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, developing a molecular marker closely linked to PmCWI77849 and applying it to the molecular marker-assisted selection breeding of the gene has extremely important significance for breeding new wheat varieties resistant to powdery mildew and realizing effective prevention and control of the disease.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0030] 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 in the examples below were carried out in accordance with conventional methods. The experimental materials, reagents, etc. used in the examples were obtained from commercial sources unless otherwise indicated.
[0031] Example 1 Development of molecular marker YTUSSR-86 primer for wheat powdery mildew resistance gene PmCW77849
[0032] 1. Materials
[0033] The resistant parent was the cultivated two-grained wheat CWI77849, and the susceptible parent was the hard-grained wheat LDN. CWI77849 and LDN were hybridized, and the obtained F1 was selfed to obtain an F2 population.
[0034] 2. Extraction of wheat genomic DNA
[0035] The CTAB method was used to extract the wheat genomic DNA, and the process was as follows:
[0036] (1) Fresh young leaves of the wheat to be tested were taken, rapidly ground into powder after quick freezing in liquid nitrogen, and loaded into a 2 mL EP tube;
[0037] (2) 600-800 μL of CTAB extraction solution was added, and the mixture was incubated at 65°C for 1 h, with inversion and mixing every ten minutes;
[0038] (3) An equal volume of chloroform-isoamyl alcohol (24:1, v / v) was added, and the mixture was mixed on a shaker for 30 min;
[0039] (4) The mixture was centrifuged at 8000 rpm / min at room temperature for 10 min, and 400 μL of supernatant was transferred to a 1.5 mL EP tube, 3 volumes of pre-cooled 95% ethanol was added, mixed, and precipitated at -20°C for 0.5 h;
[0040] (5) The mixture was centrifuged at 12000 rpm / min at room temperature for 10 min, and the supernatant was discarded. 800 μL of 75% ethanol was added and washed 3 times;
[0041] (6) The precipitate was air-dried, and 50 μL of 1×TE buffer (100 mM Tris-Hcl, 10 mM EDTA, pH =8.0) or ddH2O was added for dissolution.
[0042] (7) The DNA storage solution was diluted with sterile deionized water to 50 ng / μL as a working solution for standby use.
[0043] 3. Identification of wheat seedling powdery mildew resistance and genetic analysis of resistance
[0044] Wheat seedling resistance to powdery mildew was identified in a greenhouse. The resistant parent CWI77849, the susceptible parent LDN, the F1 hybrid, and the F2 population were planted in 128-hole plug trays (3.2 x 3.2 x 4.2 cm). The parents and F1 were identified with at least 20 seeds each, and the F2 population was identified with at least 25 seeds each. The susceptible control TN18 was randomly sown and labeled. The greenhouse conditions were controlled at 18-20°C, 80% relative humidity, and a photoperiod of 14 h light / 10 h darkness. At the one-leaf stage, the plants were inoculated with the powdery mildew strain E09 using the sweeping method. After 10-14 days, when the susceptible control TN18 was fully diseased, the phenotype was investigated. The infection type (IT) was recorded according to the 0-4 scale. The resistance grade was divided as follows: 0-2 grade for resistant type, and 3-4 grade for susceptible type.
[0045] The results showed that CWI77849 was highly resistant to powdery mildew strain E09 (IT=0), LDN was highly susceptible (IT=4), and the F1 plants were all resistant (IT=0-1), indicating that CWI77849 carried a dominant resistance gene. The F2 population of this combination was identified for resistance, and the results showed that the resistant to susceptible segregation ratio was 139:53, which was consistent with the segregation ratio of 3:1 (χ 2 =0.69, P =0.405) of a single dominant gene. In summary, the resistance of CWI77849 to powdery mildew strain E09 is controlled by a single dominant gene, which is named PmCWI77849.
[0046] 4. Fine mapping of PmCWI77849
[0047] 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 throughout the genome, polymorphism detection was performed on the cultivated emmer wheat CWI77849, the durum wheat LDN, and the resistant and susceptible pools. Seventeen markers exhibited consistent polymorphism in the resistant and susceptible parents and pools. These markers were then 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 wheat chromosome 4AL.
[0048] 5. Development of molecular markers closely linked to PmCWI77849
[0049] 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.

[0054] The suitable PCR amplification procedure for the marker is: 95℃ pre-denaturation for 5 min; 95℃ denaturation for 30 s; 55℃ annealing for 30 s; 72℃ extension for 40 s, 35 cycles; 72℃ extension for 10 min; 4℃ storage.
[0055] 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 under the condition of 220 V constant voltage for 1.5 h, taking silver nitrate staining and photographing. If a specific band of 151 bp can be amplified, it indicates that the wheat germplasm to be tested contains the wheat powdery mildew resistance gene PmCWI77849, otherwise, the wheat germplasm to be tested does not contain the wheat powdery mildew resistance gene PmCWI77849.
[0056] The detection results of the molecular marker are shown in Figure 1 . Among them Figure 1 are the detection results of the molecular marker YTUSSR-86 for the resistant landrace wheat CWI77849 and the susceptible hard wheat LDN and the segregation population of the hybrid offspring of the two. In the figure, M: pUC19 MspI; 1: CWI77849 (resistant parent); 2: LDN (susceptible parent); 3-17: F2 population of CWI77849 x LDN, wherein 3-7: homozygous resistant family, 8-12: resistant-susceptible segregating family, 13-17: homozygous susceptible family; white arrow is specific band of PmCWI77849. The amplification result shows that the marker YTUSSR-86 amplifies a specific band of 151 bp in the resistant parent CWI77849 and the resistant family, and does not amplify the specific band in the susceptible parent LDN and the susceptible family.
