Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of Chinese kale identification technology, and in particular to a primer set, reagent kit, and application for identifying Chinese kale varieties. Background Technology

[0002] Chinese kale (Brassica oleracea var. alboglabra Bailey), belonging to the Brassicaceae family and the Brassica genus, is a variety of cabbage and is widely enjoyed both domestically and internationally as an important vegetable and economic crop. In recent years, to meet market demand, many domestic research institutions have strengthened the utilization of hybrid vigor and the breeding of new varieties of Chinese kale, leading to a surge in the number of hybrid varieties on the market. Simultaneously, the introduction of numerous different Chinese kale varieties, many of which share similar traits, makes them difficult to distinguish visually. Therefore, research into the genetic background of Chinese kale and the strengthening of new variety management have become particularly important.

[0003] Currently, there is a lack of standard methods for identifying Chinese kale varieties. Only a few publications report studies on the genetic background and diversity of Chinese kale based on molecular marker technologies, such as SRAP (Sequence-Related Amplified Polymorphism) and SSR (Simple Sequence Repeat, also known as Microsatellite DNA). SRAP technology mainly utilizes the differences in GC and AT base content within exons and introns of a species to design unique primers for specific amplification of open reading frames. However, primers that are too long or too short can affect the experiment. Primers that are too long will affect autoradiography observation, while primers that are too short will easily produce multiple bands with poor reproducibility. In addition, gel electrophoresis has limited resolution, making this method unsuitable for variety identification where high accuracy is required.

[0004] SSR technology, based on the high conservation of SSR flanking sequences, designs specific primers for PCR (polymerase chain reaction) amplification and agarose gel electrophoresis, and then performs polymorphism analysis based on the electrophoretic bands. However, this method suffers from limited throughput and insufficient polymorphism, making it difficult to distinguish all varieties and meet the needs of large-scale sample testing. Furthermore, during the PCR reaction, DNA polymerase slippage upon binding to the template easily leads to non-specific amplification. This results in multiple bands appearing during electrophoresis, making it difficult to distinguish between the true genotype band and the slipped genotype band, severely impacting the accuracy of genotyping.

[0005] Therefore, developing detection technologies that can accurately identify Chinese kale varieties has become an urgent technical problem to be solved in the field of Chinese kale identification technology. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this application is to provide a new primer set, kit, and application for identifying Chinese kale varieties.

That is, the forward and reverse primers of primer pair 1 are shown in SEQ ID NO.1 and SEQ ID NO.501, respectively; the forward and reverse primers of primer pair 2 are shown in SEQ ID NO.2 and SEQ ID NO.502, respectively; and so on, with the forward and reverse primers of primer pair 500 being shown in SEQ ID NO.500 and SEQ ID NO.1000, respectively.

[0062] The primers in the above primer set do not interfere with each other, ensuring that each primer pair can react normally in the same amplification reaction and specifically amplify the target gene sequence.

[0063] This example uses the above primer set to identify Chinese kale varieties, specifically including:

[0064] The DNA of the test sample was amplified by multiplex PCR using the above primer set to obtain multiplex PCR amplification products;

[0065] Purify multiplex PCR amplification products;

[0066] High-throughput sequencing libraries were constructed using purified multiplex PCR amplification products to obtain high-throughput libraries of the samples to be tested.

[0067] Purifying high-throughput libraries of test samples;

[0068] Sequencing data was obtained by sequencing the high-throughput library of the sample to be tested.

[0069] Analyze sequencing data to obtain DNA fingerprint data;

[0070] The genetic similarity coefficient is obtained by comparing DNA fingerprint data with control samples;

[0071] Based on the genetic similarity coefficient, the variety identification conclusion between the test sample and the control variety is obtained.

[0072] Specifically, based on the genetic similarity coefficient, the variety identification conclusion between the test sample and the control variety is obtained, including: when the genetic similarity coefficient is greater than or equal to 99%, the test sample and the control sample are determined to be extremely similar varieties or the same varieties.

[0073] In this embodiment, the samples to be tested were the Chinese kale varieties collected by the applicant. Ten representative varieties were selected for the experiment. The ten Chinese kale varieties were: Chinese kale, Hong Kong Chinese medium-flowered kale, four-season thick-striped kale, Dasun yellow-flowered kale (401), hybrid dwarf large-bone kale, red kale, Yangmei yellow-flowered kale, Taiwan Dixian kale king, Xinghui kale, and American sweet and crisp white-flowered chicken leg kale.

[0074] DNA extraction from the test samples: DNA was extracted from the leaves of the above 10 Chinese kale varieties using the Plant Genomic DNA Extraction Kit (catalog number: DP320) manufactured by Tiangen Biotech (Beijing) Co., Ltd. Detailed operating procedures are described in the kit's instruction manual. DNA from 10 test samples was obtained. Then, 1 μL of DNA from each test sample was taken and the DNA concentration of the test sample was determined using a Qubit fluorescence quantitative quantitation instrument. In this embodiment, the DNA concentration of the test samples was measured to be between 20 ng / μL and 50 ng / μL, which meets the requirements for subsequent experiments.

[0075] The primer set designed in this example was used to perform multiplex PCR amplification on the DNA of the test sample to obtain multiplex PCR amplification products.

[0076] Specifically, each amplification reaction system included: 4 μL primer set mixture, 4 μL DNA from the sample to be tested, 10 μL LenoPlexs 3×T Master Mix (manufacturer: Shijiazhuang Borui Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), and 12 μL water. The mixture was vortexed and mixed thoroughly to obtain a multiplex PCR amplification system. The multiplex PCR amplification program was: 95℃ for 3 min; (95℃ for 20 sec, 60℃ for 4 min) × 17 cycles; 72℃ for 4 min to obtain the multiplex PCR amplification product.

[0077] The primer set mixture is composed of equal amounts of forward and reverse primers from 500 primer pairs.

[0078] Purification of multiplex PCR amplification products:

[0079] Specifically, the amplification products after the reaction were then purified using DNA purification magnetic beads (manufacturer: Nanjing Novizan Biotechnology Co., Ltd.). For detailed operating procedures, please refer to the product's instruction manual.

[0080] High-throughput sequencing libraries were constructed using purified multiplex PCR amplification products to obtain high-throughput libraries of the samples to be tested.

[0081] Specifically, 10 μL of GenoPlexs 3×T Master Mix, 2 μL of 5 μM Illumina sequencing adapter primers (manufactured by Borui Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), and 16 μL of water were added to the purified multiplex PCR amplification product, and the PCR amplification reaction was performed according to the following program: 95℃ for 3 min; (95℃ for 15 s, 58℃ for 15 s, 70℃ for 30 s) × 8 cycles; a final extension at 72℃ for 5 min, and the reaction was terminated at 16℃. After the reaction, a high-throughput sequencing library of the sample to be tested was obtained.

[0082] Purifying the high-throughput library of the sample to be tested: Specifically, use DNA purification magnetic beads (VAHTS DNA CleanBeads, catalog number N411-01) to purify the high-throughput sequencing library to obtain the purified high-throughput sequencing library. For specific purification methods, refer to the product instructions of the DNA purification magnetic beads.

[0083] The high-throughput library of the sample to be tested was sequenced to obtain sequencing data. Specifically, the high-throughput sequencing library was sequenced using an Illumina NextSeq1000 sequencer to obtain sequencing data of the sample to be tested. For detailed sequencing steps, please refer to the instruction manual of the sequencer.

[0084] Sequencing data was analyzed to obtain DNA fingerprint data. Specifically, Bowtie2 (version 2.1.0) was used for sequence analysis to obtain the MNP marker for each Chinese kale variety, i.e., the DNA fingerprint data of each Chinese kale.

[0085] Detection rate of MNP markers:

[0086] Multiplex PCR amplification and sequencing library construction were performed using the primer set provided in this embodiment. Multiplex amplification, next-generation high-throughput sequencing and data analysis were performed on these 10 Chinese kale DNA samples. The 500 markers were detected in all 10 samples to be tested. The specific detection information is shown in Table 2.

[0087] Table 2

[0088] Serial Number serial number Variety Name Number of detected sites Detection rate 1 JL240517004 Chinese kale 475 95.00% 2 JL240517011 Chinese Hong Kong Chinese kale 494 98.80% 3 JL240517017 Four Seasons Thick-stemmed Chinese Mustard Greens 487 97.40% 4 JL240517022 Large bamboo shoots and yellow-flowered kale (401) 486 97.20% 5 JL240517029 Hybrid dwarf kale 495 99.00% 6 JL240517047 Red mustard 485 97.00% 7 JL240517059 Yangmei Yellow Chinese Mustard 474 94.80% 8 JL240517014 Taiwan Emperor Immortal Mustard King 487 97.40% 9 JL240517038 Starry Chinese Mustard 480 96.00% 10 JL240517039 American Sweet and Crispy White Chicken Legs and Kale 496 99.20%

[0089] Table 2 shows that the highest number of detected markers was 496 for the Chinese kale variety, with an average of 485.9 MNP markers detected per variety, resulting in an average detection rate of 97.18%. The distribution of MNP marker detection sites in the tested samples is shown below. Figure 1 As shown.

[0090] Accuracy analysis:

[0091] To verify the accuracy of the primer pairs, a reproducibility experiment was conducted on the 10 Chinese kale varieties. This included two independent experiments performed by different personnel, using different batches of reagents, and different instruments. The data from the two experiments for each sample were compared and analyzed. The accuracy of the genotyping was calculated using the formula: accuracy = 1 - (1 - reproducibility) / 2. Reproducibility refers to the proportion of MNP marker sites with consistent genotyping results in the two experiments out of all MNP marker sites. The statistical results are shown in Table 3.

[0092] Table 3

[0093]

[0094] The serial numbers in Table 3 correspond to those in Table 2. Library 1 and Library 2 with the same serial number, such as 1-11 and 1-21, refer to two libraries of Chinese mustard green “JL240517004”, that is, two libraries from two independent experiments conducted by different personnel, with different batches of reagents and different instruments. “Number of comparisons” refers to the number of marker sites compared between the two libraries. “Number of differences” refers to the number of marker sites with different genotypes in the two libraries being compared. “Number of reproducibility” refers to the number of reproducible marker sites in the two libraries, that is, marker sites that are present in both libraries.

[0095] As shown in Table 3, a total of 4819 MNP markers were compared, with 5 non-repeating sites, resulting in a typing accuracy of 99.95%. High marker accuracy indicates that the identification results are not affected by different personnel, different batches of reagents, or different instruments, providing technical support for the sharing of DNA fingerprint data.

[0096] Distinguishing features of MNP-marked varieties:

[0097] All detected MNP marker genotypes from the 10 Chinese kale samples were compared pairwise. Based on the principle that a difference of at least one SNP at the same MNP marker locus across different varieties is considered significant, the number of differentially expressed MNP markers in each pairwise comparison of the 10 Chinese kale samples was counted, resulting in 45 pairs of comparisons. The average difference per sample was 186.64 marker loci, with an average difference rate of 40.65%. The distribution of the difference rate is shown below. Figure 2 As shown. By Figure 2 It can be seen that the selected MNP markers have high polymorphism and can significantly distinguish any Chinese kale variety.

[0098] Chinese kale variety identification:

[0099] DNA fingerprint data is compared with control samples to obtain a genetic similarity coefficient. Based on the genetic similarity coefficient, the variety of the test sample is identified. A variety identification conclusion is obtained between the test sample and the control variety based on the genetic similarity coefficient, including: when the genetic similarity coefficient is greater than or equal to 99%, the test sample and the control sample are determined to be very similar varieties or the same variety. The control sample can be amplified and sequenced together with the test sample to obtain DNA fingerprint data, or it can be amplified and sequenced beforehand and then compared with the test sample, depending on the actual situation.

[0100] Specifically, in this example, another sample of Chinese kale (named DC1) was tested according to the above experimental procedure. The DNA fingerprint data was then compared with that of the 10 samples to be tested to obtain the genetic similarity coefficient. Referring to the existing national standard "MNP Marker Method for Plant Variety Identification," the genetic similarity coefficient was used as the basis for determining the variety identification conclusion. When the genetic similarity coefficient (GS) was greater than or equal to 99%, the sample to be tested and the control sample were determined to be "very similar varieties or the same variety." The results are shown in Table 4.

[0101] Table 4

[0102]

[0103] As shown in Table 4, the number of varietal differences between the DC1 Chinese kale and the 10 tested samples of Chinese kale was 1, and the GS value reached 99.79%, thus it was determined to be a very similar variety or the same variety. However, the number of significantly different varietal differences (235-329 loci) between the DC1 and other kale samples, and the GS value was extremely low (less than or equal to 49.68%), were determined to be different varieties. Therefore, the primer set provided in this embodiment can be used to compare and analyze the DNA fingerprint data of the collected samples with existing data, thereby accurately identifying kale varieties.

[0104] The above description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of this application and should not be construed as limiting the specific implementation of this application to these descriptions. Those skilled in the art to which this application pertains can make several simple deductions or substitutions without departing from the concept of this application.
