Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of identification of varietal resources and innovation of germplasm in bio-agriculture, specifically to a molecular marker, primer set, reagent kit, and application for identifying the superior Camellia oleifera variety 'Ganxing 48'. Background Technology
[0002] Camellia oleifera is a unique woody oilseed tree species in my country, integrating ecological, economic, and social benefits. With a cultivation history of 2300 years, it is considered one of the world's "four major woody oilseed plants," along with olive, oil palm, and coconut. Camellia oil is highly nutritious, with an unsaturated fatty acid content as high as 90%, and is rich in squalene, tocopherol, and other trace substances beneficial to human health. It possesses various medicinal properties and can effectively prevent various cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and coronary heart disease. It is popularly known as "health oil," "longevity oil," and "postpartum oil," and is recognized worldwide as one of the healthiest edible oils.
[0003] Camellia oleifera, a unique woody oilseed tree species in my country, possesses the unique advantages and development potential of not competing with farmland or people for food. Making full use of barren hills and wastelands for Camellia oleifera planting, strengthening the transformation of existing low-yield and inefficient Camellia oleifera forests, and significantly increasing camellia oil production can effectively alleviate the contradiction between oilseed supply and demand and import pressure, enhance my country's food security capacity, and is an important measure to ensure national food and oil security.
[0004] Currently, most newly planted camellia oleifera forests are of the main varieties recommended by the state. However, the phenotypic differences among the main camellia oleifera varieties are small, making it difficult to effectively identify and distinguish them based on phenotypic alone. This poses challenges to variety identification and protection management. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct variety identification research on the existing main cultivated camellia oleifera varieties as soon as possible and develop a set of rapid technical measures for variety testing, which can better solve this problem in production.
[0005] Microsatellites (SSRs), as codominant molecular markers, are stable and efficient, enabling rapid and accurate analysis of allele segregation. They are one of the important molecular markers in molecular biology research and are often used in research such as forest tree germplasm identification.
[0006] 'Ganxing 48' is a high-quality camellia oleifera variety that has been promoted and applied in production. It has the characteristics of high oil content and strong resistance. However, it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity of the variety by its morphological characteristics during the seedling stage, which makes it difficult to effectively identify and supervise the variety. This has brought difficulties to the promotion of the variety. Therefore, it is necessary to find a fast, convenient and effective identification method. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The first objective of this invention is to provide an SSR molecular marker for identifying the superior Camellia oleifera variety 'Ganxing 48', wherein the repeating motif of the SSR molecular marker is (GCGGAG)n, where n≥1, the right-hand sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.7, and the left-hand sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.8.

Detailed Implementation
[0028] The following embodiments are further illustrations of the present invention, but not limitations thereof.
[0029] Example 1:
[0030] 300 pairs of SSR primer sequences were developed from Camellia oleifera transcriptome data. Primers with clear SSR electrophoresis bands were selected from these primers. SSR-Seq technology was then used to detect SSR sites in Camellia oleifera varieties. The marker est-SSR25 (primer_F: 5'-CTCGGCCTCCGTGATTAT-3', primer_R: 5'-CTCTTTCCCTCCAACCTTC-3') was selected, which can amplify four specific bands for the superior Camellia oleifera variety 'Ganxing 48'. The band sizes are 161bp, 167bp, 179bp and 185bp, respectively, and can be used for rapid identification and detection of the superior Camellia oleifera variety 'Ganxing 48'.
[0031] Among them, 161bp is: CTCGGCCTCCGTGATTATGCGATCGCGACATTCGCGCTCGAATTTCT CCAGCTCTTCGGTCTGGAGAAGAAAAGTTGAAGACTTTGTCTTCGTCGTCGTTAGTG ATCAATTGAGGCGGAGGAGCGGAGGTGGAGGCGGAGGAAGGTTGGAGGGAAAGAG (SEQ ID NO. 3);

[0033] 179 bp is: CTCGGCCTCCGTGATTATGCGATCGCGACATTCGCGCTCGAATTTCTCCA GCTCTTCGGTCTGGAGAGAAGAAAAGTTGAAGACTTTGTCTTCGTCGTCGTTAGTGATC AATTGAGGCGGAGGAGCGGAGGTGGAGGCGGAGGCGGAGGCGGAGGCGGAGGAAG GTTGGAGGGAAAGAG (SEQ ID NO.5);
[0034] 185 bp is: CTCGGCCTCCGTGATTATGCGATCGCGACATTCGCGCTCGAATTTCTCCA GCTCTTCGGTCTGGAGAGAAGAAAAGTTGAAGACTTTGTCTTCGTCGTCGTTAGTGATC AATTGAGGCGGAGGAGCGGAGGTGGAGGCGGAGGCGGAGGCGGAGGCGGAGGCG GAGGAAGGTTGGAGGGAAAGAG (SEQ ID NO.6).
[0035] est-SSR25 (primer_F: 5'-CTCGGCCTCCGTGATTAT-3', primer_R: 5'-CTCTTTCCCTCCAACCTTC-3') was further validated using 109 Camellia oleifera varieties (Table 1). Complete, uncontaminated genomic DNA was extracted from the 109 Camellia oleifera varieties using a kit (TIANG EN, catalog number: DP360), and the genomic DNA was diluted to 20 ng / μL. The target region was amplified by multiplex PCR. The total reaction system for the sample multiplex PCR was as follows: 10×buffer (TaKaRa, catalog number: R007WZ) 1 μL, dNTP (2.5 mM) 1.2 μL, MgCl2 (25 mM) 0.6 μL, primer (1 μM) 1 μL, HotTaq 5 U / μL (Takara, catalog number: R007WZ) 0.07 μL, sample DNA 1 μL, ddH2O 5.13 μL, total volume 10 μL. The PCR program was as follows: 95℃ for 2 min; denaturation at 95℃ for 20 s, annealing at 63℃~57.5℃ (temperature decreased by 0.5℃ per cycle) for 40 s, extension at 72℃ for 1 min, 11 cycles; denaturation at 95℃ for 20 s, annealing at 65℃ for 30 s, extension at 72℃ for 1 min, 24 cycles; hold at 72℃ for 2 min; the reaction products were stored at 4℃. After equal mixing of the PCR products, tag sequences were added, and after quantitative mixing of the sample library, next-generation sequencing was performed. The motif (SSR core unit) of each read was identified based on the sequencing data, and the number of reads corresponding to different repeat numbers of the motif was counted. Based on the read count information, the geom_density tool of ggplot was used to plot the density distribution. The results are shown in Table 1 and... Figure 1-4 As shown, 'Ganxing 48' (S56) amplified four specific bands with sizes of 161bp, 167bp, 179bp and 185bp, respectively, while other varieties did not show this result.
