Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of plant molecular biology, and more particularly to a soybean pod-bursting resistance trait locus. qPD08-1 And its applications. Background Technology

[0002] Soybeans Glycine max Soybeans are an important economic crop originating in my country and a significant source of plant protein. Currently, my country's soybean production cannot be increased by expanding the planting area. Domestically produced soybeans can only meet food demand, and feed soybeans rely heavily on imports, falling far short of domestic consumption. Therefore, increasing soybean yield per unit area is a crucial means to boost my country's soybean production.

[0003] The trait of resistance to pod bursting in soybeans is considered one of the first traits selected during soybean domestication. The seeds of leguminous plants are contained in pods composed of carpels. At maturity, the process of the carpels splitting open along the seam is called pod bursting or splitting. The trait of pod bursting is closely related to soybean yield. In wild soybeans, pod splitting is a necessary condition for reproduction; however, in cultivated soybeans, pod bursting leads to seed scattering and difficulty in harvesting, becoming one of the important reasons for reduced soybean yield. Reports indicate that some varieties prone to pod bursting can suffer yield losses of 50%–100% when harvested in dry weather; other studies have found that soybean varieties prone to pod bursting and those with moderate pod bursting can suffer losses of up to 175–186 kg / hm² due to late harvesting after maturity. 2 In China, the main cultivated varieties in the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain suffer losses of up to 112.5 kg / hm² due to pod breakage. 2 Harvesting soybeans too early can lead to a decrease in 100-seed weight, oil content, and protein content, while harvesting too late can reduce yield due to pod breakage. In addition, the seeds that fall from the pods can remain dormant in the soil for up to 10 years. Under suitable environmental conditions, once dormancy is broken, they become weeds and affect the growth of the current season's crops. Summary of the Invention

[0032] The experimental site was located in the soybean experimental field of the Heihe Branch of the Heilongjiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Soybean parents, recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations, and residual heterozygous line (RHL) populations were randomly arranged into plots. The ridge length was 2m, the ridge spacing was 66.7cm, and the plant spacing was 5cm. Manual sowing was combined with deep fertilization, including the application of 37.5kg / hm² of urea. 2 225 kg / hm² of diammonium phosphate 2 Potassium fertilizer 37.5 kg / hm 2 Unified field management was implemented. Five days after the soybean plants reached full maturity, 30 pod samples were taken from the upper part of the soybean plants and stored in a 4℃ refrigerator, taking care to avoid pod bursting during sampling. Each pod sample was placed in a heat-resistant wide-mouth glass beaker, covered with a fine wire mesh to prevent pods from scattering during bursting, and baked in a 60℃ oven for 13 hours. The number of bursting pods was counted and the bursting rate was calculated.

[0033] The formula for calculating the pod breakage rate is: pod breakage rate = (number of broken pods / total number of pods) × 100%.

Using 13 pairs of interval polymorphic SSR markers for in-depth identification (as shown in Table 1), 17 different types of exchanger individuals were identified. Based on phenotype, the location range of the interval was narrowed from the initial 2.921 Mb to 123.258 kb, located between SSR markers 08-1363 and 08-1371. This interval contains two genes, namely...
