[0038] The PCR amplification product was subjected to fluorescence intensity scanning detection by using a high-throughput scanner, and genotyping was performed by using the software SNPviewer, which is as follows:

[0039] If the fluorescence signal of the PCR amplification product of the to-be-tested wheat is red, the genotype of the to-be-tested wheat TaUFD1-3B gene at the SNP40 locus is GG, the haplotype is TaUFD1-3B-Hapl I, and the nucleotide sequence of the corresponding PCR amplification product is shown in SEQ ID NO: 6;

[0040] If the fluorescence signal of the PCR amplification product of the to-be-tested wheat is blue, the genotype of the to-be-tested wheat TaUFD1-3B gene at the SNP40 locus is AA, the haplotype is TaUFD1-3B-Hapl II, and the nucleotide sequence of the corresponding PCR amplification product is shown in SEQ ID NO: 7.

[0041] The haplotype typing results of the TaUFD1-3B gene of 239 wheat natural population materials are shown in Table 1-1, Table 1-2, Table 1-3, Table 1-4, Table 1-5 and Table 1-6, and the fluorescence scanning detection results of KASP markers of part of the wheat natural population materials are shown in Table 1-7, Table 1-8, Table 1-9, Table 1-10 and Table 1-11.

[0054] Four, Correlation analysis of wheat TaUFD1-3B gene haplotype and yield traits

[0055] The haplotype typing results of 239 wheat natural population materials TaUFD1-3B gene in Table 1-1, Table 1-2, Table 1-3, Table 1-4, Table 1-5 and Table 1-6 were correlated with the phenotypic data of wheat flag leaf length and thousand kernel weight in 5 environments (2021 Yantai Lai Mountain, 2021 Yantai Zhifu, 2021 Shijiazhuang Luancheng, 2023 Yantai Lai Mountain, 2023 Yantai Zhifu) in two years. The Best Linear Unbiased Estimator (BLUE) of wheat flag leaf length and thousand kernel weight in 5 environments was calculated by R language lme4 package.

[0056] The data were statistically analyzed by Excel software, and Student's t-test was used for significance analysis. The results of multi-environment flag leaf length correlation analysis of wheat TaUFD1-3B gene are shown in Table 2 and Figure 3 , and the results of thousand kernel weight correlation analysis are shown in Table 3 and Figure 4 .

[0058]

[0059] Note: ** indicates P<0.01.

[0060] Table 3 Correlation analysis results of wheat TaUFD1-3B gene multi-environment thousand kernel weight

[0061]

[0062] Note: ** indicates P<0.01.

[0063] Correlation analysis showed that compared with TaUFD1-3B-Hapl II type (the genotype of TaUFD1-3B gene at SNP 40 site is AA), the flag leaf length of TaUFD1-3B-Hapl I type (the genotype of TaUFD1-3B gene at SNP 40 site is GG) wheat was significantly reduced by 5.29-11.46% (shorter flag leaf length can reduce organic matter consumption, thereby increasing organic matter accumulation, thereby achieving the effect of increasing yield), and the thousand kernel weight was significantly increased by 4.98-10.04%.

[0064] The above results show that the two haplotypes of the wheat TaUFD1-3B gene are significantly associated with the flag leaf length and the thousand-grain weight of wheat, and the wheat of the TaUFD1-3B-Hapll type has higher single-plant yield by comprehensively considering the flag leaf length and the thousand-grain weight, and the TaUFD1-3B-Hapll type is an excellent haplotype of the wheat TaUFD1-3B gene and has potential value in the breeding of high-yield varieties.

[0065] The KASP marker developed by the present application for the SNP 40 site of the wheat TaUFD1-3B gene can be used to identify the flag leaf length and the thousand-grain weight of wheat and has certain breeding application potential.

[0066] It should be noted that the above examples are only examples for clearly illustrating the present application, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present application. Based on the above description, other different forms of changes or variations can also be made by those of ordinary skill in the art. Here, all the embodiments cannot be exhausted.
