Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of molecular biology, and particularly relates to a KASP primer set of Aegilops tauschii 4D chromosome, a kit and use. BACKGROUND
[0002] Hexaploid bread wheat originated from the allopolyploidization of tetraploid wheat and diploid Aegilops tauschii. The strong genomic plasticity after polyploidization endows hexaploid wheat with broad adaptability to complex habitats, making hexaploid wheat one of the most important crops in the world. However, due to the genetic evolution bottleneck caused by polyploidization and the loss of genetic diversity in the process of human domestication and breeding, the yield of wheat cannot meet the rapid population growth and the huge production challenges brought by global climate change.
[0003] Aegilops tauschii Coss. Aegilops tauschii , with a chromosome number of 2N=2x=14 and a genome of DD, is divided into strangulata and tauschii two subtypes, and is the ancestor of common wheat D genome, which has a variety of excellent genes for regulating yield, disease resistance, processing quality and the like. However, it is reported that only a small part of germplasm is involved in the allopolyploidization process of hexaploid wheat, and research shows that there is a large difference between the D genome of common wheat and the D genome of its wild relative Aegilops tauschii. Therefore, Aegilops tauschii is an important gene pool for enriching the genetic diversity of common wheat. For example, artificial synthetic hexaploid wheat obtained by crossing tetraploid wheat and Aegilops tauschii is used as a bridge parent, and then crossed with common wheat to obtain wheat introgression lines containing Aegilops tauschii fragments, and new wheat varieties containing excellent traits of Aegilops tauschii are selected from the lines; or Aegilops tauschii is directly crossed with common wheat, and then backcrossed with common wheat to transfer excellent genes of Aegilops tauschii.
[0004] Although chromosome 4D is the shortest among the D genome chromosomes of wheat, it carries nearly 5700 genes, including many genes with important breeding values. Research shows that 4D chromosome is more conservative than other chromosomes of D genome, and has fewer difference sites. Therefore, in-depth analysis of 4D chromosome of Aegilops tauschii and development of specific molecular markers have important application values for assisting construction of high-density genetic map, carrying out fine mapping and functional identification of genes, and screening new genetic improvement materials created by using 4D chromosome. SUMMARY
[0005] In view of the above deficiencies in the prior art, the application provides a KASP primer set of Aegilops tauschii 4D chromosome, a kit and use, which lays a foundation for subsequent construction of high-density genetic map and carrying out fine mapping, cloning and functional identification of genes, and provides a screening marker for breeding new wheat breeding improvement materials introgressed with Aegilops tauschii 4D chromosome.
[0006] To achieve the above object, the technical scheme adopted by the present application to solve its technical problems is: The present application aims to provide a KASP primer set of Aegilops tauschii 4D chromosome, which comprises six KASP primer sets, KASP-AET4Gv20311800, KASP-AET4Gv20346900, KASP-AET4Gv20385800, KASP-AET4Gv20503200, KASP-AET4Gv20550100-1 and KASP-AET4Gv20550100-2, each of which comprises two forward primers and one reverse primer, and the specific sequences of the primers are shown in SEQ ID NO. 1-18.
[0007] Further, the 5' end of the forward primer in each primer set is connected with different fluorescent labels, respectively.
[0008] Further, the fluorescent labels are FAM, Cy5, Cy3, JOE or HEX.
[0009] Another object of the present application is to provide a kit comprising the KASP primer set of Aegilops tauschii 4D chromosome.
[0010] Another object of the present application is to provide the use of the KASP primer set or the kit in identifying Aegilops tauschii 4D chromosome or a wheat variety containing Aegilops tauschii 4D chromosome.
[0011] Further, the kit comprises the following steps: (1) extracting the wheat genomic DNA to be tested; (2) using the KASP primer set or the kit to amplify the wheat genomic DNA to be tested, and then determining whether the wheat genomic DNA to be tested contains 4D chromosome according to the fluorescence signal after amplification.
[0012] Further, the amplification system comprises 1 µL of DNA sample with a concentration of 30 ng / µL, 0.04 µL of each of two forward primers with a concentration of 100 µmol / L, 0.12 µL of reverse primer with a concentration of 100 µmol / L, and 1 µL of KASP MasterMix.
[0013] Further, the amplification program is as follows: pre-denaturation at 95℃ for 10 min; denaturation at 95℃ for 20 s, annealing at 61℃ for 60 s, a total of 10 cycles, and the annealing temperature decreases by 0.6℃ for each cycle; denaturation at 95℃ for 20 s, annealing at 55℃ for 60 s, a total of 30 cycles; and termination at 4℃.
[0014] The present application has the following beneficial effects: 1. The existing wheat molecular (breeding) markers or chips mainly cover the AB genome, while the markers of the D genome are relatively few. Developing KASP molecular markers specific to Aegilops tauschii has important application value for enriching the marker library. For example, it lays the foundation for markers for fine mapping of excellent genes on the D genome and subsequent gene cloning, functional identification.
[0015] 2. Aegilops tauschii chromosome 4D contains excellent genes for dwarfing, high yield, stripe rust resistance, Indian brown rust resistance, aluminum tolerance, salt and alkali tolerance, and regulation of leaf sheath epidermal pubescence traits. Developing KASP molecular markers specific to chromosome 4D can provide identification markers for screening Aegilops tauschii chromosome 4D introgression in new wheat materials for genetic improvement, accelerating the breeding process.
