Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of molecular biology, and more specifically to the application of an SNP molecular marker for regulating the number of rice tillers and its KASP detection primer set. Background Technology

[0002] Rice is an important food crop. Its final yield is determined by three key factors: thousand-grain weight, effective panicle number, and number of grains per panicle. The number of tillers directly affects the number of panicles, making it a crucial factor influencing yield per rice plant. Appropriately increasing the number of tillers can increase the number of effective panicles per unit area, thereby increasing the yield per rice plant per unit area. Therefore, cultivating rice varieties with a higher tiller count is of great significance for improving yield per rice plant and ensuring food security.

[0003] However, traditional rice breeding methods are time-consuming and inefficient, making it difficult to meet current breeding needs. With the development of molecular biology and genetic engineering technologies, improving rice growth traits through genetic engineering has become an effective breeding strategy. However, the number of functional genes related to secondary growth in poplar trees is currently limited.

[0004] Therefore, cultivating rice germplasm with increased tiller number through molecular biology and genetic engineering techniques is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0011] Another objective of this invention is to provide a method for detecting and / or predicting the number of tillers in rice, which involves amplifying and genotyping the genomic DNA of the rice to be tested using the aforementioned detection primer set or the aforementioned detection kit. When the genotype is homozygous AA, it is a high-tillering-number material, and when the genotype is homozygous GG, it is a low-tillering-number material.

[0012] Preferably, the PCR system used to amplify the genomic DNA of the rice to be tested includes: ddH2O, 2×PARMS mix, R primer, F1 primer and F2 primer, and their volume ratio is 4.3:5:0.4:0.15:0.15.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0021] Unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods used in the following examples are conventional methods, performed according to the techniques or conditions described in the literature in this field or according to the product instructions. Unless otherwise specified, the materials and reagents used in the following examples are commercially available.

[0022] Example 1 Test materials: The recombinant inbred line population constructed from Zhenshan 97B (with a high number of tillers and high yield per plant), IRAT109 (with a low number of tillers and low yield per plant) and 194 accessions of “Zhenshan 97B / IRAT109” was used as the test materials in this embodiment.

[0023] Tiller number counting method: After rice matures, the number of rice tillers is counted, with 8 plants counted for each replicate, and 3 biological replicates are counted.

[0024] SNPs in the chromosome 1 region of the tested materials were extracted and analyzed, and genotyping was performed using the KASP technique.

[0025] Specifically: (1) Extraction of genomic DNA In a mortar, take 10 mg of rice leaves, add an appropriate amount of liquid nitrogen, and grind the rice leaves into powder. Add 400 μL of 1.5 × CTAB (1.5% CTAB, 75 mmol / L Tris-HCl, 15 mmol / L EDTA, 1.05 mol / L NaCl, pH = 8.0) and grind into a homogenate. Add another 400 μL of 1.5 × CTAB, transfer the homogenate to a 1.5 ml centrifuge tube, add 550 μL of chloroform, mix well, centrifuge at 12000 r / min for 10 min, transfer the supernatant to another centrifuge tube, add an equal volume of pre-cooled isopropanol, centrifuge at 12000 r / min for 5 min, discard the supernatant, dry the precipitate, and finally add 200 μL of ddH2O to dissolve.

[0026] (2) PCR amplification PCR amplification system (10 μL): ddH2O 3.3μL 2×PARMS mix 5μL 1 μL DNA (50 ng / μL) 0.4 μL (10 μmol / L) of R primer 0.15 μL (10 μmol / L) of F1 primer 0.15 μL (10 μmol / L) of F2 primer The PCR reaction program was as follows: ① 94℃ pre-denaturation for 20 min; ② 94℃ denaturation for 20 s, 65-57℃ (-0.8℃ / Cycle) for 1 min, for 10 cycles; ③ 94℃ denaturation for 20 s, 57℃ for 1 min, for 32 cycles; ④ 25℃ for 1 min.

[0027] (3) Genotyping: After PCR, the fluorescence signal was read using a TECAN Infinite M1000 microplate reader, and then the fluorescence signal was analyzed and converted using the online software snpdecoder (http: / / www.snpway.com / snpdecoder / ) to obtain a clear and intuitive genotyping diagram. The genotype results were output according to the different colors.

[0028] KASP detection primers are pre-selected with fluorescent linkers F1-FAM and F2-HEX, which are displayed in different colors on the genotyping map (e.g., green for AA genotype, blue for GG genotype, and red for AG genotype). If the material being tested is homozygous, only one corresponding primer will be selected for amplification. The fluorescence difference indicates whether the tested material is homozygous AA or GG. If the material being tested is heterozygous, both primers will amplify, producing a third fluorescent signal, thus distinguishing heterozygous genotypes.

[0029] (4) Test results In this embodiment, by screening molecular markers, a SNP molecular marker closely linked to the tiller number trait in rice was finally obtained. This SNP molecular marker is located at 0107248534 bp on chromosome 1 of the rice reference genome (Nipponbare reference genome MSU6.1), and is divided into genotype A and genotype G.

[0030] For this SNP, the following KASP detection primer set was developed: F1:FAM-GAAGGTGACCAAGTTCATGCTCGTTAGATTAGGTCATAGGAAAAACA, SEQ ID NO.1; F2:HEX-GAAGGTCGGAGTCAACGGATTCGTTAGATTAGGTCATAGGAAAAACAT, SEQ ID NO.2; R: AATGGTTCATTGCATGTAGGAGAG, SEQ ID NO. 3.

[0031] The genotyping results are attached. Figure 1 As shown, in the 'Zhenshan 97 / IRAT 109' recombinant inbred line population, the number of tillers in the lines carrying the Zhenshan 97 allele (SNP0107248534-A type, 107 lines) was significantly higher than that in the lines carrying the IRAT 109 allele (SNP0107248534-G type, 87 lines), with a P value of 2.82E-03.

[0032] Example 2 This embodiment is a verification experiment, and the materials used are the 245 natural population materials shown in Table 1.

[0033] Table 1

[0034] The number of tillers in 245 materials was counted according to the method in Example 1; and the yield per plant was measured after the rice matured.

[0035] Genomic DNA was extracted from 245 rice samples using the method described in Example 1, and amplified using the KASP detection primer set (SEQ ID NO.1-SEQ ID NO.3) developed in Example 1. After amplification, fluorescence signals were detected and genotyping was analyzed.

[0036] The genotyping results are attached. Figure 2 As shown, in the natural population, the number of tillers of the SNP0107248534-A germplasm resource (95 accessions) was significantly higher than that of the SNP0107248534-G germplasm resource (146 accessions), with a P value of 7.78E-10; at the same time, the yield per plant of the SNP0107248534-A germplasm resource (95 accessions) was also significantly higher than that of the SNP0107248534-G germplasm resource (146 accessions), with a P value of 1.90E-26.

[0037] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.
