Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of genetic breeding, and relates to molecular breeding, in particular to a method for genotyping by using sequence differences of alleles. BACKGROUND
[0002] Male sterility is an important way for Brassica napus hybrid utilization. The recessive epistatic cytoplasmic male sterility system of Brassica napus is a nuclear sterile system controlled by the interaction of recessive sterile genes and recessive epistatic inhibition genes (Chen et al., Crop Science, 1998, 24(4):431-438). The system is obtained by hybridization of homozygous "two-type lines" and "temporary preservation lines", and then hybridization of the full sterile line and "restoration lines" (any ordinary variety) to produce F1 hybrid "three-line" utilization mode (Patent No.: 97125803.1). The system has high sterility and stable sterility, and ordinary rapeseed varieties are its natural restoration lines, which overcomes the disadvantages of traditional recessive nuclear sterile "two-line method" for seed production, i.e. the need for artificial removal of 50% fertile plants. Since the system was proposed, many breeding units have applied it, and so far, several hybrid rapeseed varieties have been successfully bred for production. With the wide application of the sterile system and the increasing amount of seed production, rapid and accurate identification of hybrid seed purity has become a problem for those skilled in the art. The traditional identification method requires planting seeds to the flowering stage, observing the morphological characteristics (such as leaf color, shape), plant type, flower color and other characteristics of seedlings, relying on long-term experience accumulation and subjective experience of professional personnel, and the identification standards of different batches are easily affected by subjective judgment and planting methods. Moreover, with the increase of planting area and seed demand, it is urgent to explore a fast and accurate purity identification method to meet the rapid detection needs before the seeds are put on the market. SUMMARY
[0003] The present application provides a KASP molecular marker primer for detecting recessive epistatic nuclear sterile BnMs3 and Bnms3, and an application and method thereof, which solves the problem of using KASP markers to distinguish the genotypes of Bnms3 and BnMs3 and then identify the heterozygosity of seeds.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0026] The experimental methods used in the following experimental examples are conventional methods unless otherwise specified; the materials, reagents, etc. used are reagents and materials available from commercial channels unless otherwise specified.
[0027] Utilization of cell nucleus male sterility is an important way for utilization of hybrid vigor of rapeseed. In the recessive epistatic nuclear sterile line, Linbao line and restorer line of Brassica napus, BnMs3 / Bnms3 (BnC9.Tic40 / BnC9.tic40) and Bnms4 a / Bnms4 b / Bnms4 cThese are two key and independent loci. b Rf b or Bnms3Bnms3Rf b Rf c The temporary line maintains the genotype of Bnms3Bnms3Rf c Rf c All lines with BnMs3 allele are fertile. b Rf b The production of is very important, usually BnMs3Bnms3Rf b Rf b Self-pollination or cross-pollination with Bnms3Bnms3Rf b Rf b The separation ratios of hybridization were 1:2:1 and 1:1, respectively. The separation of BnMs3 / Bnms3 was consistent with the separation of fertility. b Rf b It is used to prepare hybrid seed parents with the Linbao line in the future. At the same time, in the production of hybrid seeds, due to various reasons such as mixing, the hybrid F1 generation seeds may not reach 100% purity. The hybrid F1 generation produced by this system contains the BnMs3 allele and can be completely fertile. b Allele-specific bud death is generally severe, leading to yield reduction. Therefore, it is crucial to identify the purity of F1 seeds. Developing molecular markers based on the sequence differences between BnMs3 and Bnms3 is one of the most economical and effective approaches for identifying hybrid fertility and heterozygosity. Sequence divergence analysis of BnMs3 and Bnms3 revealed the presence of SNPs or INDELs. Primers were designed targeting these variants. These primers were screened using restorer lines, sterile lines, and F1 hybrids from the same system. Validation was achieved using segregating populations, ultimately leading to the development of the KASP marker for distinguishing Bnms3 from BnMs3 genotypes. This marker demonstrated excellent discrimination and has been successfully applied to hybrid purity identification and molecular-assisted selection in the recessive epistatic male sterile system of Brassica napus.

In 2024, hybrid seed production was carried out in Zhangye rapeseed seed production base in Gansu in summer. After seed harvesting, germination was carried out, and single plant sampling was carried out. The marker was used for indoor molecular identification, and the calculation formula of the purity of hybrid seeds is as follows:
[0051] Pur (%) = F / (A + B + F) * 100 %;
[0052] Wherein, Pur is the purity of hybrid seeds; A is the number of dominant homozygous single plants; B is the number of recessive homozygous single plants; and F is the number of single plants of heterozygous genotype.
[0053] Using the above calculation formula of hybrid seed purity, the purity of Fenghua You 790 hybrid seeds was calculated, and the results are as follows:
[0054] Combination name Same genotype as paternal parent (line) Same genotype as maternal parent (line) Heterozygous single (line) Purity F1 2 5 185 96.35%
