[0036] Example 1: Obtaining molecular markers related to drought resistance in wheat

[0037] I. Obtaining the TaTGAL6-2A gene polymorphism site

[0038] 1. Based on the characteristics of the wheat TaTGAL6-2A genomic DNA sequence, specific primers were designed for its genome. The primer sequences are as follows:

[0039] TaTGAL6-2A-Primer-F (forward primer): 5′-CCTAGTACCCACGCACGTCC-3′ (SEQ ID No. 4 in the sequence listing);

[0040] TaTGAL6-2A-Primer-R (reverse primer): 5′-ATGTATTTACACATCCTCGATCCCT-3′ (SEQ ID No. 5 in the sequence listing).

[0041] The recognition sequences of TaTGAL6-2A-Primer-F and TaTGAL6-2A-Primer-R are located in the second intron and downstream of the TaTGAL6-2A gene, respectively.

[0042] 2. Using genomic DNA from 32 wheat materials (all from the National Germplasm Bank) as templates, PCR amplification was performed using the primers from step 1 to obtain PCR amplification products. The obtained PCR amplification products were then sequenced and their sequences were compared.

[0043] The PCR amplification system used (20 μL) consisted of: 12.2 μL ddH2O, 4.0 μL 5×PCR buffer, 0.4 μL each of forward primer (10 μmol / L) and reverse primer (10 μmol / L), 1.6 μL dNTPs (2.5 mmol / L), 0.4 μL transfastpfu enzyme (5 U), and 1 μL template DNA (20 ng / μL). Both the 5×PCR buffer and transfastpfu enzyme (5 U) were products of Beijing TransGen Biotech Co., Ltd.

[0044] The PCR amplification conditions were: 95℃ for 5 min; 95℃ for 30 s, 60℃ for 30 s, 72℃ for 45 s, for 35 cycles; 72℃ for 10 min, and stored at 4℃.

[0045] Sequence analysis revealed a G and A polymorphism (R represents G or A) at position 4124 of the TaTGAL6-2A genomic DNA (SEQ ID No. 1), which was denoted as the molecular marker TaTGAL6-2A-4124.

[0046] The names of the 32 wheat materials used are as follows: PANDAS, An85zhong124-1, Yanzhan No.1, Bawangbian, Beijing No.10, Beijing No.14, Cangzhou Wheat, Changwu 131, Chang 6878, Dali No.1, DanR8093, Fengkang 13, Jimai 41, Jimai No.6, Jin 2148-7, Jinghe 8922, Linkang 5108, Baiqi Wheat, Changle No.5, Hongheshang, Beijing 8686, 04-044, 04-030, Chun 229th-25, Zigan Baimangxian, Jingpin No.10, Chun 04 9th-5-1, Chun 45 9th-50-1, Neixiang 188, Jing 411, China Spring, and White Rough Wheat.

[0047] II. Detection of Molecular Markers

[0048] 1. For the molecular marker at position 4124 of the TaTGAL6-2A gene shown in SEQ ID No. 1 of the sequence listing, design primers to detect this marker. The primer sequences are as follows:

[0049] TaTGAL6-2A-Primer-Sa1I-F (forward primer): 5′-GTGGCTGGCACGCAGATC-3′ (SEQ ID No. 2);

[0050] TaTGAL6-2A-Primer-Sa1I-R (forward primer): 5′-CCGACGAGGCCCTTGAGCTTGTCGA-3′ (SEQ ID No. 3).

[0051] 2. The steps for detecting the molecular markers of the wheat sample using the primers from step 1 are as follows:

[0052] Using the wheat genomic DNA to be tested as a template, PCR amplification was performed using the primers from step 1, yielding PCR amplification product A. The nucleotide sequence of PCR amplification product A is from position 3929 to 4149 of SEQ ID No. 1.

[0053] The PCR amplification system (10 μL) consisted of: 3.6 μL ddH2O, 0.2 μL each of forward primer (10 μmol / L) and reverse primer (10 μmol / L), 5 μL 2×PCR Mix, and 1 μL template DNA (20 ng / μL). The 2×PCR Mix was a product of Zhuangmeng Biotechnology Co., Ltd., catalog number ZT201A.

[0054] The PCR amplification conditions were: 95℃ for 5 min; 95℃ for 30 s, 60℃ for 30 s, 72℃ for 20 s, for 35 cycles; 72℃ for 10 min, and stored at 4℃.

[0055] The PCR amplification product A obtained in step 1 was digested with the restriction endonuclease Sa1I to obtain digested product B. The electrophoretic detection results of part of the digested product B are as follows: Figure 1 As shown. If enzyme digestion product B contains two DNA fragments of 196 bp and 25 bp in size and does not contain a DNA fragment of 221 bp, it indicates that the nucleotide corresponding to position 4124 of SEQ ID No. 1 in the sequence listing of the wheat genomic DNA being tested is G, and the wheat being tested is homozygous. If enzyme digestion product B contains one DNA fragment of 221 bp in size and does not contain the DNA fragments of 196 bp and 25 bp, it indicates that the nucleotide corresponding to position 4124 of SEQ ID No. 1 in the sequence listing of the wheat genomic DNA being tested is A, and the wheat being tested is homozygous. If enzyme digestion product B contains three DNA fragments of 196 bp, 25 bp, and 221 bp in size, it indicates that the nucleotides corresponding to position 4124 of SEQ ID No. 1 in the sequence listing of the wheat genomic DNA being tested are G and A, and the wheat being tested is heterozygous.

[0056] Example 2: Correlation analysis between wheat molecular markers and drought resistance

[0057] The molecular markers from Example 1 were used to genotype the natural population (Table 1), and the correlation between the molecular markers and drought resistance was analyzed. The specific steps are as follows:

[0058] 1. Detection of molecular markers

[0059] In a natural population of 323 hexaploid wheat samples, each wheat variety was selected as the test wheat and its molecular markers were detected according to step two of Example 1. The nucleotide corresponding to position 4124 of SEQ ID No. 1 in the sequence listing was determined for each individual wheat sample. All wheat varieties in the natural population were sourced from the National Germplasm Resource Bank.

[0060] The detection results of the molecular markers are shown in Table 1. "A" indicates a homozygous form where the nucleotide at position 4124 of SEQ ID No. 1 in the sequence listing is A; "G" indicates a homozygous form where the nucleotide at position 4124 of SEQ ID No. 1 in the sequence listing is G; and "-" indicates a heterozygous form where the nucleotide at position 4124 of SEQ ID No. 1 in the sequence listing is both A and G. Then, the genomic DNA of each wheat variety was amplified and sequenced using the primer pairs TaTGAL6-2A-Primer-Sa1I-F and TaTGAL6-2A-Primer-Sa1I-R from Example 1. The amplification system and conditions were the same as in Example 1. The results showed that the sequences of the PCR products of each wheat variety were positions 3929 to 4149 of SEQ ID No. 1.

[0066]

[0067] 2. Correlation analysis between molecular markers and drought resistance

[0068] Seeds from natural populations of different wheat varieties were placed in 60mm×90mm petri dishes. After water treatment for 1 day, they were transplanted into 96-well black plastic boxes sterilized with 1% hydrogen peroxide. Two treatment conditions were set up: PEG treatment and water treatment. Each black plastic box had 12 wells and 8 rows, with 12 seeds per row. There were 3 replicates. After 3 days of treatment under different conditions, the root length of different wheat varieties was measured, and the average root length drought resistance coefficient of each replicate was calculated.

[0069] The PEG treatment involved placing the germinated wheat in a 20% (by mass) PEG aqueous solution; the control involved placing the germinated wheat in water.

[0070] Root length drought resistance coefficient = root length under PEG treatment / root length under control.

[0071] The molecular marker (i.e., the nucleotide at position 4124 of SEQ ID No. 1) in Example 1 was correlated with the root length drought resistance coefficient using the GLM model in Tassel 5.0 software.

[0072] The statistical results of drought resistance coefficients for various wheat root lengths are shown in Table 2 and... Figure 2 The root length drought resistance coefficient of homozygous wheat with position A at SEQ ID No. 1 in the genome is significantly greater than that of homozygous wheat with position G at the same site. This indicates that the molecular markers of the present invention are related to wheat drought resistance and can be used to breed drought-resistant wheat varieties.

[0075] In Table 2, * indicates a p-value < 0.05 for significance analysis.

[0076] The present invention has been described in detail above. For those skilled in the art, the invention can be practiced in a wide range of ways with equivalent parameters, concentrations, and conditions without departing from its spirit and scope, and without requiring unnecessary experiments. Although specific embodiments have been given, it should be understood that further modifications can be made to the invention.
