Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of plum pulp color identification technology. Specifically, it relates to an SNP site, DNA fragment, molecular marker primer, and method for identifying the color of plum pulp. Background Technology

[0002] *Prunus humilis*, a low-growing, clump-forming shrub belonging to the genus *Prunus* in the family Rosaceae, is a third-generation afforestation fruit tree unique to northern China. The plant grows to a height of 0.4-1.5 m, with indistinct main branches and a well-developed underground root system, achieving a root-to-crown ratio of up to 9:1 in a network structure. The dense foliage reduces surface runoff and soil erosion, exhibiting strong cold, drought, and poor soil tolerance. It thrives primarily on sand dunes and barren slopes and possesses strong regenerative capacity. Therefore, *Prunus humilis* is an ideal forestry material for studying plant resistance to abiotic stresses.

[0003] The fruit of the European plum is brightly colored, has a unique flavor, and is arranged in clusters. It is rich in flavonoids, organic acids, tannins, and other bioactive substances, especially calcium, hence its commercial name "calcium fruit." As a plant used for both food and medicine, years of selection, cultivation, and utilization research have shown that this species has a high survival rate, grows quickly, and is used for fruit, animal husbandry, flowering, and medicinal purposes. Its fruit can be eaten fresh, juiced, or processed into vinegar, preserves, and wine. The seeds of the European plum, also known as "Yu Li Ren," have heat-clearing and diuretic effects; the leaves have also been developed into tea beverages in recent years. Furthermore, the fruit contains abundant polyphenols, with higher levels of total phenols, total flavonoids, and flavonols than blackberries and blueberries. The flavonoid content is about three times that of cherries and strawberries; anthocyanins, an important component of flavonoids, are also present in higher amounts than in cranberries and apples. The flesh of the European plum is brightly colored, with shades of red, yellow, and purple. The accumulation of anthocyanins has a significant impact on the quality of European plums. It not only determines the vibrancy of the skin and flesh color, but also serves as an important natural antioxidant, offering positive effects on human health. European plums with red flesh are richer in anthocyanins, better meeting market demands. Therefore, finding an accurate and rapid method for identifying the color of European plum flesh is crucial.

[0004] Currently, the identification of red and yellow-fleshed Prunus cerasifera fruits is mainly accomplished through traditional morphological identification methods. However, these traditional methods require a 3-5 year growth cycle, hindering widespread adoption. With advancements in molecular biology techniques, molecular marker technologies based on DNA sequence polymorphism have emerged, such as RFLP, RAPD, and SSR. These technologies require specific primers to amplify target DNA fragments, enabling the detection and analysis of specific sites in the genome. The advent of molecular marker primers has made molecular marker technologies more efficient, accurate, and convenient, providing powerful tools for research in fields such as genetic breeding, gene mapping, and species identification.

[0005] Molecular marker primers play a crucial role in identifying fruit flesh color. By specifically binding to target gene fragments, they amplify specific DNA fragments, and the differences in bands can be analyzed using techniques such as electrophoresis to accurately distinguish the genotypes corresponding to different flesh colors. This method is unaffected by environmental factors and provides a highly efficient molecular tool for fruit color genetic research, variety breeding, and quality identification. However, there are currently no reports on using molecular markers to identify the flesh color of Prunus cerasifera (European plum). Summary of the Invention

[0006] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an SNP site, molecular marker primer and method for identifying the color of Prunus cerasifera pulp, so as to solve the technical problems of long cycle and unfavorable promotion of traditional identification methods.

[0015] SEQ ID NO.3: ATGGGACTAGAGTCTGAATCTG;

[0016] SEQ ID NO. 4: TTAACCGGAGACTTTGACATCG.

[0017] A method for identifying the color of European plum pulp includes the following steps:

[0018] Step (1): Collect tissue samples from the *Prunus cerasifera* plant to be tested and extract total RNA;

[0019] Step (2): Obtain cDNA by reverse transcription of the extracted total RNA;

[0020] Step (3): Using cDNA as a template, the DFR gene of Prunus cerasifera was amplified using the molecular marker primers for identifying the color of Prunus cerasifera pulp, and the amplification product was obtained.

[0022] Step (5): Based on the sequencing results, compare and determine the base type of the SNP sites used to identify the color of the plum flesh, and determine whether the plum flesh of the sample to be tested is red or yellow.

[0023] In the above method for identifying the color of Prunus cerasifera pulp, in step (1), the Prunus cerasifera plant tissue can be roots, stems, leaves, flowers, or fruits, etc.

[0024] In the above method for identifying the color of Prunus cerasifera pulp, step (1) involves using the FastPure UniversalPlant Total RNA Isolation Kit to extract total RNA from Prunus cerasifera plant tissue samples.

[0025] In the above method for identifying the color of Prunus cerasifera pulp, step (2) involves using the HiScript II Q RTSuperMix for qPCR (+gDNA wiper) kit to reverse transcribe the extracted total RNA to obtain cDNA.

[0026] In the above method for identifying the color of Prunus cerasifera pulp, in step (3), the PCR amplification reaction system is a 50 μL mixed system: 20 μL of ddH2O, 1 μL of sample cDNA, 25 μL of 2×Phanta Flash Master Mix (Dye Plus), 2 μL of 10 μmol / L forward primer and 2 μL of 10 μmol / L reverse primer;

[0028] In the above method for identifying the color of the flesh of the European plum, in step (4), if the sequencing result is as shown in SEQ ID NO.1, then the flesh of the European plum sample to be tested is determined to be red; if the sequencing result is as shown in SEQ ID NO.2, then the flesh of the European plum sample to be tested is determined to be yellow.

[0029] The technical solution of the present invention achieves the following beneficial technical effects:

[0030] 1. This invention relates to molecular marker primers and methods for identifying the flesh color of *Prunus cerasifera* (European plum). Using forward primer DFR-F and reverse primer DFR-R, total genomic DNA from red and yellow *Prunus cerasifera* flesh samples is amplified. Alignment of the amplified DFR intergenic spacer sequence reveals a single base variation between the red and yellow flesh sequences. The amplification results are consistent across individuals in both the red and yellow flesh populations, demonstrating a high degree of uniformity. The method of this invention is stable, highly reproducible, and guarantees extremely high accuracy. Therefore, base differences based on the DFR intergenic spacer region can serve as a molecular marker for distinguishing the flesh color of *Prunus cerasifera*, and the identification method is simple and easy to operate.

[0031] 2. Traditional methods for identifying the flesh color of Prunus cerasifera require waiting until the fruit is ripe before observation and identification can be performed. Seedlings typically take 3-5 years to bear fruit, resulting in a long growth cycle that is easily affected by environmental and human factors. Utilizing the SNP sites, primers, and methods for identifying the flesh color of Prunus cerasifera provided in this invention, only one plant tissue sample (root, stem, leaf, flower, or fruit, etc.) is needed for rapid identification of the flesh color, significantly improving detection speed and efficiency. This invention establishes a rapid and convenient detection system based on this method. Attached Figure Description
