Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of molecular-assisted breeding technology, and in particular to a combination of SNP sites and KASP molecular markers related to the 100-seed weight of soybeans and their applications. Background Technology

[0002] As an important oilseed and feed crop, soybean yield formation and quality improvement have always been core research directions in the field of soybean genetics and breeding. Seed size is a key agronomic trait affecting soybean yield, and 100-seed weight, as a core indicator for measuring seed size, is not only directly related to the yield per soybean plant, but also closely related to seed plumpness and commercial value, making it an important selection factor in high-yield soybean breeding.

[0003] Traditional breeding relies primarily on phenotypic selection to improve traits, but it suffers from inherent drawbacks such as lengthy breeding cycles, high manual workload, and limited selection precision. In contrast, molecular-assisted selection (MAG) breeding technology enables targeted tracking and precise editing of target genes. When combined with conventional breeding techniques, it can significantly improve breeding efficiency and demonstrates enormous application potential.

[0004] Therefore, identifying key sites regulating soybean 100-seed weight and developing molecular markers with breeding applications are core prerequisites for providing theoretical support and technical assurance for high-yield soybean breeding. Thus, developing KASP molecular markers and applying them to the joint identification and assisted selection of soybean 100-seed weight traits, thereby contributing to the progress of high-yield soybean breeding, has become a critical issue urgently needing to be addressed by those skilled in the art.

[0051] Note: F1 and R1 are labeled with FAM fluorescent groups, and F2 and R2 are labeled with HEX fluorescent groups.

[0052] Example 2

[0053] The weight of 100 grains in the natural population materials (Table 3) was determined, and genotyping was performed using the KASP molecular marker designed in Example 1.

[0054] 1. Method for testing 100-seed weight: After the seeds are fully mature, harvest the seeds, randomly select 20 representative seeds from each strain, weigh them, and calculate the weight of 100 seeds.

[0055] 2. Genotyping methods:

[0056] (1) DNA extraction

[0057] Genomic DNA was extracted from natural populations using the CTAB method. The specific steps are as follows:

[0058] Take a piece of leaf and put it into a 2 mL centrifuge tube, and add a steel ball to each tube.

[0059] The centrifuge tube containing the sample and steel balls was quickly immersed in liquid nitrogen for freezing and then thoroughly broken up.

[0060] Add 600 μL of CTAB extraction buffer (which has been pre-added with 2% (v / v) β-mercaptoethanol) to each of the crushed samples, shake vigorously to mix the sample and buffer thoroughly, and incubate the resulting mixture in a 65°C water bath for 60 min.

[0061] Add 5 μL (10 mg / μL) of RNase A solution to the mixture after water bath and mix well;

[0062] The mixture was placed in a 37°C water bath for 30 min to degrade the RNA.

[0063] Add 600 μL of phenol:chloroform mixture (volume ratio 25:24) to the mixture for extraction and shake thoroughly to mix.

[0064] Centrifuge the mixture at 12000 rpm for 10 min, carefully transfer 400 μL of the supernatant to a new 2 mL centrifuge tube, add 600 μL of isopropanol, gently invert the centrifuge tube several times to mix, centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 10 min, and discard the supernatant.

[0065] Add 500 μL of 70% (v / v) ethanol to the centrifuge tube containing the DNA precipitate, shake well to suspend the DNA precipitate, remove the supernatant, and wash twice.

[0066] Finally, remove any remaining liquid, air-dry the DNA precipitate, and add 100 μL of ultrapure water to the dried DNA precipitate to dissolve it completely. Store the dissolved genomic DNA solution at -20°C for later use.

[0067] (2) Genotyping

[0068] Using genomic DNA as a template, PCR amplification was performed using the KASP primers shown in Table 2.

[0069] Reaction system: 5 μL 2×Master Mix, 0.14 μL KASP primers, 20-30 ng template, and sterile water to a final volume of 10 μL.

[0070] Reaction program: 95℃ pre-denaturation for 10 min; 95℃ denaturation for 20 s, 61℃-55℃, decreasing by 0.6℃ per cycle, annealing extension for 40 s, 10 cycles; 95℃ denaturation for 20 s, 55℃ annealing extension for 40 s, 30 cycles.

[0071] PCR amplification was performed on an ABI QuantStudio 7 Pro, using FAM and HEX as reporter fluorescence and ROX as reference fluorescence. After reading the fluorescence signals on the ABI QuantStudio 7 Pro, the KASP detection results were interpreted. The KASP detection results are shown below. Figures 1-5 And Table 3.

[0072] Table 3. KASP molecular marker genotyping results of natural population materials

[0073]

[0074] The KASP molecular marker genotyping results and phenotypic association validation results of natural population materials are attached. Figure 6 As shown, the average grain weight of the high-grain-weight material in the natural population was 22.17 g, belonging to haplotype Hap1 (homozygous TT / GG / GG / CC / CC genotype); the average grain weight of the medium-grain-weight material in the natural population was 20.16 g, belonging to haplotype Hap2 (homozygous CC / AA / AA / CC / CC genotype); and the average grain weight of the low-grain-weight material in the natural population was 10.61 g, belonging to haplotype Hap3 (homozygous CC / GG / AA / TT / TT genotype).

[0075] The test results showed that the 100-seed weight of soybeans with homozygous TT / GG / GG / CC / CC genotype and CC / AA / AA / CC / CC genotype was significantly higher than that of soybeans with CC / GG / AA / TT / TT genotype.

[0076] In summary, the KASP molecular marker developed in this invention can detect different genotypes of materials with different 100-grain weights in natural populations, further clarifying that this molecular marker can be used for molecular-assisted selection breeding of soybean materials with different 100-grain weights.

[0077] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Various modifications and improvements made by those skilled in the art to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit of the present invention should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
