TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of agricultural bioengineering, in particular to a primer of a molecular marker closely linked to a wheat powdery mildew resistance gene PmCW178849 and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Wheat is a major food crop for human survival, and Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici Wheat powdery mildew caused by Bgt is a pandemic disease that poses a serious threat to global wheat production. Powdery mildew causes significant yield reduction in wheat, with a general range of 5-10%, and severe losses of up to 30-50%. Exploring wheat powdery mildew resistance genes and breeding disease-resistant varieties is a key strategy to reduce pesticide dependence in agricultural production. So far, more than 140 powdery mildew resistance genes and alleles have been identified in different germplasm resources of wheat. However, the continuous variation of pathogen races has led to the failure of many original resistance genes. Therefore, in order to resist the occurrence of powdery mildew, it is urgent to continuously explore, locate and clone new resistance sources from various types of wheat germplasm resources.
[0003] Wheat's close relatives and ancestral species contain rich genetic variation and are an important gene source for wheat genetic improvement. More than half of the reported powdery mildew resistance genes are derived from these species. Cultivated emmer ( Triticum dicoccum , 2n=4x=28, AABB) is a tetraploid and is widely considered to be the ancestor of common wheat due to its shared A and B genomes. This species contains rich superior traits, particularly in resisting biotic and abiotic stresses. In terms of powdery mildew resistance genes, key genes such as Pm4a, Pm49, Pm50, Pm71 all originate from cultivated emmer.
[0004] After exploring superior resistance genes, how to efficiently integrate them into wheat breeding is crucial. In the past decade, wheat breeding technology has continued to develop, and molecular marker-assisted selection (MAS) has become a core means of powdery mildew resistance breeding. Developing efficient, precise and easy-to-use molecular markers is the basis for achieving MAS of target genes. Using molecular markers to track target genes can significantly shorten the breeding cycle and improve efficiency.
[0005] The cultivated Triticum dicoccum CWI77849 has excellent agronomic traits, and shows good resistance to powdery mildew in multi-year and multi-point field identification, and is a valuable resistant powdery mildew germplasm resource. The genetic analysis of seedling resistance and molecular marker detection confirm that the resistance of CWI77849 to the prevalent powdery mildew strain E09 is controlled by a pair of dominant genes located on the 4AL chromosome of wheat, which is named as PmCWI77849 and belongs to a new wheat powdery mildew resistance gene that has not been reported. Therefore, the development of a molecular marker closely linked to PmCWI77849 and its application in the molecular marker assisted selection breeding of the gene have extremely important significance for breeding new wheat varieties resistant to powdery mildew and realizing effective prevention and control of the disease.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] The following examples are intended to better illustrate and enable the practice of the present application and are not intended to limit its scope. Unless otherwise indicated, the experimental methods used in the examples below were carried out in accordance with conventional methods. The test materials, reagents and the like used in the examples were obtained from commercial sources unless otherwise noted.

The F2 population was obtained by selfing the F1 derived from the cross between CWI77849 and LDN.
[0023] 2.

[0024] (7) The DNA storage solution was diluted with sterile deionized water to 50 ng / μL as a working solution for standby.
[0025] 3. Identification of wheat seedling resistance to powdery mildew and genetic analysis of resistance Wheat seedling resistance to powdery mildew was identified in greenhouse. The resistant parent CWI77849, the susceptible parent LDN, the F1 hybrid, the F2 population were planted in 128-hole plug trays (3.2 x 3.2 x 4.2 cm), and at least 20 seeds of the parents and F1 were identified, and at least 25 seeds of each F2 population were identified, and the susceptible control TN18 was randomly sown and labeled. The greenhouse conditions were controlled at 18-20°C, relative humidity 80%, and photoperiod 14 h light / 10 h dark. At the one-leaf stage, the powdery mildew strain E09 was inoculated by sweeping method. After 10-14 days, when the susceptible control TN18 was fully diseased, the phenotype was investigated. The reaction type (Infection type, IT) was recorded according to the 0-4 level standard. The resistance grade was divided: 0-2 level was resistant type, and 3-4 level was susceptible type.
[0026] The investigation results showed that CWI77849 showed high resistance to powdery mildew strain E09 (IT=0), LDN showed high susceptibility (IT=4), and the F1 plants showed resistance (IT was 0-1), indicating that CWI77849 carried a dominant resistance gene; the F2 population of the combination was identified for resistance, and the results showed that the resistance-susceptibility segregation ratio was 139:53, and the chi-square test was consistent with the segregation ratio of single dominant gene 3:1 (χ 2 =0.69, P =0.405). In summary, the resistance of CWI77849 to powdery mildew strain E09 is controlled by a single dominant gene, and the powdery mildew resistance gene is named PmCWI77849.
[0027] 4. Fine mapping of PmCWI77849 According to the phenotypic identification results, 10 pure resistant families and 10 pure susceptible families were selected to construct the resistant pool and the susceptible pool. Using 184 pairs of molecular markers evenly distributed in the whole genome, polymorphism detection was performed on the cultivated emmer wheat CWI77849, the hard wheat LDN, and the resistant pool and the susceptible pool. Seventeen markers exhibited consistent polymorphism in the resistant and susceptible parents and pools. Subsequently, these markers were used to genotype the 192 F2 populations of CWI77849 x LDN, and PmCWI77849 was preliminarily mapped to the interval of 708.71-709.63 Mb on the wheat 4AL chromosome.
[0028] 5. Development of molecular markers closely linked to PmCWI77849 According to the sequence information of the hard wheat reference genome in the candidate interval 708.71-709.63 Mb, the Wekits software was used to design a SSR marker, and the F2 population of CWI77849xLDN was genotyped, and the INDEL marker YTUSSR-86 closely linked to the gene PmCWI77849 was obtained, with a genetic distance of only 0.3 cM.

[0032] The electrophoretic separation procedure of the amplification product is: the suitable electrophoretic separation procedure of the amplification product of the molecular marker is: using 8% non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel for electrophoresis, mixing the amplification product and 2.5 μL 10xLoading Buffer, taking 1.2 μL of the mixture for spotting, and electrophoresis at 220 V constant voltage for 1.5 h, taking silver nitrate staining and taking pictures.
