Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the fields of molecular biology and crop breeding technology, and in particular relates to a method for detecting wheat genotypes using KASP markers and its applications. Background Technology
[0002] Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is one of my country's most important food crops, with nearly 10,000 years of cultivation history, providing vital support and security for human survival and livelihood. As the world's largest grain producer, increasing my country's grain output is a fundamental task to ensure the livelihood of farmers. Building upon wheat's role in providing food for humanity, genetic improvement relies on efficient molecular marker technology. With the development of molecular breeding, the development of molecular markers with high polymorphism, good reproducibility, and reasonable cost is of great significance for wheat variety identification and molecular design breeding. Wheat is one of the most widely planted and consumed food crops globally. my country's annual wheat production ranks high, second only to corn in total output, making it a core crop for ensuring food security.
[0003] KASP marker development is one of the methods for wheat genotyping. This invention discloses a wheat-related KASP molecular marker and its development method. The process involves developing a molecular marker targeting single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sites in a target gene to detect whether it is related to nitrogen content. This marker is simple, convenient, and has good genetic stability, and can be used for marker-assisted breeding of target traits in wheat, improving breeding efficiency.
[0004] Molecular marker-assisted selection (MMR) is a key technology for improving wheat breeding efficiency. However, existing molecular markers and detection technologies for wheat KASP have many shortcomings, hindering their large-scale application. In the detection of wheat KASP markers, existing technologies often face numerous problems. In actual detection, differences between sample and template sequences, sample impurities, large concentration differences, or a large number of samples may lead to unsuccessful marker detection or inaccurate genotyping. This invention aims to solve these problems and improve the accuracy and reliability of wheat KASP marker detection. Therefore, there is an urgent need in the field to develop a molecular marker detection technology that is high-throughput, accurate, low-cost, easy to operate, and readily automated, to achieve rapid, accurate, and large-scale application of genotyping in wheat breeding.
[0005] In summary, while many linkage markers for wheat-related genes can be used for marker-assisted selection, their detection efficiency is low, results are not always accurate, and the development and detection outcomes are not always satisfactory. Therefore, developing KASP markers closely linked to specific wheat traits and establishing an efficient, accurate, and low-cost genotyping method is of great significance for overcoming traditional breeding bottlenecks, realizing molecular design breeding of wheat, accelerating the selection of superior new varieties, and enhancing the core competitiveness of my country's seed industry.

This ensures that effective KASP marker information can be accurately obtained from 205 or more wheat samples.

[0028] 1.1 Experimental Materials and Objectives To verify the effectiveness and practicality of the KASP molecular markers described in this invention, 205 genetically diverse natural wheat populations were selected as test samples. These samples, sourced from the wheat breeding experimental field of Henan Agricultural University, covered winter wheat, spring wheat, and hybrid progeny materials, exhibiting broad genetic diversity.
