Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of crop breeding technology, specifically to a rapid breeding method for high-fiber glutinous highland barley. Background Technology
[0002] Barley is a crop unique to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Thanks to its strong adaptability genes, it has not only adapted to the harsh cold and barrenness of the plateau, but also has unique nutritional value that is different from other crops. For example, the representative glutinous barley has a unique flavor and is rich in nutrients. It has the functions of lowering blood lipids, maintaining blood sugar balance, inhibiting cholesterol absorption, and reducing cardiovascular diseases.
[0003] Currently, in the breeding of highland barley varieties with high dietary fiber and glutinous quality traits, traditional field phenotypic screening of hybrid offspring and multiple generations of self-pollination with homozygotes are generally relied upon. When identifying target traits, especially dietary fiber content, in the early stages, high-throughput, non-destructive, rapid, and accurate screening cannot be achieved. Relying on later chemical testing is costly and time-consuming, which can lead to the omission of excellent intermediate materials and low breeding efficiency. At the same time, when using mutagenesis or hybridization to create variant populations, it is impossible to coordinate the simultaneous improvement and selection of the two traits of high dietary fiber and glutinousness, resulting in selected lines with single traits or poor overall traits. Furthermore, the tracking efficiency of key gene loci during the screening process is insufficient.
[0004] Therefore, a rapid breeding method for high-fiber glutinous highland barley is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a rapid breeding method for high-fiber glutinous barley, which solves the problems mentioned in the background technology, such as the selection of strains having single or poor overall traits, and the insufficient efficiency in tracking key gene loci during the screening process.

Each hydrolysis step is performed in a 36-38℃ water bath for 0.5-1.5 hours under continuous shaking. After hydrolysis, transfer the mixture to a pre-weighed sintered sand crucible for filtration. Wash the residue repeatedly with preheated distilled water (55-65℃), 90-99% ethanol, and acetone. Place the crucible and residue in a container... Dry the residue in an oven at 100-110℃ until constant weight, cool it, and weigh it. The result of this weighing is the constant weight of the residue and crucible, denoted as M1. Then, ashing the residue in a muffle furnace at 520℃ for 4 hours, cooling it, and weighing it again.

[0051] Compared with existing technologies, this invention provides a rapid breeding method for high-fiber glutinous highland barley, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0052] 1. In this invention, during the chemical mutagenesis treatment stage, seeds are induced by preparing a mutagenic solution with specific components. The chemical mutagen contained therein can induce directional variation of the genetic material of barley seeds, broadening the genetic basis of high dietary fiber and glutinous traits, and providing a rich variant population for subsequent screening. At the same time, during the greenhouse cultivation and early comprehensive screening stages, near-infrared spectroscopy is used to non-destructively determine the β-glucan content of individual seeds, realizing high-throughput and low-cost initial quality screening of a large population in the early generation of breeding. This overcomes the bottlenecks of traditional chemical detection methods, such as long cycle, high cost, and inability to be used for early generation selection, thereby improving the screening efficiency of germplasm resources.
[0053] 2. In this invention, during the early comprehensive screening stage, multiple field surveys and comprehensive evaluations are conducted on the key agronomic traits of individual plants in the segregating population, including plant height, stem diameter, ear characteristics, and stress resistance, to ensure that the selected individual plants have excellent yield potential and field adaptability. Near-infrared spectroscopy is then used to initially screen the β-glucan content. This screening strategy, which combines "optimization of agronomic traits" with "initial screening of quality traits," achieves simultaneous and synergistic selection of multiple target traits such as high yield, stress resistance, and high quality. This avoids the limitations of single-trait selection and lays a solid foundation for cultivating breakthrough varieties with excellent comprehensive traits.
[0054] 3. In this invention, during the rapid genetic homozygosity stage, microspore culture of selected individual plants enables the rapid acquisition of doubled haploid lines with homozygous genetic backgrounds, shortening the time required for genetic homozygosity and accelerating the entire breeding process. Subsequently, in the high-generation precise phenotypic selection stage, the total dietary fiber content is determined by enzyme gravimetric method, and combined with glutinousness identification and molecular marker-assisted selection, the quality and key genotypes of homozygous lines are finally verified and selected, ensuring a high degree of consistency in dietary fiber content, glutinousness, and genetic stability of the final bred lines, thereby improving the success rate and accuracy of breeding.

Add phosphate buffer (pH 6), high-temperature amylase, protease, and amyloglucosidase sequentially for stepwise enzymatic hydrolysis. Each hydrolysis step is performed in a 37℃ water bath for 1 hour under continuous shaking. After hydrolysis, transfer the mixture to a pre-weighed sintered sand crucible for vacuum filtration. Wash the residue repeatedly with distilled water preheated to 60℃, 95% ethanol, and acetone. Place the crucible and residue in a 105℃ oven to dry to constant weight. After cooling, the residue and crucible were weighed. The result of this weighing was the constant weight of the residue and crucible, denoted as M1. The residue was then ashed in a muffle furnace at 520℃ for 4 hours. After cooling, it was weighed again.

[0171] The culture medium was applied every 7 days at a rate of 200 mL / m². Soil EC and pH values were monitored regularly to ensure that the EC value was 2.5 mS / cm and the pH value was 7.0.
[0172] The specific procedures for screening agronomic traits in step four include:
[0173] From heading to maturity, conduct at least three field surveys of individual plants in the segregating population;
[0174] The first survey was conducted one week after heading, mainly observing plant height, stem diameter and leaf morphology, and selecting individual plants with a height of 95cm, thick stems and upright leaves.
[0175] The second survey was conducted during the mid-grain filling stage, focusing on evaluating ear traits and stress resistance, and selecting individual plants with a two-row barley ear length of 12cm and a multi-row barley ear length of 10cm, and without obvious disease patches or lodging.
[0176] The third survey was conducted at maturity. The number of grains per ear and the weight of a thousand grains were measured. Individual plants with 30 grains per ear and a weight of 45g were selected for two-ridged barley, and individual plants with 50 grains per ear and a weight of 42g were selected for multi-ridged barley.
[0177] Finally, based on the combined results of the three surveys, the optimal agronomic traits were selected.
[0178] Step five, rapid genetic homozygosity, includes the following steps:
[0179] Microspore culture: The anthers or free microspores of the single plants selected in step four were used as explants and inoculated into the induction medium. By inducing the production of embryoids and doubling the chromosomes, genetically homozygous doubled haploid plants were obtained. The culture temperature was 27℃, the light intensity was 3000 lux, and the culture period was 45 days.
[0180] Step six, the high-precision phenotypic selection, includes the following steps:
[0181] Dietary fiber content detection: The total dietary fiber content in the grains was determined by enzyme gravimetric method, and the screening criterion was that the total dietary fiber content was not less than 20.0%.
[0182] Glutinousness identification: The ratio of amylose and amylopectin is determined by the iodine colorimetric method. Amylopectin ratio higher than 95% is considered glutinous.
[0183] Simultaneously, molecular marker-assisted selection was performed, using SSR or SNP markers to detect gene loci associated with high dietary fiber and glutinous texture;
[0184] Screening was completed within 30 days after heading, with no fewer than 50 grains sampled from each line.
[0185] The specific procedure for the enzyme gravimetric method is as follows:
[0186] Take 1.2g of seed sample, crush and pass through a 70-mesh sieve, and place it in an Erlenmeyer flask. Add phosphate buffer (pH 6.2), high-temperature amylase, protease, and amyloglucosidase sequentially for stepwise enzymatic hydrolysis. Each hydrolysis step is carried out in a 38℃ water bath for 1.5 hours under continuous shaking. After hydrolysis, transfer the mixture to a pre-weighed sintered sand crucible for vacuum filtration. Wash the residue repeatedly with distilled water preheated to 65℃, 99% ethanol, and acetone. Place the crucible and residue in a 110℃ oven to dry. After reaching constant weight and cooling, weigh the residue and crucible. This weighing result is the constant weight of the residue and crucible, denoted as M1. Then, ashing the residue in a muffle furnace at 520℃ for 4 hours, cooling, and weighing again, this weighing result is the total weight of the ash and crucible after ashing, denoted as M2. The dietary fiber content is calculated by [(M1-M2-M0) / M]×100%, where M1 is the constant weight of the residue and crucible after enzymatic hydrolysis, M2 is the total weight of the ash and crucible after ashing, M0 is the constant weight of the crucible itself, and M is the weight of the grain sample.
[0187] The specific operation of the iodine colorimetric method is as follows:
[0188] Weigh 0.15g of dried and pulverized barley starch sample, place it in a test tube, add 10mL of 1mol / L sodium hydroxide solution, disperse in a 95℃ water bath for 20 minutes to completely gelatinize and dissolve the starch, cool, and then dilute to 50mL with deionized water to obtain starch stock solution.
[0189] Pipette 1.0 mL of starch stock solution into a colorimetric tube, dilute with 35 mL of deionized water, then add 1.0 mL of iodine reagent, shake immediately and avoid light exposure, and let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes to allow the color to develop fully.
[0190] Using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer, with the sample dilution without iodine reagent as a reference, the absorbance of the colorimetric solution was measured at wavelengths of 620 nm and 550 nm, respectively, and denoted as A. 620 and A 550 , through (A 620 -A 550 ) / (A620 +A 550 Calculate the ratio of amylopectin to amylose.
[0191] Comparative Example 1: The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that no mutagenic solution was used in the chemical mutagenesis treatment of this comparative example.
[0192] Comparative Example 2 differs from Example 1 in that no dietary fiber promoter was added when preparing the culture medium in this comparative example.
[0193] Comparative Example 3 differs from Example 1 in that the selected individual plants were not cultured into microspores in this comparative example.
[0194] Comparative Example 4 differs from Example 1 in that near-infrared spectroscopy was not used to determine the amount of β-glucan 542B during the early comprehensive screening of this comparative example.
[0195] The breeding efficacy and quality of the high-dietary-fiber glutinous highland barley stable lines bred in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were tested. The test items and methods are as follows:
[0196] The phenotypic variation rate test was conducted by observing and measuring four key agronomic traits in the M1 generation population after mutagenesis treatment: plant height, number of effective tillers, ear length, and heading date. The mean, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation of each trait in the population were calculated and compared with the corresponding data of the original parent population without mutagenesis to assess the breadth of phenotypic variation induced by the mutagenesis treatment.
[0197] To test the activity of key enzymes in dietary fiber synthesis, flag leaf and grain samples were collected from highland barley during the mid-grain-filling stage. The key active units of cellulose synthase and β-glucan synthase were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or spectrophotometry, and the differences in enzyme activity among different treatment groups were compared.
[0198] Genetic homozygosity and trait stability testing: During the strain selection stage, whole-genome SNP markers are used to scan the strains and calculate their genetic homozygosity percentage.
[0199] To test the efficiency and accuracy of early-generation screening, two methods were used in the F2 segregating population: rapid screening using near-infrared spectroscopy and traditional chemical detection. The β-glucan content of the same batch of individual plants was measured, and the time, economic cost, and correlation of the results of the two methods were compared. Finally, the results of chemical detection in later generations were used as the gold standard to calculate the accuracy and false negative rate of early near-infrared screening.
[0200] The test data of the high dietary fiber glutinous highland barley selected in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 are recorded in the table below:
[0201] Table 1: Test Data Record Table
[0202]
[0203] Comparison and analysis of the data in the table show that the high-fiber glutinous highland barley lines bred using the methods in Examples 1-3 outperformed the results obtained in Comparative Examples 1-4 in terms of phenotypic variation rate, key enzyme activity, genetic homozygosity, and screening accuracy. This indicates that in the chemical mutagenesis stage, the seeds were induced by preparing a mutagenic solution with specific components. The chemical mutagen contained in the solution could induce directional variation in the genetic material of highland barley seeds, broadening the genetic basis for high dietary fiber and glutinous traits, and providing a rich variant population for subsequent screening. At the same time, in the greenhouse cultivation and early comprehensive screening stages, the β-glucan content of individual seeds was non-destructively measured using near-infrared spectroscopy, enabling high-throughput and low-cost initial quality screening of a large population in the early generations of breeding. This overcame the bottlenecks of traditional chemical detection methods, such as long cycles, high costs, and inability to be used for early generation selection, thereby improving the screening efficiency of germplasm resources. In the early comprehensive screening stage, multiple field surveys and comprehensive evaluations were conducted on key agronomic traits of individual plants in the segregating population, including plant height, stem diameter, ear characteristics, and stress resistance, to ensure that the selected individual plants had excellent yield potential and field adaptability. Near-infrared spectroscopy was then used for preliminary screening of β-glucan content. This screening strategy, combining "optimization of agronomic traits" with "preliminary screening of quality traits," achieved simultaneous and synergistic selection of multiple target traits such as high yield, stress resistance, and high quality, avoiding the limitations of single-trait selection and laying a solid foundation for cultivating breakthrough varieties with excellent comprehensive traits. In the rapid genetic homozygosity stage, microspore culture of selected individual plants can quickly yield doubled haploid lines with homozygous genetic backgrounds, shortening the time required for genetic homozygosity and accelerating the entire breeding process. Subsequently, in the high-generation precise phenotypic selection stage, the total dietary fiber content is determined by enzyme gravimetric method, and combined with glutinousness identification and molecular marker-assisted selection, the quality and key genotypes of homozygous lines are finally verified and selected, ensuring a high degree of consistency in dietary fiber content, glutinousness, and genetic stability of the final bred lines, thus improving the success rate and accuracy of breeding.
[0204] By comparing and analyzing the relevant data in the table, it can be seen that the high-dietary-fiber glutinous barley strain obtained by the breeding method of this invention exhibits advantages in multiple dimensions, including genetic gain, trait stability, and breeding efficiency. This demonstrates that the rapid breeding method provided by this invention has higher efficiency and reliability.

A rapid breeding method for high-dietary-fiber glutinous highland barley according to claim 9, characterized in that: The specific operation of the enzyme gravimetric method is as follows: Take 0.8-1.2g of seed sample, crush and pass through a 50-70 mesh sieve, then place it in an Erlenmeyer flask. Add phosphate buffer (pH 5.8-6.2), high-temperature amylase, protease, and amyloglucosidase sequentially for stepwise enzymatic hydrolysis. Each hydrolysis step is performed in a 36-38℃ water bath for 0.5-1.5 hours under continuous shaking. After hydrolysis, transfer the mixture to a pre-weighed sintered sand crucible for filtration. Wash the residue repeatedly with preheated distilled water (55-65℃), 90-99% ethanol, and acetone. Place the crucible and residue in a container... Dry the residue in an oven at 100-110℃ until constant weight, cool it, and weigh it. The result of this weighing is the constant weight of the residue and crucible, denoted as M1. Then, ashing the residue in a muffle furnace at 520℃ for 4 hours, cooling it, and weighing it again. The result of this weighing is the total weight of the ash and crucible after ashing, denoted as M2. Calculate the dietary fiber content by [(M1-M2-M0) / M]×100%, where M1 is the constant weight of the residue and crucible after enzymatic hydrolysis, M2 is the total weight of the ash and crucible after ashing, M0 is the constant weight of the crucible itself, and M is the weight of the grain sample. The specific operation of the iodine colorimetric method is as follows: Weigh 0.05-0.15g of dried and pulverized barley starch sample, place it in a test tube, add 5-10mL of 1mol / L sodium hydroxide solution, and disperse it in a water bath at 85-95℃ for 10-20 minutes to completely gelatinize and dissolve the starch. After cooling, dilute to 50mL with deionized water to obtain a starch stock solution. Pipette 1.0 mL of starch stock solution into a colorimetric tube, dilute with 25-35 mL of deionized water, then add 0.5-1.0 mL of iodine reagent, shake well immediately and avoid light exposure, and let stand at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to allow the color to develop fully. Using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer, with the sample dilution without iodine reagent as a reference, the absorbance of the colorimetric solution was measured at wavelengths of 620 nm and 550 nm, respectively, and denoted as A. 620 and A 550 , through (A 620 -A 550 ) / (A 620 +A 550 Calculate the ratio of amylopectin to amylose.
