Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of plant molecular marker technology, specifically relating to a set of SSR molecular marker primers for Festuca sinensis and their applications. Background Technology
[0002] Chinese sheep fescue (Festuca sinensis) is an important germplasm resource of grasses, possessing excellent characteristics such as cold and drought resistance, and has significant value in ecological restoration and livestock development. In recent years, this grass species has been included in key research and development programs, becoming one of the key grass species for research and development. Summary of the Invention
[0003] Since there is no reference genome for *Festuca sinensis*, simple sequence repeat (SSR) molecular markers have become an ideal tool for developing molecular markers for *Festuca sinensis* due to their advantages such as high polymorphism, co-dominance, and good reproducibility. In the application of SSR molecular markers, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is the core step, and its amplification effect directly determines the accuracy and reliability of subsequent analyses.
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention is implemented through the following solution:
[0005] This invention provides a set of SSR molecular marker primers for Chinese fescue, as shown in Table 1.
[0006] This invention provides the application of the above-mentioned SSR molecular marker primers for Chinese fescue in the identification of Chinese fescue germplasm resources.
[0007] This invention provides the application of the above-mentioned Festuca sinensis SSR molecular marker primers in fingerprint pattern construction.
[0008] This invention provides the application of the above-mentioned Festuca sinensis SSR molecular marker primers in genetic diversity analysis.
[0009] This invention provides the application of the above-mentioned SSR molecular marker primers for Chinese fescue in molecular marker-assisted breeding.
[0010] This invention also provides a method for SSR analysis of Festuca sinensis, the method comprising the following steps:
[0011] (1) Extract genomic DNA from the Chinese fescue sample to be tested;
[0012] (2) Using genomic DNA as a template, PCR amplification was performed using the above primers to obtain the amplification product;
[0013] (3) Electrophoretic separation and development of the amplified products were performed to obtain the results of SSR analysis of Festuca sinensis.
[0014] In this invention, the PCR reaction system described in step (2) includes the following components when measured in 10 μL:
[0015] 5 μL of 2× Es Taq MasterMix (Dye); 1 μL of template DNA at a concentration of 20 ng / μL; 1 μL each of forward and reverse primers at a concentration of 15 μM; 2 μL of ddH2O.
[0016] In this invention, the PCR amplification procedure in step (2) is as follows:
[0017] Pre-denaturation at 95°C for 2 minutes; 26 cycles were performed, each cycle consisting of denaturation at 94°C for 30 seconds, annealing at 58°C for 45 seconds, and extension at 72°C for 60 seconds; after the cycle, a final extension was performed at 72°C for 7 minutes; the reaction product was stored at 4°C.
[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] (1) The detection cost is significantly reduced, making it suitable for large-scale application.
[0020] Existing technologies mostly use a 20 μL reaction system, while this invention optimizes the system to 10 μL, reducing reagent consumption by approximately 50%. This optimization effectively saves experimental costs during large-scale germplasm resource screening, demonstrating significant economic benefits.
[0021] (2) The amplification specificity and result stability were significantly improved.
[0022] This invention innovatively employs a four-factor, three-level orthogonal experimental design (L9(3)). 4) This method synergistically optimizes four key parameters: template DNA concentration, primer concentration, annealing temperature, and extension time. It overcomes the limitations of traditional univariate optimization, efficiently screening for the optimal parameter combination and revealing the interactions between factors. This ensures amplification results with clear bands, low background, and high polymorphism under different operating conditions, greatly improving the reproducibility and reliability of the method.
[0023] (3) It provides a complete, standardized, and reusable solution.
[0024] This invention completely solves the problems of vague details and difficulty in reproduction in existing technologies. The solution has clear parameters and standardized operation, which can be directly referenced and used by those skilled in the art, and has strong operability and repeatability.
[0025] In summary, this invention, through a series of improvements such as miniaturization of the reaction system and multi-factor orthogonal optimization, successfully overcomes the shortcomings of existing technologies and forms an SSR-PCR amplification method specifically for Chinese fescue with significant advantages in terms of cost, stability, and operability.
