Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to a KASP molecular marker related to the wet gluten content of wheat kernels and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the global food consumption trend towards functionalization and health, targeted improvement of wheat quality for different processing needs has become the key to breaking through the limitations of traditional agriculture. Deepening the research on wheat processing quality is an important way to cope with the challenges of food security and lead the transformation and upgrading of agricultural industry. The wet gluten content of wheat kernels is of great significance for improving wheat processing quality, optimizing food production technology and ensuring food security.

[0003] Wet gluten is mainly composed of glutenin and gliadin, and its content and characteristics directly affect the texture, taste and processing performance of flour products. The wet gluten content (WGC) of wheat kernels is one of the important indicators for evaluating the quality of wheat flour. High WGC flour has a strong gluten network structure, which is suitable for making foods with high elasticity and extensibility, such as bread, noodles and dumpling wrappers. On the contrary, low WGC flour is more suitable for making crisp cookies or cakes. Screening special wheat varieties suitable for different processing needs and further breeding through marker assisted selection (MAS) and other technologies to cultivate high-quality wheat that meets specific processing needs can effectively improve the economic value of wheat and meet consumers' demand for diversified and high-quality foods.

[0004] However, the determination of wheat kernel WGC is time-consuming and laborious, and breeders cannot directly select it by phenotype in the field. Marker assisted selection (MAS) is an effective way to improve the WGC of wheat kernels. The development of molecular markers associated with it is of great significance for wheat quality breeding. Currently, KASP (Kompetitive allele specific PCR) marker technology has been widely used in wheat SNP site detection and molecular breeding application research, achieving high-throughput genotyping. Using genotype data generated by wheat SNP chip or resequencing, combined with QTL mapping and association analysis, SNPs can be converted into KASP markers and directly used for molecular marker assisted breeding to improve breeding efficiency.

Genetic analysis of common wheat black kernel disease resistance [D]. China Agricultural University, 2018.” The biological materials can be obtained from the applicant to repeat the experiments of the application.

[0030] The wheat varieties in Table 3 in the following examples are described in the non-patent literature “Liu Jindong. Genetic analysis of common wheat black kernel disease resistance [D].

Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, 2020. DOI: 10.27630 / d.cnki.gznky.2020.000236.” The biological materials can be obtained from the applicant to repeat the experiments of the application.

[0031] In the following examples, the data were processed using Excel 2019 statistical software, and the experimental results were expressed as mean ± standard deviation, and One-way ANOVA test was used, P <0.05 (*) indicates a significant difference, P <0.01 (**) indicates a highly significant difference, P <0.001 (*** ) indicates a highly significant difference.

[0032] Example 1, discovery of QTL of grain wet gluten content in Zhong 892 x Linmai 2 RIL population and obtaining of KASP marker I. Acquisition of phenotypic data The maternal parent of Linmai 2 is Lumaiz 23, and the paternal parent is Lin 90-15, which is a medium gluten wheat variety.

[0033] The maternal parent of Zhong 892 is the F6 generation line 786-11 (Eurou / Beijing 8), and the paternal parent is the F3 generation line LK338 / 730-04. It was bred by the Institute of Crop Science and the Cotton Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and is a medium-strong gluten wheat variety.

[0034] Using Linmai 2 as the female parent and Zhong 892 as the male parent, a RIL population containing 262 F6 lines was constructed using the single-seed transfer method.

[0035] The RIL population was planted in Xinxiang, Henan Province in 2022-2023 and in Baoding, Hebei Province in 2023-2024, using a completely randomized block design with three replicates, single-row plots, row length 2 m, row width 0.25 m, and 60 grains / row. Field management throughout the wheat growth cycle followed local conventional cultivation techniques.

[0036] After timely harvesting, the grains were naturally sun-dried and stored. Impurities and damaged grains were removed, and the wet gluten content of the grains was determined using a Swiss-made near-infrared spectroscopy quality analyzer (DA7200). Each sample was measured three times for each replicate, and the average value was taken.

[0037] Genomic DNA was extracted from young leaves of 262 families using the CTAB method. DNA concentration was determined using a NanoDrop 2000c spectrophotometer, and the DNA samples were adjusted to a standard concentration of 50 ng / μL. DNA quality was then assessed using 0.8% agarose gel electrophoresis. DNA samples meeting quality standards were used for SNP genotyping. SNP analysis was performed using a wheat 90K SNP chip.

[0038] II. Linkage Graph Construction Genotyping of RILs and two parents was performed using the wheat 90K SNP chip from CapitalBio Corporation (http: / / www.capitalbio.com), which contained a total of 80,547 SNPs. Genotyping data were filtered to remove non-polymorphic markers, families with marker loss rates greater than 20%, and markers with a minimum allele frequency of less than 30%. The remaining high-quality polymorphic markers were used for subsequent analysis.

[0039] The filtered polymorphic markers were processed using the BIN function in IciMapping v4.2 (http: / / www.isbreeding.net / ; Meng et al. 2015), leaving 9354 markers. Genetic linkage maps were then constructed using JoinMap v4.0 and MapChart v2.32 software (https: / / www.wur.nl / en / show / Mapchart.htm; Voorrips, 2002).

[0040] III. QTL analysis QTL analysis was performed by IciMapping 4.1 ICIM-ADD method, and the LOD threshold was selected as 2.5. One stable QTL was located on the 4B chromosome of wheat, which was named as QWGC.lfnu-4BL , and located at about 621.3 Mb on the 4B chromosome. QWGC.lfnu-4BL The SNP site closely linked to the marker BS00022830_51 is called SNP1, which is located at 621.3 Mb (reference genome website https: / / urgi.versailles.inra.fr / blast_iwgsc / ) of the wheat reference genome (4B chromosome) Chinese Spring RefSeq v1.0 (621327033 bp), and can explain 5.65-9.21% of the phenotypic variation (see Table 1). The SNP1 site marked as BS00022830_51 is converted into KASP marker QWGC.LFNU-4BL , and the grain wet gluten content can be assisted by molecular marker screening. The present application has important significance for cultivating wheat varieties with high or low grain wet gluten content.

[0042] The SNP1 site is specifically the 251st nucleotide of SEQ ID No. 1, and the nucleotide type is T or C, represented by the letter Y. One of its allelic genotypes is TT (i.e. the 251st nucleotide of SEQ ID No. 1 is T homozygous type), and the wheat of this type is a low grain wet gluten content genotype, also known as T base type; the other allelic genotype is CC (i.e. the 251st nucleotide of SEQ ID No. 1 is C homozygous type), and the wheat of this type is a high grain wet gluten content genotype, also known as C base type.

[0044] The single-stranded DNA molecule shown in SEQ ID No. 2 and SEQ ID No. 4 amplifies the fragment of the 251st nucleotide of SEQ ID No. 1 as T, and the fluorescence signal of the fluorescent group combined with FAM sequence can be read by a microplate reader or a fluorescence quantitative PCR instrument; The single-stranded DNA molecule shown in SEQ ID No. 3 and SEQ ID No. 4 amplifies the fragment of the 251st nucleotide of SEQ ID No. 1 as C, and the fluorescence signal of the fluorescent group combined with HEX sequence can be read by a microplate reader or a fluorescence quantitative PCR instrument.

[0045] Principle of KASP: two forward competitive primers (the 5' end of the primers has a base sequence complementary to the fluorescent group HEX and FAM, and the other sequence only differs at the 3' end SNP) and one reverse common primer; the PCR reaction system contains a universal sequence modified by a fluorescent group and a quencher group (Master Mix is provided by LGC company), two forward primers can emit two different colors of light, if the site is homozygous, it emits a single fluorescence, if it is heterozygous, it can emit two kinds of fluorescence at the same time.

[0046] The KASP marker PCR amplification system is as follows: 2.0 μL KASP 2x Master Mix (LGC, item number: 13448166), 0.048 μL KASP primer (3 primers mixed, total concentration is 50 μM, and the molar ratio of two upstream primers and one downstream primer is 2:2:5), 1.952 μL template DNA (50 ng / μL). Amplification uses a 384-well PCR instrument (BIO-RAD, S1000TMThermal Cycler), and the program is as follows: 94℃ 15 min; 94℃ 20s, 63-55℃ 1 min (decrease 1℃ for each cycle), 10 cycles; 94℃ 20s, 55℃ 60s, 32 cycles.

[0047] The PCR amplification product is placed in an automatic focusing fluorescence multifunctional enzyme label instrument (PHERAstarplus SNP, BMGLABTECH) to read the final fluorescence data, and then the data is imported into Klustercaller v3.4 (LGC, Hoddesdon, UK) for genotyping.

[0048] The detection standard of the SNP1 site of the application is as follows: if the fluorescence signal data of the amplification product is analyzed by the genotyping software KlusterCaller close to the Y axis (FAM fluorescence signal), it represents that the genotype of the SNP1 site is TT homozygous; if the fluorescence signal data of the amplification product is analyzed by the genotyping software KlusterCaller close to the X axis (HEX fluorescence signal), it represents that the genotype of the SNP1 site is CC homozygous; if the fluorescence signal data of the amplification product is analyzed by the genotyping software KlusterCaller in the middle of the X axis and the Y axis (with FAM and HEX signals at the same time), it represents that the genotype of the SNP1 site is TC heterozygous.

[0049] Example 2 Application of KASP marker in identification of wheat grain wet gluten content The experimental material is 123 wheat varieties in the Huanghuai wheat region, and the specific information is shown in Table 3.

[0050] 123 elite varieties and advanced lines in the south part of Huanghuai wheat region were planted in Xinxiang, Henan and Dezhou, Shandong in 2020-2021 and 2021-2022.

Grains were harvested in time, naturally dried, stored, impurities and damaged grains were removed, and the WGC of grains was determined by a Swiss near-infrared quality analyzer (DA7200). Each repetition of each material was determined three times, and the average value was taken. The improved CTAB method was used to extract the genomic DNA of 123 families of young leaves.

[0051] The genomic DNA of all experimental materials was extracted, and KASP primers designed in Example 1 were used for detection with the template, and the specific operation was referred to Example 1.

[0052] The results are shown in Table 3 and Figure 1 Among the 123 wheat varieties, 62 varieties showed low grain wet gluten content genotype TT (blue), and the WGC was 31.6%; 60 varieties showed high grain wet gluten content genotype CC (red), and the WGC was 33.0%; statistical test showed QWGC.lfnu-4BL the gene effect reached significant difference ( P <0.05, Table 4).
