Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a functional molecular marker of peanut pink seed coat regulating gene AhbHLH-2A / 2B and application thereof, and belongs to the field of molecular biology. BACKGROUND

[0002] Cultivated peanuts are important oil crops. Peanut seed coat covers the kernel, protecting it from physical damage and microbial invasion. Seed coat color is a key agronomic trait affecting the nutritional quality and market value of peanuts. Peanut seed coat color usually has five main types: white, brown (yellow-brown), pink, red, and purple (black). Compared with colored seed coat peanuts, white seed coat peanuts lack flavor but have obvious advantages in certain uses, such as use in food and beverages. In addition, white seed coat varieties can also improve processing efficiency and reduce peeling (bleaching) costs. Therefore, cultivating white seed coat peanuts has important economic value and market potential.

[0003] Since peanut seed coat is developed from the endodermis cells of the maternal plant, its genotype is the same as that of the maternal plant, but it may be different from the genotype of the peanut kernel. In peanut hybridization breeding and DUS (Distinctness, Uniformity, and Stability) testing, the segregation of seed coat color is a common challenge. Therefore, understanding the genetic mechanism of seed coat color is crucial in peanut breeding and production.

[0004] In terms of genetic research, some studies have obtained QTL sites related to the white peanut seed coat phenotype. For example, by analyzing differentially expressed genes (DEGs), some genes such as Araip.M7RY3 (COP9 signal complex subunit 1), Aradu.R8PMF (MYB transcription factor), and Araip.MHR6K (bHLH transcription factor) are considered to be related to the characteristics of white seed coat. However, current research has not yet obtained genes or functional molecular markers that regulate white seed coat, and further in-depth research is still needed.

[0005] Competitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) is a new genotyping technology based on single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), which can accurately genotype SNP and insertion-deletion (InDel) polymorphisms at the genomic level, and is widely used in plant, animal, and human medical research. Therefore, developing KASP molecular markers based on the QTL or mutation site of the target gene of peanut pink seed coat can be applied in peanut breeding. SUMMARY

[0006] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present application provides a functional molecular marker of peanut pink seed coat regulating gene AhbHLH-2A / 2B and application thereof.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is:

[0008] The functional molecular marker A02.97750456 and A12.113996432 of the white seed coat trait of peanut powder, the molecular marker site is an SNP / InDel insertion and deletion marker, and the sequence in the square brackets is the sequence of the site;

[0009] A02.97750456 is an InDel insertion and deletion marker, located at 97,750,456 bp of peanut chromosome 2, and the 100 bp sequences before and after the site are SEQ ID NO. 1 or SEQ ID NO. 2;

[0010] A12.113996432 is an SNP marker, located at 113,996,432 bp of peanut chromosome 12, and the 100 bp sequences before and after the site are SEQ ID NO. 6 or SEQ ID NO. 7.

[0011] The KASP primer set for amplifying the functional molecular marker comprises:

[0012] The KASP primer set for amplifying the A02.97750456 molecular marker site comprises:

[0013] Pinkish-whiteA02_F1: 5'-AGACGAGCTGAGTGCAAACCAA-3'(SEQ ID NO. 3),

[0014] Pinkish-whiteA02_F2: 5'-GACGAGCTGAGTGCAAACCAC-3'(SEQ ID NO. 4),

[0015] Pinkish-whiteA02_com: 5'-GGACAAGTGATCTTAGGATGATGAA-3'(SEQ ID NO. 5);

[0016] The KASP primer set for amplifying the A12.113996432 molecular marker site comprises:

[0017] Pinkish-whiteA12_F1: 5'-TACCTGGTAGTTGAACTTGGAGTTG-3' (SEQ ID NO. 8), Pinkish-whiteA12_F2: 5'-TACCTGGTAGTTGAACTTGGAGTTA-3' (SEQ ID NO. 9), Pinkish-whiteA12_com: 5'-CCGTTACCGAAGCAGATAATCAT-3' (SEQ ID NO. 10).

[0018] The method for identifying the color of peanut seed coat by using the functional molecular marker comprises the following steps:

[0019] (1) Extracting the DNA of the peanut sample to be identified, using the KASP primer set to detect the genotype data of the peanut sample to be identified, and performing genotyping on the InDel site of A02.97750456 and the SNP site of A12.113996432 of the peanut sample to be identified by the SNPLine genotyping platform;

[0020] (2) If the genotyping result of the InDel site of A02.97750456 is the mutant type Del:Del, and the SNP site of A12.113996432 is the mutant type T:T, then the color of the seed coat of the peanut sample is pink white;

[0021] If only the genotyping result of the InDel site of A02.97750456 is the mutant type Del:Del, or only the SNP site of A12.113996432 is the mutant type T:T, then the color of the seed coat of the peanut sample is pink or red.

[0022] The application of the molecular marker of the peanut pink white seed coat trait in the identification of the color of peanut seed coat.

[0023] The application of the molecular marker of the peanut pink white seed coat trait in peanut molecular breeding.

[0024] Advantages of the present application

[0025] (1) The application utilizes the recombinant inbred line population with Farjia 9102 and Tifrunner as parents, selects the pinkish-white seed coat family and the red seed coat family to construct a pool, and obtains the QTL interval linked to the pinkish-white seed coat trait on chromosomes 2 and 12 through BSA analysis. Based on the difference sites of the two parents in the preliminary positioning interval, KASP molecular markers are developed for fine mapping, and two major QTLs are located, which are qPinkish-whiteA02 and qPinkish-whiteA12. The marker most linked to qPinkish-whiteA02 is A02.97750456, with a LOD value of 12.77, and the phenotype variation explanation rate is 19.2%; the marker most linked to qPinkish-whiteA12 is A12.113996432, with a LOD value of 11.94, and the phenotype variation explanation rate is 18.1%.

[0026] (2) The genotypes of 276 families of the RIL population are analyzed by recombination unit, and it is found that the pinkish-white seed coat trait is simultaneously regulated by two QTLs qPinkish-whiteA02 and qPinkish-whiteA12, and the probability of the candidate genes of the two QTLs being homologous genes is higher because peanuts are allogeneic tetraploid crops. Based on the condition that the homologous genes in the recombination unit of the two QTLs simultaneously have a sense mutation site on the exon, the candidate genes are finally determined as arahy.MP3D3D (AhbHLH-2A) and arahy.26781N (AhbHLH-2B), and the two genes are bHLH transcription factors.

[0027] (3) By constructing a CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing vector to transform peanuts Yuhua 9326, the seed coat color of the transgenic strain with simultaneous mutation of AhbHLH-2A and AhbHLH-2B changes from pink to pinkish-white, which further proves that the two genes regulate the pinkish-white seed coat trait.

[0028] (4) Experiments prove that the two markers A02.97750456 and A12.113996432 are located on the exons of the two candidate genes, and the two markers are functional molecular markers for the pinkish-white seed coat trait of peanuts, which can quickly and accurately obtain the pinkish-white seed coat trait of peanuts and can be applied to peanut molecular assisted marker breeding.

[0034] The specific embodiments of the present application are further described in detail below in conjunction with the examples. Unless otherwise specified, the instruments and equipment in the examples are conventional instruments and equipment, the reagents are commercially available conventional reagents, and the test methods are conventional methods.

[0035] Example 1, Obtaining of major QTL of peanut powder white seed coat trait

[0036] 1.1 BSA analysis of peanut seed coat trait

[0037] The "Yuzacai 9102 x Tifrunner" recombinant inbred line (RIL) population has 276 families, of which 35 families are powder white seed coat, 50 families are red seed coat, and the remaining 191 families are pink seed coat. The mixed pool is constructed for the powder white seed coat families and the red seed coat families, respectively, and the whole genome resequencing is performed on the mixed pool and the parents, with a sequencing depth of more than 20x. With the cultivated peanut genome information (Arachis hypogaea.cv.Tifrunner V2.0) as the reference, the mixed pool separation analysis (BSA analysis) is performed on the genotyping data of the parents and the mixed pool.

[0038] Using four algorithms of Δ(SNP-index), G-statistic, Euclidean Distance, and Fisher-exact test, the high-quality SNP and InDel sites detected are subjected to association analysis, and a confidence level of 99% is taken as the screening threshold. The confidence intervals associated with the seed coat trait are obtained on chromosomes 2, 3, and 12 (Table 1). Combining the results obtained by the four algorithms, the intervals of 96.3Mb-99.2Mb (2.9Mb) on chromosome 2, 124.7Mb-129.3Mb (4.6Mb) on chromosome 3, and 96.5Mb-120.2Mb (23.7Mb) on chromosome 12 are finally determined as the candidate QTL intervals.

[0040]

[0041] 1.2 QTL mapping of pinkish-white seed coat trait

[0042] KASP primers were designed based on the different loci between the two parents in the initial positioning interval, a total of 28 loci primers were designed, and the genotypes of 276 families of the "Yuanza 9102 x Tifrunner" F9 RIL population and parents were detected by SNPLine genotyping platform.

[0043] The genotyping results were used to construct a genetic linkage map using JoinMap software, 26 of the 28 markers were linked to 3 linkage groups (LG02, LG03, LG12). The total length of linkage group LG02 was 13.5 cM, with a total of 7 markers; the total length of linkage group LG03 was 5.5 cM, with a total of 7 markers; the total length of linkage group LG12 was 30.0 cM, with a total of 12 markers.

[0044] The pinkish-white seed coat trait was marked as 2, and the red and pink seed coat was marked as 1. MapQTL software was used to map the QTL of the pinkish-white seed coat trait of the "Yuanza 9102 x Tifrunner" RIL population.

[0045] The results are shown in Figure 1 Two major QTLs were obtained on linkage maps LG02 and LG12, respectively, qPinkish-whiteA02 and qPinkish-whiteA12. The marker most linked to qPinkish-whiteA02 was A02.97750456, with a LOD value of 12.77 and a phenotypic variation explanation rate of 19.2%; the marker most linked to qPinkish-whiteA12 was A12.113996432, with a LOD value of 11.94 and a phenotypic variation explanation rate of 18.1%.

[0046] 1.3 Recombination unit analysis

[0047] Recombination unit analysis was performed on the genotypes of the 276 families of the RIL population, and the results are shown in Figure 2As shown, when the interval of 97.66Mb-98.28Mb of chromosome 2 (618.0Kb) is the paternal genotype and the interval of 113.05Mb-114.43Mb of chromosome 12 (1371.7Kb) is the maternal genotype, the family shows the trait of pink seed coat. When the interval of 97.66Mb-98.28Mb of chromosome 2 is the maternal genotype and the interval of 113.05Mb-114.43Mb of chromosome 12 is also the maternal genotype, the family shows the trait of pink or red seed coat. When the interval of 97.66Mb-98.28Mb of chromosome 2 is the paternal genotype and the interval of 113.05Mb-114.43Mb of chromosome 12 is also the paternal genotype, the family shows the trait of pink or red seed coat.

[0048] 1. Genes and mutation sites annotated in the QTL interval

[0049] Based on the information of the cultivated peanut genome (Arachis hypogaea. cv. Tifrunner V2.0) as a reference, the SNP and InDel markers different between the two parents Yuanza 9102 and Tifrunner in the interval of 97.66Mb-98.28Mb of chromosome 2 (618.0Kb) and in the interval of 113.05Mb-114.43Mb of chromosome 12 (1371.7Kb) were screened.

[0050] The results are shown in Table 2. There are 166 SNP and InDel markers different between the two parents Yuanza 9102 and Tifrunner in the interval of 97.66Mb-98.28Mb of chromosome 2 (618.0Kb), of which 6 sense mutation markers are located on the exons of 5 genes. There are 424 SNP and InDel markers different between the two parents Yuanza 9102 and Tifrunner in the interval of 113.05Mb-114.43Mb of chromosome 12 (1371.7Kb), of which 28 sense mutation markers are located on the exons of 10 genes.

[0052]

[0053]

[0054] qPinkish-whiteA02 and qPinkish-whiteA12 were in epistasis, and the epistatic contribution rate was 95.91%, that is, the pinkish-white seed coat trait was simultaneously regulated by the two QTLs. Peanut is an allopolyploid crop, so the probability of the candidate genes of the two QTLs being homologous genes is relatively high. Based on the existence of a sense mutation site in the exon of the homologous gene in the recombination unit of the two QTLs as the screening condition, the candidate genes were finally determined to be arahy.MP3D3D (AhbHLH-2A) and arahy.26781N (AhbHLH-2B), both of which are bHLH transcription factors.

[0055] The transcript sequences of AhbHLH-2A (arahy.MP3D3D) and AhbHLH-2B (arahy.26781N) were amplified from the cDNA of the seed coat of the two parents and analyzed. As shown in Figure 3

[0056] The detection amplification primers of the AhbHLH-2A gene are as follows:

[0057] bHLH.A02.CDs-F: 5'-TTATTATTATCATCTCATCTCACAA-3' (SEQ ID NO. 11);

[0058] bHLH.A02.CDs-R: 5'-TAGTAATTCACATTAAGGAAAAAAT-3' (SEQ ID NO. 12).

[0059] The detection amplification primers of the AhbHLH-2B gene are as follows:

[0060] bHLH.A12.CDs-F: 5'-TATTATCATCTCATCTCATCTCACA-3' (SEQ ID NO. 13);

[0061] bHLH.A12.CDs-R: 5'-AAGGTCTTAAACATCAACTTATACA-3' (SEQ ID NO. 14).

[0062] Example 2, Functional verification of peanut pinkish-white seed coat regulation gene

[0063] ​The AhbHLH-2A and AhbHLH-2B genes of peanuts are edited by using the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology, and the gene editing vector is constructed based on the pCSGAP01 vector and contains a 35S driven hygromycin resistance gene, an AtU6 driven sgRNA, and a 35S driven Cas9 protein.

[0064] 2.1 Determination of sgRNA target points and preparation of oligo dimers:

[0065] The target point sequence is 5'-CTGCAGTTCAATCTGTTCAATGG-3'(SEQ ID NO. 15) and is located at positions 47-69 of the first exon based on the homologous sequences of the first exon of the AhbHLH-2A gene and the AhbHLH-2B gene.

[0066] According to the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing target point design rules, the base sequence of 18-20 bp upstream of the protospacer-associated motif (PAM) is selected as the target sequence, 5'-N18-20NGG-3', NGG is the PAM conservative sequence, and N18-20 is the 18-20 bp base recognition sequence;

[0067] According to the target sequence, primers Target-Sense and Target-Antisense are designed to prepare oligo dimers;

[0068] Target-Sense: 5'-TGATTGCTGCAGTTCAATCTGTTCA-3'(SEQ ID NO. 16);

[0069] Target-Antisense: 5'-AAACTGAACAGATTGAACTGCAGCA-3'(SEQ ID NO. 17).

[0070] Oligo dimer preparation: centrifuge the Target-Sense and Target-Antisense primers at a speed of 5000 rpm for 1 min, dilute the primers to a final concentration of 10 μM with ddH2O, respectively, take 1 μL of each, add 18 μL of annealing buffer, mix well; keep at 95℃ for 3 min, then slowly cool to 20℃ at a rate of 0.2℃ / sec, keep for 5 min, dilute with water to 100 μL, and complete the preparation of the oligo dimer.

[0071] 2.2 Construction of CRISPR-Cas9 recombinant vector:

[0072] Select pCSGAP01 vector (Univivo Biotech (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd.) 10-30 μL, add bsal endonuclease 1 μL, bsal endonuclease buffer 5 μL, add water to 50 μL, 37°C for 1 h; recover the linearized vector after enzyme digestion 2 μL, add infusion Enzyme Mix 1 μL, synthetic oligo dimer 1 μL, 25°C for 1 h, to obtain the ligated vector.

[0073] Take the ligated vector 2 μL to transform E. coli competent DH5a, plate at 37°C overnight, pick single colonies and shake bacteria, extract plasmid, then perform plasmid sequencing. Save the positive colonies with correct sequencing to obtain the CRISPR-Cas9 recombinant vector plasmid.

[0075] 2.3 Genetic transformation of peanuts

[0076] (1) Embryogenic callus induction of explants

[0077] Take mature pods of different backgrounds or target peanuts, remove the shell, and pick the seeds that are full, clean, and free of bacterial spots. The peanut seed disinfection operation is as follows: soak the seeds in 75% alcohol for about 1 min, transfer to 0.1% mercury chloride solution for 8 min, remove the mercury solution, and rinse the seeds thoroughly with sterile water 5-7 times to remove residual disinfectants. Soak the seeds in sterile water overnight to promote seed water absorption and embryo germination.

[0078] (2) Embryogenic callus induction

[0079] Take the surface-disinfected peanut seeds, remove the cotyledons, embryo lobes, and hypocotyls of the peanut seeds on the clean bench, take the epicotyls and place them on the prepared MS induction medium, and place the inoculated medium in a 28°C constant temperature incubator under dark or light conditions. Subculture every 3-4 weeks, and obtain embryogenic calli for subsequent use after 3-4 subcultures; select embryogenic calli 4-12 months old that grow well and are free of contamination for subsequent experiments. The MS induction medium formula is shown in Table 3.

After bombardment, culture at 28°C for 3 d, then transfer to MS medium containing 20 mg / L hygromycin for selection, a total of 1 month, select new callus, transfer to MS containing 20 mg / L hygromycin for 2 times of subculture, to proliferate embryogenic callus for plant regeneration.

[0089] (5) Regeneration of peanut plants

[0090] Transfer the selected callus to MS medium and place it in a plant growth incubator at 30°C with 16 h light / 28°C with 8 h darkness to induce differentiation of peanut seedlings. After 1 month, cut about 2 cm of peanut seedlings and place them on rooting medium. After the seedlings have rooted, transfer the seedlings to flower soil as the experimental group. Use wild-type peanuts that have not been genetically transformed as the control group, and perform parallel culture and treatment to evaluate the effect of genetic transformation.

[0091] (6) Acquisition of white powder peanut seed coat new germplasm

[0092] The editing plants with homozygous mutation or double allelic mutation are selected for breeding, and the next generation seeds are harvested, that is, new germplasm peanuts with pink seed coat are obtained.

[0093] 2.4 Detection of gene editing mutation sites of regenerated plants

[0095] The detection amplification primers of the AhbHLH-2A gene target site are as follows:

[0096] bHLH.A02.CRISPR-F: 5'-GGAGTAATGATTAGTTATTTGGGTA-3' (SEQ ID NO. 19);

[0097] bHLH.A02.CRISPR-R: 5'-GAATGAGACACACATCAAATAGAAC-3' (SEQ ID NO. 20).

[0098] The detection amplification primers of the AhbHLH-2B gene target site are as follows:
