Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of gene technology, specifically relating to a molecular marker composition for identifying seedless traits in grapes and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Over a long period of development, grapes have undergone mutations due to natural conditions and human activities, resulting in many new varieties and enriching grape germplasm resources. Seedless grapes are highly favored for their convenience and excellent flavor. However, naturally occurring seedless grape varieties are scarce, and seedless grape breeding is time-consuming and inefficient. Common methods for seedless grape breeding include conventional hybridization, embryo rescue breeding, bud mutation selection, and molecular marker-assisted early identification breeding. Among these, conventional hybridization is the main approach for seedless grape breeding, but its seedless rate in hybrid offspring is low and it relies on the seedless heritability of the hybrid parents. With the development of molecular marker technology, DNA molecular marker-assisted breeding can greatly improve the efficiency and accuracy of plant breeding. Therefore, screening for highly efficient seedless gene molecular markers is of great significance for seedless grape breeding. Although previous researchers have developed a number of seedless molecular markers, including SCAR markers, SSR markers, and probes, the efficiency and applicability of these markers vary in different groups of grape germplasm resources. Compared to other conventional markers, P3_VvAGL11 has higher detection efficiency in different grape populations, ploidy types, and seedless varieties. However, in actual experiments, its overall identification is still affected by European and American diploid seeded plants, as well as a small number of European and American seedless plants, resulting in significant limitations in detection. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the problems in existing technologies, such as the difficulty in meeting market demand for superior seedless grape varieties, the low seedlessness rate of hybrid breeding offspring, the long breeding time and low stability, and the limitations of DNA marker technology, this invention provides a highly efficient molecular marker composition for identifying the seedless trait in grapes, which can shorten the breeding cycle, and its application. The technical solution is as follows: A molecular marker composition for identifying seedless traits in grapes includes a sequence tag site (STS) molecular marker P3_VvAGL11 (PRO) of the VvAGL11 gene, a specific insertion fragment marker (INS) of the VvAGL11 promoter region, and an amino acid mutation site marker (CDS) of the coding region.

[0004] Furthermore, it includes molecular markers with sequences as shown in SEQ ID NO.1, insertion fragment markers in the promoter region with sequences as shown in SEQ ID NO.2, and amino acid mutation site markers in the coding region with sequences as shown in SEQ ID NO.3.

[0006] Furthermore, a mutation occurs at position 197 in the coding region or mutations occur simultaneously at positions 197 and 210. The amino acid sequence before mutation is as shown in SEQ ID NO.8: MGRGKIEIKRIENTTNRQVTFCKRRNGLLKKAYELSVLCDAEVALIVFSSRGRVYEYSNNNIKSTIDRYKKASSDSTNGGSTMEINAQYYQQESAKLRQQIQMLQNSNRHLMGDSLASLTVKELKQLENRLERGITRIRSKKHELLLAEIEYLQKREIELENESVYLRTKIAEVERLQQANMVSTHEFNAIQALVS R NFFQPNMIEGGS TGYPLPDKKVLHLG.

[0008] Furthermore, the primers for amplifying the coding region include primer pairs with sequences as shown in SEQ ID NO.6 (5'-CACCATGGGGAGAGGAAAGATCGAG-3') and SEQ ID NO.7 (5'-TTACCCGAGATGGAGGACCT-3').

[0009] A product containing the primers described above includes reagents, kits, or chips.

[0010] Application of the above-mentioned molecular marker composition in seedless grape breeding.

[0011] A method for identifying the seedless trait in grapes includes the following steps: preparing DNA, RNA, and cDNA samples of grapes to be tested, and amplifying them using the primer pairs described above; performing comparative analysis of promoter region labeling, insert fragment labeling, and coding region labeling on the amplified products, and identifying the seedless trait based on the consistency of the results.

[0012] Furthermore, if any two or three of the three markers show that the grapes being tested have seeds, it indicates that the grapes are seeded varieties; if any two or three of the markers show that the grapes are seedless, it indicates that the grapes being tested are seedless varieties.

[0013] Furthermore, the grape samples include one or both of hybrid or self-crossed samples.

[0014] By adopting the above scheme, the method of the present invention has the following advantages: 1. This invention is the first to apply INS markers to the identification of seedless grape traits. It integrates multi-type sequence variation information and innovatively constructs a PRO-INS-CDS combined marker system. This system not only effectively improves the detection rate, accuracy, and stability of seedless grape traits but also successfully optimizes the limitations of single-marker identification, increasing the efficiency of seedless trait identification. This innovative approach not only demonstrates its enormous potential in expanding the detection range of seedless traits but also enables its more precise and efficient application in molecular marker-assisted breeding practices, providing strong technical support for the cultivation of seedless grape varieties and potentially promoting the further development of grape breeding technology.

[0015] 2. By combining PRO marker combinations to identify the nucleus-free trait in hybrid populations and seedling offspring, it is shown that any two markers in the combination markers of this invention can accurately detect the nucleus-free trait. This not only effectively improves the accuracy of marker identification but also expands the detection range of the nucleus-free trait, making it better applicable to molecular marker-assisted breeding.

[0016] 3. Compared with single marker identification, the combined molecular markers of the present invention can effectively improve the identification efficiency of seedless grape traits, expand the prediction range of seedless grape traits, and have the ability to efficiently identify seedless plants from seeded grape samples, providing strong technical support for molecular marker-assisted breeding.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] Preparation example: (1) Five markers with relatively high identification accuracy, namely SCF27, SCC8, P3_VvAGL11, VMC7F2, and VvVn16, were selected for screening of combined markers; then, 143 natural populations of grapes of different varieties were selected as samples to be identified, and DNA and RNA were extracted from the samples; the seedless trait of the 143 natural populations of grapes was identified using the above five types of molecular markers, and their identification rates were compared to screen out the highly efficient seedless molecular marker P3_VvAGL11; (2) Using cDNA from grape population samples as templates, PCR amplification of the VvAGL11 coding region and sequence alignment revealed two specific amino acid mutation patterns in the seedless variety: (1) only the 197 site was mutated, changing from arginine (R) to leucine (L); (2) both the 197 and 210 sites were mutated simultaneously, with arginine (R) at the 197 site changing to leucine (L) and threonine (T) at the 210 site changing to alanine (A). Further validation was then performed using population samples, and the efficiency of CDS markers in identifying the seedless trait was statistically analyzed.

[0020] (3) Based on the grape VvAGL11 gene sequence and PRO marker primer location information published in the NCBI database, specific primers were designed. Through PCR amplification and sequence alignment analysis, a 6 bp insertion sequence was found in the VvAGL11 promoter region (located in the 250–270 bp interval) of all seedless varieties. This insertion segment was named INS. The marker was further validated using population samples, and its efficiency in seedless trait identification was statistically analyzed.

[0021] (4) Develop PRO-INS-CDS combined markers, that is, the three markers should be given priority for two or more identical results as the final identification result.

[0022] Example 1: (1) Nine pairs of hybrid parent lines were used, and samples of the hybrid offspring were collected after they emerged. They were grouped according to Table 1. Note: Since the hybrid offspring of groups c and g were few and not statistically significant, the identification results of the remaining 7 parent combinations, totaling 260 hybrid offspring, were used for statistical analysis.

[0023] Table 1: Parental Combinations of Hybrid Populations serial number Parent Group 1-49 Shaoxing No. 7 × Deep Red Seedless a 50-77 Shaoxing No. 8 × Deep Red Seedless b 78-90 Shaoxing No. 7 × Shaoxing No. 9 c 91-121 Red No. 9 × Red Rose d 122-149 Shaoxing No. 1 × Sapphire e 150-198 Shaoxing No. 8 × Sapphire f 199-210 Red No. 9 × Shaoxing No. 9 g 211-241 Shaoxing No. 7 × Black Extreme Fragrance h 247-285 Shaoxing No. 7 fragrance × Sapphire i (2) Extract DNA, RNA and cDNA from the sample; amplify the products using PCR. The PCR reaction system is a 25 μL system, which includes: 12.5 μL of PCR reaction enzyme; 1 μL each of forward and reverse primers; 1 μL of diluted DNA; and 9.5 μL of sterilized deionized water. The PCR reaction conditions are: 94℃ pre-denaturation for 5 min; 95℃ denaturation for 30 s, 59℃ for 30 s, 72℃ extension for 30 s, 30 cycles; 72℃ extension for 10 min; and storage at 16℃.

[0024] (3) Validation analysis of the high-efficiency molecular marker P3_VvAGL11: A heterozygous site was amplified at 184 bp / 194 bp, denoted as BC; a homozygous site was amplified only at 194 bp, denoted as C; a site was amplified only at 174 bp, denoted as A; a site was amplified only at 184 bp, denoted as B; a heterozygous site was amplified at 174 bp / 184 bp, denoted as AB; a heterozygous site was amplified at 174 bp / 184 bp, denoted as AB.

[0025] (4) INS marker and CDS region cloning analysis of nucleus-free genes in different samples: Using the primer pairs shown in SEQ ID NO.4 and SEQ ID NO.5, PCR amplification and sequence alignment analysis were performed using sample DNA as a template. It was found that the nucleus-free variety had a higher INS marker and CDS region cloning analysis than the nucleated variety. vAGL11 A 6 bp base insertion exists in the 250-270 bp region of the promoter sequence, where 1 / 0 indicates the presence / absence of the corresponding INS base insertion segment in the promoter region, respectively. Using the primer pair shown in SEQ ID NO.6 and SEQ ID NO.7, and with the sample's cDNA as a template, PCR amplification of the VvAGL11 coding region was performed. Sequence alignment revealed two specific amino acid mutation patterns in the nucleus-free variety: (1) mutation only at position 197; (2) simultaneous mutations at positions 197 and 210.

[0026] (5) The nucleus-free characteristics of the sample were finally determined by combining the results of the three identifications.

[0027] Comparative Example 1: The difference from Example 1 is that only PRO labeling analysis was performed to determine the nucleus-free trait of the sample.

[0028] Comparative Example 2: The difference from Example 1 is that only INS marker analysis was performed to determine the nucleus-free morphology of the sample.

[0029] Comparative Example 3: The difference from Example 1 is that only CDS labeling analysis was performed to determine the nucleus-free morphology of the sample.

[0030] The results of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-3 are as follows Figure 1 As shown in Table 2: Table 2: Statistical analysis of amplification results of different nucleoside molecular

Of these, 125 samples exhibited the nucleus-less phenotype, and 160 exhibited the nucleus-containing phenotype. Field phenotypic surveys revealed that 109 offspring plants had the nucleus-less phenotype, and 193 had the nucleus-containing phenotype. When the PRO marker was validated alone, the nucleus-less genotyping detection rate for each of the 7 combinations ranged from 88.89% to 95.24%, the abnormal nucleus-less detection rate ranged from 2.04% to 12.90%, and the marker phenotypic detection accuracy rate ranged from 83.87% to 89.80%. In Comparative Example 2, when the INS marker was validated alone, the nucleus-less genotyping detection accuracy rate for each of the 7 combinations ranged from 66.67% to 90.48%, the marker phenotypic detection accuracy rate ranged from 73.47% to 87.10%, and the abnormal nucleus-less detection rate ranged from 4.08% to 11.36%. When the CDS markers in Comparative Example 3 were validated individually, the accuracy rates for nucleus genotyping detection in each of the seven pairs of combinations were 66.67–80.95%, for marker trait detection were 67.35–81.81%, and for nucleus genotyping anomalies were 7.14–14.29%. Compared to Comparative Example 1, which only analyzed the PRO markers, Example 1 achieved nucleus genotyping detection accuracy rates of 90.48–100%, for marker trait detection accuracy rates of 90.32–96.42%, and for nucleus genotyping anomalies of 0–4.54%. The nucleus genotyping detection rate of the population increased by up to 5 percentage points, with groups b, d, and e reaching a maximum of 100%. The accuracy rates for marker trait detection in each group of the population all improved, with a maximum increase of 7 percentage points, and all seven groups reaching over 90%. The nucleus genotyping anomaly rate of the population decreased, dropping to a minimum of 0%, and groups b, d, and e were able to detect all plants with nucleus genotyping traits. Based on the PRO marker, the combination of amino acid mutation sites in the promoter regions INS and CDS of VvAGL11 was used to identify the seedless trait in hybrid populations and seedling progeny. The results showed that the combined marker of the present invention can effectively optimize and improve the efficiency of single marker identification of seedless trait in grapes, effectively improve the identification accuracy, and expand the prediction range of seedless trait in grapes.

[0031] Example 2: (1) To verify the identification effect of the combined marker in grape seedlings, the 'Kyoho' grape variety was used as the test material, and the seeds were germinated to cultivate seedlings.

[0032] (2) When the grape vine has developed to 5-7 leaves, collect young leaf samples to extract DNA and RNA (reverse transcribe into cDNA).

[0033] (3) Predict offspring traits by combining markers.

[0034] in accordance with Figure 2 The preparation process of A in the figure utilizes INS+CDS combined labeling. Figure 2Forty-eight seedlings of Kyoho grapes, verified by PRO as fully nucleated, were tested, and the results are shown in Table 3. The combined markers of this invention successfully detected two individuals with the nucleus-free trait (numbered 7 and 11), demonstrating that it can expand the detection range of the nucleus-free trait, enabling in-depth detection and avoiding missed detection of individuals with the target trait. This allows for better application in molecular marker-assisted breeding, providing strong technical support for the cultivation of nucleus-free varieties.

Combined with Examples 1 and 2, it can be seen that the detection rate and accuracy of the combined molecular markers of the present invention are significantly higher than those of single molecular markers.
