse breeding base on the back mountain of Shenyang Agricultural University. After germination, the seedlings were raised in plug trays. Normal cultivation and management methods were adopted. The number of branches at the base of each plant was counted during the period when the branch phenotype was most obvious. Among them, the standard for investigating the number of branches was that the number of branches within 5 cm of the base of the stem was the branches at the base of the stem.

[0037] Example 2: InDel molecular marker development

[0038] 1.GradedPool-Seq (GPS) initial positioning

[0039] Fifty plants each from the multi-branch pool, the few-branch pool, and the intermediate pool were selected from the F2 segregating population. Leaf genomic DNA was extracted using the modified CTAB method. After extraction, the concentration was determined and the samples were diluted and adjusted before equal mixing. The extracted DNA from the mixed pool samples was sent to Shanghai Paisonno Biotechnology Co., Ltd. for GPS sequencing. The information from the Chinese cabbage genome database (http: / / brassicadb.org / brad / datasets / pub / Genomes / Brassica_rapa / V3.5 / ) was used as the The reference genome was combined with the sequencing results of the two parents, and the filtered SNP sites were tested using Ridit analysis. The frequency differences of SNPs between different mixed pools were calculated. After Ridit test analysis, the data were denoised, and the proportion of sites with significant p-values ​​to the total sites in the sliding window area was counted to determine the regions significantly associated with the traits. Finally, three candidate regions related to the branching trait were obtained, which were 31.6Mb~32.4Mb, 32.8Mb~33.2Mb, and 34.0Mb~34.8Mb, respectively, and located on chromosome A09.

[0040] 2. InDel Primer Design

[0041] According to the GPS sequencing results, InDel markers were designed at sites with large fragment differences in the peak region, and primers were designed using Premier 5.0 software. The primers were synthesized by Shanghai Sangon Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

[0042] 3. InDel Primer Screening

[0043] The linkage relationship between the polymorphic marker and the target gene was verified using individual plants from the segregating population. Based on the sequencing results, molecular markers were designed and screened for polymorphisms at InDel sites on chromosome A09 that differed by more than 5 bp between the two parents. Finally, the A0909InDel marker closest to the gene controlling the branching trait was obtained.

[0044] Example 3: Method for identifying branching traits of Chinese cabbage stalks using InDel molecular markers

[0045] 1. Method for extracting genomic DNA from leaves of parents and F2 populations

[0046] (1) Fresh leaves were quickly frozen in liquid nitrogen, ground into powder, and transferred to a 2 ml centrifuge tube. 700 μL of CTAB solution preheated to 65°C was added to allow the solution to fully contact the leaves. The centrifuge tube was placed in an oven for 40 min, inverted and shaken every 10 min. The centrifuge tube was placed in an oven for 60 min, shaken every 10 min.

[0047] (2) Remove the centrifuge tube from the oven, cool it for 10 minutes, add 700uL of chloroform:isoamyl alcohol (24:1), invert it for 3 minutes, mix it thoroughly, centrifuge it at room temperature for 10 minutes at a speed of 12000 rpm, and transfer 450uL of the supernatant to a pre-sterilized centrifuge tube.

[0048] (3) Add 2 times the volume of anhydrous ethanol (about 900 μL) pre-cooled in a -30°C refrigerator to the centrifuge tube, shake gently, place the centrifuge tube in a -80°C refrigerator for 10 minutes, centrifuge at room temperature for 10 minutes at a speed of 12,000 rpm, discard the supernatant, invert the centrifuge tube on filter paper, absorb it, add 700 μL of 70% ethanol, and centrifuge for 3 minutes at a speed of 3,000 rpm.

[0049] (4) Repeat step (3), discard the supernatant, invert the centrifuge tube overnight, add 100uL of pre-sterilized ultrapure water the next day, centrifuge for 2 minutes at 12000rpm, detect the DNA concentration with an enzyme-labeled instrument, and store in a -20℃ refrigerator.

[0050] 2. Amplification of labeled primer A0909 in parental and F2 population DNA

[0051] The amplification reaction system was as follows: 6 μL ddH2O, 1 μL DNA, 1 μL Buffer, 0.8 μL dNTP, 0.2 μL Taq, and 0.5 μL each of upstream and downstream primers. The amplification reaction procedure was as follows: pre-denaturation at 95°C for 5 min; denaturation at 95°C for 30 s, annealing at 55-60°C for 30 s, and extension at 72°C for 1 min (35 cycles); and post-extension at 72°C for 5 min.

[0052] 3. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis detection

[0053] The PCR products were separated by 6% non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at 220V constant power, and finally silver stained for color development. After color development, the gel was placed under a film viewing light to read and record the band pattern.

[0054] 4. Genotyping Statistics

[0055] The electrophoresis results were photographed under a light. If the band separated by primer A0909 was consistent with the band of the multi-branched Chinese cabbage 'BCT38' and contained only a 108bp DNA fragment, its sequence was Seq ID No.1, indicating that the material showed multi-branching and was recorded as A; if it was consistent with the band of the few-branched Chinese cabbage 'CX010' and contained a 117bp DNA fragment, its sequence was Seq ID No.2, indicating that the material showed few branches and was recorded as B; if the material with both 108bp and 117bp bands was present, it was a dominant heterozygous single plant, showing moderate branching and was recorded as H.

[0056] Seq ID No.1:

[0057] AATGTTGAGTGGGGGTAAGATCCAAAGCTTTCGTCTTTTTGCGGGATTGATACTAAAGTTTGAGCCTTTTGATTTGATCTGTTTG AGGAGAAGTTGCTTGGTTTAG

[0058] Seq ID No.2:

[0059] AATGTTGAGTGGGGGTAAGATCCAAAGCTTTCGTCTTTTTGCGGGATTGATACTAAAGTTTGAGCCTTTTTTGGCTTTGATATTTG ATCTGTTTGAGGAGAAGTTGCTTGGTTTAG

[0060] 5. Feasibility Verification

[0061] To verify the feasibility and accuracy of this marker, 30 F2 samples were identified using this method. All sample materials were from the Vegetable Genetics, Breeding and Biotechnology Laboratory of Shenyang Agricultural University, and the degree of individual plant correspondence was high.

[0062] The above results show that the use of InDel markers and primers developed in this study can more quickly screen the number of branches based on the genotype of F2 individual plants, greatly improving breeding efficiency, having important application value, and providing theoretical and technical support for the cultivation of high-quality new varieties of Chinese cabbage stalks.
