Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of molecular genetic breeding technology, specifically to an SNP molecular marker related to the early flowering trait of broad beans and its application. Background Technology

[0002] broad bean( Vicia faba L. As an important economic crop in my country, the timing of its flowering directly determines the product's market availability and economic benefits. Early-flowering varieties can significantly shorten the growth cycle, allowing the product to be marketed earlier. Traditional breeding methods have low efficiency in selecting flowering traits, making it urgent to develop a reliable molecular marker-assisted breeding system.

[0003] Currently, research on the molecular regulatory mechanisms of broad bean flowering time is relatively lagging, especially the discovery and identification of molecular markers based on vernalization-related genes.

[0004] Large-scale population resequencing of the genome is costly, and there are currently no relevant reports both domestically and internationally. Therefore, how to develop efficient molecular markers using existing methods has become a key focus of broad bean genetic research. This invention utilizes transcriptome sequencing technology as a foundation, and through data analysis, key gene mining and validation, provides an efficient means to discover vernalization-related genes in broad beans. By comparing the differences in gene expression before and after vernalization treatment in two different broad bean varieties, key genes closely related to the vernalization pathway can be identified. Notably, intronless genes, due to their simple structure and lack of RNA splicing requirements, can rapidly respond to environmental signals and regulate flowering time, making them ideal targets for developing molecular markers. Therefore, this invention is based on transcriptome data of broad beans before and after vernalization. It mines differentially expressed intronless genes related to vernalization and develops KASP molecular markers from these differentially expressed genes for early-maturing broad bean breeding.

[0005] Therefore, transcriptome data mining can quickly respond to environmental signals and vernalization-related intronless genes, and use these genes to develop markers related to early flowering traits, which is of great significance for screening early-maturing broad bean varieties.

The flowering time of the chickpea individual with genotype CC is earlier, and the flowering time of the chickpea individual with genotype TT is later.

[0013] Further, the program of the fluorescent PCR detection comprises: pre-denaturation at 4 ℃ for 15 min, 1 cycle; denaturation at 94 ℃ for 20 s, annealing at 57 ℃ for 60 s, 10 cycles, wherein the annealing temperature decreases by 0.8 ℃ for each cycle; denaturation at 94 ℃ for 20 s, annealing at 55 ℃ for 60 s, 26 cycles; and extension at 30 ℃ for 60 s.

[0014] Further, the fluorescent signal of the fluorescent PCR detection is blue, and the genotype is CC; and the fluorescent signal is red, and the genotype is TT.

[0015] In a fifth aspect, the present application provides a method for breeding an early-maturing chickpea strain, extracting the genomic DNA of the chickpea to be detected, detecting the genotype of the SNP molecular marker by using the primer, and selecting the chickpea individual with genotype CC for breeding.

[0016] In a sixth aspect, the present application provides the SNP molecular marker for identifying the early flowering trait of chickpea or screening the early-maturing chickpea strain.

[0017] In a seventh aspect, the present application provides the primer or the kit for preparing a reagent for identifying the early flowering trait of chickpea or screening the early-maturing chickpea strain.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The present application will be further described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments.

[0025] It should be noted that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present application, but not to limit the present application, and simple improvements of the present method under the concept of the present application all belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0026] Example 1 Transcriptome analysis was used to identify intronless differentially expressed genes significantly associated with vernalization in broad beans. Experimental materials: Two broad bean varieties, Yun Dou 1183 and Hai Qing No. 1, provided by the Institute of Economic Crops, Jiangsu Academy of Agricultural Sciences, were used as experimental materials. The treatments were as follows, and the experiment was conducted in the greenhouse of the Institute of Economic Crops, Jiangsu Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Broad beans of the same variety were divided into two groups. One group was treated with a low temperature of 4℃ for 14 days during the seed germination stage, while the other group was not treated with low temperature and served as a control. Figure 1 To ensure consistent growth in both groups, flowers were harvested from flowering varieties, and leaves from non-flowering varieties were harvested at the same time. Each treatment was replicated three times, and the transcriptomes were analyzed.

[0027] Experimental results: Transcriptome analysis revealed that genes with pvalue < 0.05 and |log2 FC| > 1 were differentially expressed genes without introns. Figure 2 The two varieties share a total of 58 intronless differential genes. Figure 3 C. This study analyzed the biological processes involved by these genes, which are mainly involved in tissue development (3A). GO enrichment analysis showed that these genes are mainly involved in the biosynthesis of flavonoids and flavonols, folic acid synthesis, and arginine and proline metabolism (see [reference needed]). Figure 3 B.

[0028] Example 2 VfERF017 Protein network with vernalization genes CBFs Experimental materials: BLAST plugin in Tbtools, fava bean proteome data, Arabidopsis thaliana proteome data (TAIR11). LUC experimental analysis was performed, and nLUC, cLUC, and nLUC- were analyzed. VfERF017 The carrier and cLUC-CBF are transferred into tobacco leaves. For predicted... VfERF017 The protein network of vernalization gene CBFs was validated.

[0029] Experimental results: Fifty-eight intronless differentially expressed genes were compared with the Arabidopsis protein database (TAIR11) using BLAST and relevant literature was consulted. In Arabidopsis, the gene AT1G46768, which is closely related to vernalization regulation of flowering, was identified. It belongs to the AP2 / ERF transcription factor family. Its homolog in broad bean is Vfaba.Tiffany.R1.1g333280. VfERF017 The changes in FPKM values ​​of other 57 co-occurring intronless differentially expressed genes before and after vernalization treatment in transcriptome analysis are as follows: Figure 4 As shown in Figure A, the results were verified by RT-PCR experiments. VfERF017 Significant changes in expression before and after spring flowering, such as Figure 4 B. Simultaneously analyzedVfERF017 Participating protein networks, such as Figure 4 As shown in C VfERF017 and CBF1 and CBF4 interact significantly. This was verified by LUC experiments. VfERF017 and The interaction relationships of CBF4, such as Figure 4 D, and VfERF017 and No CBF1 interaction signal was detected.

[0030] Example 3 Development of KASP molecular markers associated with early flowering trait in broad bean Based on the SNP variant information from the above transcriptome analysis, In VfERF017 A variant site exists on the exon (360 bp from the starter). Its sequence in the genome (located at position 42 as shown in SEQ ID NO.1) was used to design primers for the SNP variant site using PrimerBlast from NCBI. These primers include forward primer F1, forward primer F2, and reverse primer R. F1 and F2 contain FAM and HEX fluorescent linker sequences (the bolded parts in the sequences), respectively. The specific sequences are as follows: SEQ ID NO. 1: CGGATCCGGGTCAACCCGATAATAATTTGGTGGAGTCTCCTTCTGAGGGAACTGCATTGTTGTTGCCTATGGAATCGGAATCACTGTCTCCGGCGGTTTCG.

[0031] Label the forward primer F1, SEQ ID NO.2: 5'- GAAGGTGACCAAGTTCATGCTCGATAATAATTTGGTGGAGTCTCCTT - 3'.

[0032] Label the forward primer F2, SEQ ID NO.3: 5'- GAAGGTCGGAGTCAACGGATTCGATAATAATTTGGTGGAGTCTCCTC - 3'.

[0033] The reverse primer R is labeled, SEQ ID NO.4: 5'- GATTCCGATTCCATAGGCAAC-3'.

[0034] Example 4 Application of KASP molecular markers in the identification of alleles related to early flowering traits in broad beans Experimental materials: 89 representative Vicia faba germplasm resources were planted in the greenhouse of the Institute of Economic Crops, Jiangsu Academy of Agricultural Sciences in 2024. Fertilize and water reasonably, and record the flowering period of Vicia faba. The KASP molecular marker effect of 117 materials was verified. The CTAB method was used to extract genomic DNA from leaf tissues of 89 Vicia faba materials. The extracted DNA was used as a template for PCR amplification and fluorescence signal collection and genotyping.

[0035] The amplification system was 10.0 μL reaction system: Vicia faba DNA template 2 μL (20 ng / μL), 2× KASP MasterMix 5 μL (Wuhan Zhongke Biotechnology), primer working solution (F1 : F2 : R = 1 : 1 : 3) 1 μL, and ddH2O 2.0 µL. The specific procedure was as follows: Step 1: pre-denaturation at 4 ℃ for 15 min, 1 cycle; Step 2: 10 cycles of 94 ℃ denaturation for 20 s, 57 ℃ annealing for 60 s, with a decrease of 0.8 ℃ in annealing temperature for each cycle; Step 3: 94 ℃ denaturation for 20 s, annealing temperature set to 55 ℃ for 60 s, 26 cycles; Step 4: 30 ℃ extension for 60 s. The QuantStudio 5 fluorescence quantitative instrument was used for fluorescence signal reading and genotyping of the products.

[0036] Experimental results: 89 Vicia faba materials were amplified and genotyped (Table 1). The fluorescence signal collection results showed that 17 Vicia faba materials were aggregated as blue, with genotype CC; 72 Vicia faba materials were aggregated as red, with genotype TT, and the accuracy of KASP molecular marker for early flowering phenotype variety reached 83.15% (A). Figure 5 A).

[0037] At the same time, the early flowering traits of 89 Vicia faba different genotype materials were analyzed. The spring acceleration flowering rate of genotype CC reached 0.40, which was greater than that of genotype TT 0.30, and the difference was extremely significant (0.001<P<0.01) (B), indicating that the KASP marker meets the requirements for identification of different Vicia faba early flowering genotypes, and can be used for Vicia faba early maturity molecular marker assisted selection breeding.
