Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of plant molecular marker technology, and in particular to a molecular marker, a specific primer set, and its application for identifying resistance of mung beans to bean weevil. Background Technology

[0002] Bean weevils are the most damaging pests in the production of mung beans and other edible beans. Bean weevils are a general term for the family Fabaceae (coleoptera), which includes approximately 1000 species distributed worldwide. Among mung beans, the main pest is the bean weevil (…). Callosobruchus chinensis ) and four-striped bean weevil ( Callosobruchus maculatus There are two types of bean weevils, both of which cause approximately 30% of the annual loss of stored mung beans, and also lead to a decline in mung bean quality and seed germination ability. With the frequent increase in global trade, bean weevils have become the number one pest of edible beans worldwide. Discovering bean weevil-resistant resources, isolating resistance genes from them, designing functional molecular markers for bean weevil-resistant breeding, and cultivating new resistant varieties are currently the most effective and cost-efficient methods for bean weevil control.

[0019] This invention also provides the application of the molecular marker in identifying the resistance of mung beans to bean weevils.

[0020] This invention also provides a specific primer set for the molecular marker, including an upstream primer as shown in SEQ ID NO.2 and a downstream primer as shown in SEQ ID NO.3.

[0021] This invention also provides the application of the specific primer set in identifying the resistance of mung beans to bean weevils.

[0022] This invention also provides a kit for identifying the resistance of mung beans to bean weevils, the kit comprising the specific primer set.

[0023] This invention also provides the application of the kit in identifying the resistance of mung beans to bean weevils.

[0024] This invention also provides a method for identifying the resistance of mung beans to bean weevils, comprising the following steps: (1) Using the DNA of the mung bean sample to be identified as a template, PCR amplification was performed using the specific primer set; (2) Electrophoresis is performed on the PCR amplification products, and the resistance of the mung bean sample to be identified to be bean weevil is determined by the electrophoresis results.

[0025] In some specific implementation schemes, the method for determining the resistance of the mung bean sample to the bean weevil through electrophoresis detection results is as follows: individuals that can obtain three amplification bands have higher resistance to the bean weevil than individuals without amplification bands.

[0026] This invention also provides the application of the molecular marker, the specific primer set, or the kit in cultivating mung bean varieties with high resistance to bean weevils.

[0027] This invention also provides a method for breeding mung bean strains with high resistance to bean weevils. The method involves using the DNA of individual mung bean as a template, performing PCR amplification using the specific primer set, detecting the PCR amplification products by electrophoresis, and selecting individuals that can obtain three amplification bands for breeding.

[0028] Example 1 This invention screened a highly resistant bean weevil material, v2206 (from India, provided by the Asian Vegetable Centre). V2206 was crossed with the bean weevil-sensitive variety, Sulv 1, to obtain the F2 population. The F2 population was harvested based on individual plants. 2:3 Seeds, each individual plant F 2:3 Take 150 seeds, divide them into three equal parts, and place them in a plastic box. Place 12 adult bean weevils (6 males and 6 females) in the box. After three days, observe the surface of the seeds to ensure that there are eggs attached to the surface of each seed. Remove the adult weevils and place the plastic box in a 25-degree Celsius incubator with a photoperiod of 12 / 12 h and a humidity of 30%. After 40 days, remove the plastic box and count the bean weevil hatching rate (number of weevil holes / number of eggs).

[0029] Using phenotypic data (bean weevil hatching rate) and polymorphic molecular markers, the previously identified bean weevil resistance sites were analyzed. Br Fine-tuning was performed to pinpoint the Br site to a range of approximately 500 kb. Analysis of public transcriptome data revealed that a class of RD22 genes exhibited extremely high expression levels within this range in mung bean seeds. However, the full-length expression of this gene could not be amplified in the insect-resistant parent V2206 or other bean weevil-resistant materials. Therefore, this invention hypothesizes that this gene has undergone significant structural variation in insect-resistant materials.

[0030] Therefore, this invention performed third-generation full-length transcriptome sequencing (ISO-seq) on developing seeds of the bean weevil-resistant material V2206. Using the sequencing results as a reference, highly expressed genes within the localized regions were compared. The results showed that a large number of highly expressed RD22 genes were detected in the seeds of these bean weevil-resistant materials. However, these genes showed approximately 90% similarity to the RD22 gene of Sulv 1, with extremely high similarity at the C-terminus but low similarity at the N-terminus, leading to amplification problems in the bean weevil-resistant materials. This invention amplified the full-length sequence obtained from the insect-resistant materials and performed Sanger sequencing to obtain the complete CDS sequence of this gene, named... VrRD22 (SEQ ID NO.1).

[0032] Note: The underlined part indicates the position of the forward primer of the detection primer (SEQ ID NO.2).

[0033] BLAST alignment of the protein sequence encoded by this gene revealed that it belongs to a novel type of cyclic peptide protein in plants. This protein can form the cyclic peptide alkaloid Vginatic Acid A through self-cleavage and cyclization. This substance is toxic to bean weevil eggs, therefore it is inferred that these... VrRD22 This is the source of resistance in mung bean resources resistant to bean weevils.

[0034] according to VrRD22 Due to the sequence specificity of the gene, this invention designs specific amplification primers (SEQ ID NO.2 and SEQ ID NO.3).

[0035] F (SEQ ID NO.2): CACCCGAAGACGAGAATC; R (SEQ ID NO. 3):TTTCACGGGTCAACAACG.

[0036] because VrRD22 The gene's unique repetitive sequence characteristics, in which the preprime (SEQ ID NO.2) is present. VrRD22 The gene (SEQ ID NO.1) has three corresponding locations; therefore, amplification using the primers of this invention in insect-resistant materials can produce three bands of different sizes. Furthermore, these primers can be used with mung bean genomic DNA or cDNA as templates for conventional PCR amplification, both of which can distinguish whether the tested material is resistant to the bean weevil. Figure 2 ).

[0037] The primers are compatible with commonly available DNA amplification enzymes, and can be used to detect anti-bean weevil materials by following the corresponding reaction systems and procedures for each amplification enzyme.

[0038] Example 2 A segregating F2 population was obtained by crossing the bean weevil-resistant parent V2802 with the susceptible parent "Benyangzi". DNA was extracted from individual plants within this population and amplified using the detection primers of this invention (SEQ ID NO.2 and SEQ ID NO.3). Initially, three amplified bands were observed in the DNA of V2802, while no bands were produced in the susceptible parent. In the progeny, 19 individuals with amplified bands and 1 individual without amplified band were selected. Seeds (20 seeds) from these 20 individual plants were then subjected to an insect resistance test in a constant temperature incubator. After weighing, the seeds from each individual plant were placed in a plastic box (7×5×5 cm). 3Five pairs of bean weevils (5 males + 5 females) were placed in each box. Ten days after infestation, the seeds were inspected to ensure that each seed contained at least one egg. At this point, the plastic boxes were placed in a dark environment with a constant temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and humidity of 30%, while maintaining ventilation. Forty days later, the damage rate of the seeds in the plastic boxes was investigated, including the number of insect holes, the number of bean weevils in the box, and the seed weight loss ratio.

[0039] The results showed that the offspring seeds of the 19 individual plants that produced PCR bands all had fewer than 10 insect holes and fewer than 10 adult bean weevils in the test chamber, with a seed damage rate of less than 20%, indicating they were highly resistant to bean weevils. In contrast, the individual plants that did not produce PCR bands had 38 insect holes and a 100% seed damage rate, demonstrating non-resistance to bean weevils. Therefore, this invention can accurately identify highly resistant bean weevils (resources, segregated offspring, etc.) through gene detection, providing a highly efficient and accurate molecular auxiliary tool for breeding mung beans resistant to bean weevils.
