Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of molecular marker breeding, in particular to a SNP molecular marker related to wheat thousand grain weight and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important global food crops and an important source of energy and nutrition for human beings. Thousand grain weight (TGW) is one of the important factors constituting wheat yield and an important index for determining the quality of wheat seeds. Therefore, it has important application value in wheat high-yield breeding to mine excellent allelic variations regulating thousand grain weight and develop functional markers.

[0003] In recent years, QTL positioning of wheat thousand grain weight and related traits has been one of the research hotspots of wheat yield traits. It is reported that QTLs of thousand grain weight and related traits have been positioned on 21 chromosomes of wheat. For example, Yu Manli et al. positioned 6 QTLs of thousand grain weight on 1D, 2B, 3D, 6D and 7A chromosomes by using RIL population created by H307 / Zhengmai9023, which can explain 4.54-13.14% of phenotypic variation. Gao et al. positioned 13 QTLs of thousand grain weight on 1AL, 2DL(2), 3DL, 4AL, 4BS, 5AL(2), 5AS, 5BL, 6A, 7AL and 7BL chromosomes by using Zhou8425B / Changnian RIL population. Among them, QTKW.caas-6A.1 and QTKW.caas-7AL can be detected in all environments, which can explain 4.8-10.3% and 3.5-6.5% of phenotypic variation. Zhang Zeyuan et al. constructed 216 recombinant inbred line population by using Heshangtou and Longchun 23, and identified 51 QTLs related to grain weight in 4 environments by 55k SNP genotyping, including 4 QTLs which can stably exist in 3 or more environments, located on 2D, 5A, 6B and 7D chromosomes. Kim et al. positioned grain traits by using F2-F5 of soft wheat and hard wheat cross, and found 5 QTL sites controlling thousand grain weight, located on 3B, 1AS / 1AL, 1BS / 1BL, 3DL and 2AS, each QTL contributed 5.0%-12.2%. Cao Dong et al. identified 5 QTLs of thousand grain weight by using F2 population, distributed on 1B, 5A, 5B, 5D and 7B chromosomes, which can explain 8.9%-10.9% of phenotypic variation; at the same time, it was found that the same QTL site controlling multiple traits existed on 5B and 7B chromosomes, which belonged to one-factor multi-effect action.

[0004] Although many QTLs related to the thousand kernel weight of wheat have been located at present, due to the fact that the phenotypic contribution rates of most QTLs are small, the additive effect is required to be reflected, and the repeatability is poor among different years and environments, so these QTLs are difficult to be applied to the genetic improvement of the thousand kernel weight of wheat. SUMMARY

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide a SNP molecular marker related to the thousand kernel weight of wheat and application thereof, so as to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0008] The second technical solution of the present application is a method for identifying the thousand kernel weight of wheat by using the SNP molecular marker, comprising the following steps: detecting the genotype of the single nucleotide polymorphism site corresponding to the SNP molecular marker in the wheat genome DNA to be identified, and the thousand kernel weight of the wheat with the genotype of CC is higher than that of the wheat with the genotype of TT.

[0010] The fourth technical solution of the present application is a primer combination for specifically amplifying the SNP molecular marker, wherein the primer combination comprises the sequences shown in SEQ ID NO: 2 to SEQ ID NO: 5.

[0011] The fifth technical solution of the present application is the application of the SNP molecular marker in the breeding of the thousand kernel weight related traits of wheat.

[0012] The sixth technical solution of the present application is the application of the SNP molecular marker in the identification or auxiliary identification of the thousand kernel weight related traits of wheat.

[0013] The seventh technical solution of the present application is the application of the SNP molecular marker in the preparation of a product for identifying or auxiliary identifying the thousand kernel weight related traits of wheat.

[0014] Based on the above technical solutions, the present application has the following technical effects:

[0015] The present application finds, through genetic variation analysis of genes of a natural variation population of wheat, one SNP corresponding to the 783th position from the 5' end of SEQ ID NO:1. Through designing a dCAPS marker for the SNP site, it is found that the SNP has two genotypes: genotype A (C) and genotype B (T). Through correlation analysis, it is proved that the size of 1000-grain weight of the homozygous types of the two genotypes is: genotype A homozygous wheat > genotype B homozygous wheat.

[0038] 1.1 Specific primers for amplifying the genomic fragment containing the wheat SNP and sequence analysis

[0039] A SNP was found on chromosome 4A of the wheat genome (iwgsc_refseqv1.0 assembly for Triticum aestivum), corresponding to position 783 from the 5' end of SEQ ID NO. 1. Two genotypes were found at this site in the naturally occurring wheat population:

[0040] SEQ ID NO: 1(>chromosome:IWGSC:4A:406557729-406560182):

[0041]

[0042]

[0043] Note: The bold and tilted sites in the sequence are SNP sites. The underlined sites represent the sites used for PCR amplification of the sequence 384-1170 shown in SEQ ID NO: 1. The double underlined sites represent the sites used for PCR amplification of the sequence 688-805 shown in SEQ ID NO: 1.

[0044] Genotype A: C; Genotype B: T.

[0045] Based on the sequence differences of different wheat genomes, specific primers were designed to PCR amplify DNA fragments containing the SNP sites:

[0046] F1: ATGAAAGAAGCCCTCCGAGAA (SEQ ID NO: 2);

[0047] R1:TCAGAATAAGGTGCATATCTTCTT (SEQ ID NO: 3)

[0050] The sequence of 384-1170 of SEQ ID NO: 1 is amplified by PCR using primers F1 and R1, and the sequence of 688-805 of SEQ ID NO: 1 is amplified by PCR using primers F2 and R2. Enzymatic analysis shows that the polymorphism can be recognized by Xho I.

[0051] 1.2Establishment of PCR-enzyme digestion polymorphism detection and genotyping method

[0052] 1) Extract the genomic DNA of the wheat to be tested.

[0053] 2) Using the genomic DNA of step 1) as a template, primers F1 and R1 are used for PCR amplification, and the PCR amplification system (20 μL) is as follows: ddH2O 7 μL, 2 × TaqMix 10 μL, 1 μL of primer F1 (10 μmol / L) and primer R1 (10 μmol / L) each, and 1 μL of template (20 ng / μL).

[0054] The PCR amplification conditions are as follows: 95°C for 3 min; 95°C for 30 s, 54°C for 30 s, 72°C for 30 s, 30 cycles; 72°C for 10 min, and 16°C for storage.

[0056] The PCR amplification conditions are as follows: 95°C for 3 min; 95°C for 30 s, 54°C for 30 s, 72°C for 15 s, 35 cycles; 72°C for 10 min, and 16°C for storage.

[0057] 4) The PCR product obtained in step 3) is digested with Xho I to obtain the digested product, which is subjected to 4% agarose gel electrophoresis detection, and whether the PCR product is cut into two fragments is recorded, and the condition of the wheat to be tested at the site is judged and recorded according to the following method:

[0058] If the digested product is two or smaller fragments: 94 bp, then the genotype of the wheat to be tested at the site is C / C; if the digested product is one or larger fragment: 118 bp, then the genotype of the wheat to be tested at the site is T / T. Figure 1 ).

[0059] 5) According to the results of step 4), the wheat is divided into the following two types I and II according to the condition at the site:

[0060] I: C / C (i.e. genotype A homozygous); II: T / T (i.e. genotype B homozygous).

[0061] Note: The former is the case of one homologous chromosome, and the latter is the case of another homologous chromosome.

[0062] 1.3 Typing of natural population by using dCAPS marker and correlation analysis with the thousand kernel weight trait

[0063] In the natural population of 348 hexaploid wheat, each wheat was used as a test wheat for typing, and the amplification products of wheat were sequenced and verified. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0070]

[0071]

[0072] Exon capture sequencing was carried out on 383 materials, and specific genotyping was carried out on these materials, including genotype A homozygous C / C and genotype B homozygous T / T. As shown in Table 2, among the 383 materials, 371 materials could be clearly divided into genotype A homozygous C / C or genotype B homozygous T / T, and the remaining 12 materials could not be genotyped. Figure 3

[0073] In addition, among the 383 materials, 348 had multi-year and multi-point agronomic trait data, and the remaining 35 materials could not meet the subsequent analysis requirements due to insufficient data. Therefore, as shown in Table 2 and Table 3, only 348 data were used in the correlation analysis of the case of genetic polymorphism site in the natural population and the thousand kernel weight. Figure 4

[0074] ​​In 2018, the natural population of wheat was planted in the dry-hot land and dry land and water-hot land of the Sanfenzhan Experimental Station of Hebei Agricultural University (Baoding, Hebei), in 2019 in the dry-hot land and dry land, water-hot land and water land of Hengshui Experimental Station of Hebei Agricultural University (Baoding and Hengshui, Hebei), in 2020 in the dry land and dry-hot land of Gaocun Experimental Station of Hebei Agricultural University (Gaocun Experimental Station), and the thousand-grain weight of each wheat variety was investigated. The association analysis of the thousand-grain weight and the polymorphic site was carried out by using Tassel2.1 software, the mixed linear model + population structure (MLM + (Q + K)) method was selected for analysis, the significant level was P < 0.05, and the results are shown in Table 2 and Figure 3

[0075] Table 2 Association analysis results of the natural population gene polymorphic site and the thousand-grain weight

[0076]

[0077]

[0078] The association analysis results of Table 2 show that the difference of the two types of thousand-grain weight of the natural population formed by the 331 hexaploid wheat shown in Table 1 reaches a significant level (P < 0.05). Among them, the thousand-grain weight of wheat of type I is higher than that of type II. In several environments, the thousand-grain weight of wheat material of type I is 0.682, 0.628, 0.733, 0.622, 1.065, 0.285, 0.699, 1.096, 0.989, 0.871 grams higher than that of type II, respectively. The study of the natural population shows that type I is an excellent genotype for improving the thousand-grain weight of wheat.

[0079] Example 2

[0080] In order to further verify that the genotype of genotype A homozygous is greater than or candidate genotype B homozygous wheat. The association analysis verification of the natural population gene polymorphic site and the thousand-grain weight was carried out on another 120 materials (Table 3), among which 3 materials were not genotyped, so the actual number of samples for association analysis verification was 117, which were used to verify the existence of the relationship between the molecular markers and the traits.

[0086] Table 4 Association analysis results of the natural population genetic polymorphic site and the thousand-grain weight

[0087]

[0088]

[0089] The verification results of the association analysis in Table 4 show that the difference of the two types of thousand-grain weight formed by the natural population of 120 hexaploid wheat in Table 3 reaches a significant level (P < 0.05). Among them, the thousand-grain weight of wheat of type I is higher than that of wheat of type II. In several environments, the thousand-grain weight of the wheat material of type I is 1.095, 0.544, 0.343, 0.309, 0.745, 0.54, 0.612, 0.514, 0.581, 0.783 grams higher than that of type II respectively. The research on the natural population shows that type I is an excellent genotype for improving the thousand-grain weight of wheat.

[0090] In conclusion, the present application discloses a SNP site related to the thousand-grain weight of wheat and application thereof. The present application finds that there is a SNP corresponding to the 783th position from the 5' end of SEQ ID NO: 1 by analyzing the genetic variation of the coding region of the natural variation population of wheat, and the SNP has two genotypes: genotype A (C) and genotype B (T). It is proved by association analysis that the size of the thousand-grain weight in the homozygous type of the two genotypes is: genotype A homozygous wheat > genotype B homozygous wheat. The present application also provides a dCAPS marker for detecting the SNP. Experiments prove that the wheat with higher thousand-grain weight can be found by detecting the SNP.
