[0065] Example 1
[0066] Development of SNP molecular markers for barley powdery mildew resistance
[0067] BSA analysis was performed on the F2 generation of a hybrid population consisting of the powdery mildew-resistant parent Feng7 and the powdery mildew-susceptible parent Vlamingh. After data quality control, variant detection, and association analysis, the powdery mildew resistance region was located on chromosome 4, specifically the segment 623165594-623744888. Local and online sequence alignment analysis was performed using software such as DNAMAN and the NCBI database to obtain several SNP loci. PCR primers were designed for these loci, and their reliability was determined by gel electrophoresis and HRM experiments. The available primers were then used to determine linkage relationships in the F2 segregating population phenotype, and loci reflecting powdery mildew resistance were screened. BPM2 A gene contains a SNP locus where the powdery mildew resistance allele is A or heterozygous, and the powdery mildew susceptibility allele is C (e.g., ...). Figure 1 Molecular markers developed for this specific nucleic acid sequence can be used to identify haplotypes in this region.
[0068] Example 2
[0069] The primers for PCR-HRM analysis were designed based on the molecular markers developed in Example 1. The primer design principle is as follows:
[0070] Primers were designed on both sides of the SNP to ensure the amplification product length was between 100-200 bp, with the difference between the infective and resistant parents only at the target SNP site. A fluorescent nucleic acid dye was added to the PCR amplification system. This dye fluoresces when the DNA is double-stranded and loses fluorescence when the DNA is single-stranded. After PCR amplification, the dye is distributed throughout the double-stranded DNA of the amplified product. For HRM analysis, the PCR product was slowly heated while recording the fluorescence value, resulting in a curve showing fluorescence values from high to low. The derivative of this curve is the melting curve. The homozygous melting curve exhibits a single peak, and the x-axis of the highest point on the curve represents the melting temperature (T). m (Value). Since the amplification products differ by only one SNP, when the SNP is A, the base pair has two hydrogen bonds, T m The value is low; when the SNP is C, the base pair has 3 hydrogen bonds, T m The value is relatively high; when the site is heterozygous, T m The value lies between the two homozygous types and a secondary peak is present. For the haplotype in this invention, if the melting curve of the amplified product is a single peak, the melting temperature (T) is... m If the melting temperature (T0.0) is 84.0-84.5℃, then the barley to be tested is determined to be a homozygous haplotype resistant to disease; if the melting curve of the amplified product is a single peak, the melting temperature (T0.0) is 84.0-84.5℃. m If the melting temperature (T0.0) is 85.0-85.5℃, then the barley to be tested is determined to be a homozygous haplotype susceptible to disease; if the melting curve of the amplified product is bimodal, and the melting temperature of the main peak (T0.0) is 85.0-85.5℃, then the barley to be tested is determined to be homozygous haplotype susceptible to disease; if the melting curve of mIf the temperature (value) is 84.5~85.0℃, the barley to be tested is determined to be heterozygous. Primers are shown in Table 1.

The instrument used for PCR and HRM was a Dongsheng Gene Amplification System (model: ETC811).
[0077] The PCR reaction conditions were: 95℃ pre-denaturation for 5 minutes; 95℃ denaturation for 15 seconds, 56℃ annealing for 15 seconds, and 72℃ extension for 60 seconds, for a total of 40 cycles.

[0097] (5.3) Results Analysis
[0098] Partial HRM typing results of 50 F2 populations constructed from the powdery mildew-resistant parent Feng7, the powdery mildew-susceptible parent Vlamingh, and the two parents are as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the dissolution temperature (T) m If the melting temperature (T0.0) is 84.0-84.5℃, then the barley to be tested is determined to be a homozygous haplotype resistant to disease; if the melting curve of the amplified product is a single peak, the melting temperature (T0.0) is 84.0-84.5℃. m If the melting temperature (T0.0) is 85.0-85.5℃, then the barley to be tested is determined to be a homozygous haplotype susceptible to disease; if the melting curve of the amplified product is bimodal, and the melting temperature of the main peak (T0.0) is 85.0-85.5℃, then the barley to be tested is determined to be homozygous haplotype susceptible to disease; if the melting curve of mIf the value falls between the two values, the tested barley is determined to be heterozygous, exhibiting a phenotype of resistance to powdery mildew. Results showed that in a study of 50 F2 individuals, A represented individuals with the same genotype as the powdery mildew-resistant Feng7, B represented individuals with the same genotype as the powdery mildew-susceptible parent Vlamingh, and Z represented heterozygotes. The segregation ratio of the three different genotypes was A:B:Z = 13:11:26. This marker can distinguish between two different homozygous and heterozygous genotypes, enabling the identification of genes in powdery mildew-resistant regions. BPM2 Efficient and accurate genotyping can be used for screening and identifying barley resources, as well as for molecular genetic breeding of barley to resist powdery mildew.
