Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application mainly relates to the technical field of Chrysanthemum cinerariafium identification, and particularly to an ITS marker primer for Chrysanthemum cinerariafium and application thereof in identification of Chrysanthemum cinerariafium. BACKGROUND

[0002] Chrysanthemum cinerariafium is the core raw material for extracting natural chrysanthemum cinerariafium ester, which is widely used in organic agriculture, household insect killing and storage protection fields. The global annual demand continues to grow, and Yunnan, Sichuan and other places in China have formed large-scale planting. However, Chrysanthemum cinerariafium dry flowers, leaves and deep processing powders are easily confused with Chrysanthemum morifolium, Hemerocallis citrina, Chrysanthemum coronarium, Chrysanthemum xanthina and other related Asteraceae plants in the circulation link, which leads to insufficient content of effective components, decreased efficacy, and seriously affects brand credibility and industrial benefits.

[0003] At present, the industry mainly relies on morphological characteristics or HPLC chemical fingerprints for identification. The morphological method is greatly influenced by individual development stage, drying process and observer experience, and the determination results of different personnel for the same batch of samples are significantly different; although HPLC can quantitatively determine chrysanthemum cinerariafium ester, the equipment is expensive, the pretreatment is complex, and the detection period is long, which cannot meet the rapid screening demand in the acquisition site. In addition, the related species often contain similar secondary metabolites, and the chemical method is also prone to false positives. The lack of a simple, specific and standardized molecular identification method has become a technical bottleneck restricting the healthy development of the Chrysanthemum cinerariafium industry.

[0004] The present application aims at the above-mentioned defects, and provides a specific marker primer based on the ITS sequence of Chrysanthemum cinerariafium and a rapid PCR detection system thereof, so as to solve the technical problem that Chrysanthemum cinerariafium cannot be quickly and accurately distinguished from related Asteraceae adulterants on site. SUMMARY

[0005] Based on this, the purpose of the present application is to provide an ITS marker primer for Chrysanthemum cinerariafium and application thereof in identification of Chrysanthemum cinerariafium, so as to solve the technical problems proposed in the background.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides the following technical scheme: an ITS marker primer for Chrysanthemum cinerariafium, comprising a primer pair, wherein the primer pair comprises: an upstream primer Tco-ITS1-F, the nucleotide sequence of which is shown in SEQ ID NO: 1; and a downstream primer Tco-ITS1-R, the nucleotide sequence of which is shown in SEQ ID NO: 2.

[0007] According to one embodiment of the present application, the SEQ ID NO: 1 is: CGTCGAGTGGATTAAGCACT; and the SEQ ID NO: 2 is: CCTTGCGACTAGCACAGAAC.

[0008] According to one embodiment of the present application, the primer pair is used for specifically amplifying the ITS fragment with a length of about 482 bp in the pyrethrum genome by PCR, and the nucleotide sequence of the fragment is shown as SEQ ID NO: 3.

[0009] According to the technical scheme of the pyrethrum ITS marker primer above, the present application further provides application of the pyrethrum ITS marker primer in identifying pyrethrum, which comprises the following steps: step one, extracting total DNA of a sample to be tested; step two, using the DNA as a template and performing PCR amplification by using the primer pair; and step three, if a single target band with a length of about 482 bp appears in the amplification product, then it is determined that the sample to be tested is pyrethrum; and if no such band appears, then it is determined that the sample to be tested is not pyrethrum.

[0010] According to one embodiment of the present application, the sample to be tested is a leaf, a flower or a powder of a chrysanthemum plant.

[0011] According to one embodiment of the present application, the reaction system of the PCR amplification is as follows: 2x Accurate Taq Master Mix 25 μL, 10 μM forward primer 1 μL, 10 μM reverse primer 1 μL, DNA template 1 μL and sterile water 22 μL.

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present application, the PCR amplification procedure is as follows: pre-denaturation at 94℃ for 2 min; denaturation at 98℃ for 10 s, annealing at 55℃ for 30 s, extension at 72℃ for 1 min, for a total of 34 cycles; and final extension at 72℃ for 2 min.

[0013] According to the technical scheme of the pyrethrum ITS marker primer above, the present application further provides a PCR detection kit for identifying pyrethrum, wherein the kit comprises a primer pair and conventional reagents required for PCR reaction.

[0014] According to one embodiment of the present application, the kit further comprises pyrethrum positive control DNA.

[0015] According to one embodiment of the present application, the kit further comprises one or more of buffers, dNTPs and Taq enzyme required for PCR reaction.

[0016] In summary, the present application mainly has the following beneficial effects: The technical scheme in the present application solves the core pain points of strong subjectivity, poor reproducibility and easy environmental influence in the traditional morphological identification of pyrethrum; Firstly, the primer pair consisting of SEQ ID NO: 1 and SEQ ID NO: 2 is 3' end GC lock, no hairpin, no mismatch, Tm value 55-65 DEG C, GC content 45-55 %, which ensures the amplification efficiency and stability; repeated verification of 100 field samples, sharp band, no tailing, batch CV < 5 %, which lays a repeatable and standardized molecular basis for subsequent detection; Secondly, the primer pair only presents single specific amplification to about 482bp ITS fragment of Pyrethrum, and has no cross with close relatives such as Chirita fortunei, Pyrethrum roseum and Pyrethrum roseum, which directly solves the industry problem of 'close chrysanthemum adulteration difficult to distinguish', and provides an objective and unique molecular identity card for market supervision.

[0017] The technical solution in the application completely replaces the ambiguous morphological experience with a high-specificity, high-stability and low-cost molecular tool, which not only blocks the adulteration loophole, but also improves the overall efficiency and reputation of the industry chain, and has the dual advantages of scientific rigor and industrial landing.
