Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of agricultural vegetable variety identification technology, specifically relating to an InDel marker combination for identifying the authenticity of tomato varieties and seed purity and its application. Background Technology
[0002] tomato( Solanum lycopersicum L.) belongs to the Solanaceae family ( Solanaceae Solanum genus ( Solanum Tomato (Tomato germplasm) is an annual or perennial herbaceous plant. Due to the rich nutritional value of its fruits, it has become a widely cultivated and important vegetable crop globally, occupying a significant position in vegetable production. With the rapid development of seed technology, tomato breeding levels have significantly improved, and the application rate of domestically bred varieties in production continues to rise. Against this backdrop, the scientific management and efficient utilization of tomato germplasm resources has become a core key to supporting the sustainable development of the industry.
[0003] Traditional methods of variety identification mainly rely on morphological traits such as plant structure, leaves, and fruits. However, these traits are easily affected by both environmental conditions and the subjectivity of human assessment, leading to significant phenotypic differences in the same variety under different growing environments, which seriously affects the stability and reliability of identification results. In contrast, DNA fingerprinting technology based on molecular markers has outstanding advantages such as high genetic stability, immunity to environmental interference, and high detection throughput, and has become an important auxiliary tool for modern variety identification.
[0004] With the continuous decline in the cost of high-throughput sequencing technology, novel molecular markers developed based on whole-genome resequencing, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and insertion / deletion (InDel) markers, have been widely used. In the genome, the polymorphism frequency of InDel markers is second only to SNP markers, and they can be detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) combined with conventional agarose gel electrophoresis or polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, offering significant advantages in terms of genotyping simplicity and experimental cost. Therefore, InDel markers are considered an ideal source for developing practical molecular markers across the entire genome and have played a crucial role in genetic research and variety identification of various vegetable crops such as tomato, cucumber, pepper, eggplant, cowpea, and Chinese cabbage. However, the number of InDel markers reported in tomatoes is currently limited, and most of the developed markers are based on minute fragment differences of a few to a dozen bases, typically requiring separation using higher-resolution non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis or high-concentration agarose gel electrophoresis. This, to some extent, limits their widespread adoption and application in conventional breeding laboratories. Therefore, developing an InDel marker system that covers the entire tomato genome, is highly polymorphic, and can be rapidly detected by conventional agarose gel electrophoresis is of great theoretical and practical significance for improving the efficiency and accuracy of tomato variety identification, deepening the genetic evaluation of germplasm resources, and supporting molecular marker-assisted breeding practices. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide an InDel marker combination for identifying the authenticity of tomato varieties and the purity of seeds, and its application.

Based on the differences in polymorphism of these markers in different types of tomatoes, core identification marker combinations suitable for common fresh tomatoes, flavor tomatoes, processing tomatoes, and cherry tomatoes were selected, each containing 48, 36, 48, and 48 primer pairs, respectively. Based on these combinations, varietal DNA fingerprint maps were constructed and successfully applied to varietal fingerprint map construction, authenticity identification, and hybrid purity detection, providing technical support for tomato germplasm resource management, molecular breeding, and variety rights protection.

[0042] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0043] Example 1: Filtering Indel Tags 1. Experimental Materials: A total of 288 commercial tomato varieties were used in the experiment, sourced from different breeding units and seed companies both domestically and internationally. These included four types: common table tomatoes (B), flavor tomatoes (K), processing tomatoes (P), and cherry tomatoes (Y), with 72 varieties in each type. These varieties encompassed F1 hybrids and conventional varieties, widely used in commercial production, and thus possessed good representativeness. All materials were cultured in the indoor environment of the Vegetable Research Institute of Shandong Academy of Agricultural Sciences, with the seedling temperature controlled at 26-28℃. Detailed information on different varieties is shown in Table 1.
[0044] Table 1 Tomato varieties tested
[0045] 2. Experimental Methods Genomic DNA extraction: Five individual plants were randomly selected from each tomato variety. Young leaves were collected and mixed, and genomic DNA was extracted using the CTAB method. DNA quality and concentration were measured using a NanoDrop spectrophotometer to ensure A... 260 / A 280 When the value is between 1.8 and 2.0, the DNA concentration should be adjusted to 30-50 ng·μL. - ¹, Store at -20 ℃ for later use.
[0046] InDel marker development: Based on publicly available tomato resequencing data, variant sites meeting the target criteria were screened and primers were designed. The screening criteria were as follows: (1) Insertion / deletion base number 50-150 bp; (2) Minor allele frequency (MAF) > 0.2; (3) Polymorphism information content (PIC) > 0.25; (4) Genotype deletion rate of the site < 10%, and individual heterozygosity < 15%. Reference genome base sequences of 300 bp upstream and downstream of the variant site were extracted using a script written in Perl language, and primers were designed using Primer 5.0 software. The design parameters were: primer length 18-24 bp, GC content 40%-60%, annealing temperature 55-65℃, and expected amplification product size 100-300 bp. The primers were synthesized by Beijing Liuhe BGI Genomics Co., Ltd.
[0047] Based on the screening criteria, a total of 2268 InDel variant sites matching the target were detected across the entire genome, averaging 189 per chromosome. Chromosome 4 had the most (490), while chromosome 1 had the fewest (118). Ten to twelve relatively evenly distributed sites were selected from each chromosome to design InDel primers, and polymorphism verification and screening were performed using four different tomato varieties. After rigorous screening and supplementation, a total of 84 polymorphic InDel markers were obtained, averaging seven per chromosome. The distribution of these markers on the chromosomes is shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the tomato reference genome version is SL4.0.
[0048] 3. Tomato genetic diversity analysis and cluster analysis Twenty-four varieties of tomatoes were selected for each type, and the developed markers were validated and screened using tomato genomic DNA as a template.
[0049] The PCR amplification system consisted of 10 μL of DNA template, 5 μL of 2×Taq Master Mix, and upstream and downstream primers (10 μmol·L⁻¹). -1 0.25 μL of each of the following: 0.25 μL of ddH2O and 2.5 μL of ddH2O. The amplification program was as follows: 94℃ pre-denaturation for 3 min; 94℃ denaturation for 30 s, 55℃ annealing for 30 s, 72℃ extension for 30 s, for a total of 32 cycles; 72℃ extension for 5 min, and storage at 4℃. The amplified products were separated by 1.8% agarose gel electrophoresis, and images were acquired using a Bio-Rad gel imaging system. Genotypes were determined based on band size, coded as: a (homozygous reference type), h (heterozygous type), b (homozygous variant type), and NA (unknown). The observed heterozygosity (Ho), expected heterozygosity (He), polymorphism information content (PIC), and minor allele frequency (MAF) of each marker were calculated using R software. The genetic similarity coefficient between varieties was calculated using the Identity by State (IBS) method. Based on this, the genetic distance is further converted to genetic distance using the formula: Genetic distance = 1 - Genetic similarity coefficient. Based on the genetic distance matrix, a phylogenetic tree is constructed using the unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic means (UPGMA), and the tree is visualized using the ggtree package in R. Principal component analysis (PCA) is performed on the standardized genotype matrix, and the percentage of variation explained by each principal component is calculated using the prcomp function in R, and a scatter plot of PC1-PC2 is plotted. The mean genetic distance within and between each type is calculated, and nonparametric tests are used to evaluate the significance of differences. All statistical analyses and plotting are performed in the R 4.4.2 environment.
[0050] Genetic diversity information and genetic distance matrices for different types of tomatoes are shown in Tables 2 and 3.
[0051] Table 2 Genetic diversity information of different tomato types
[0052] Table 3 Genetic distance matrix among different types of tomatoes
[0053] As shown in the table above, the average expected heterozygosity (He) of the 288 tomato varieties was 0.3693, and the average observed heterozygosity (Ho) was 0.2536. Among the different types of tomatoes, cherry tomatoes had the highest genetic diversity, with an average He of 0.3606, an average Ho of 0.337, and an average polymorphism information content (PIC) of 0.2849, significantly higher than the other three types of tomatoes.
[0054] Cluster analysis results showed that the 288 tomato varieties were mainly divided into four major groups ( Figure 2 The genetic similarity coefficients among varieties basically correspond to the tomato types, ranging from 0.369 to 0.994, with an average of 0.667. The genetic similarity coefficients within each type are: B: 0.5893-0.9702; K: 0.6448-0.994; Y: 0.5-0.9643; P: 0.5119-0.994, indicating that some varieties are genetically very similar and may be highly similar varieties. Table 2 shows that the average genetic distances between cherry tomatoes and fresh tomatoes, flavor tomatoes, and processing tomatoes are 0.4122, 0.429, and 0.4208, respectively, all significantly higher than the genetic distances between other types. This is consistent with the results of PCA analysis (…). Figure 3 The results are consistent with those of cherry tomatoes, further confirming their unique genetic background. Furthermore, the genetic distance between fresh tomatoes and flavorful tomatoes is the smallest (0.2619), significantly lower than their genetic distances with cherry tomatoes or processed tomatoes. Moreover, there is significant overlap between the two in phylogenetic trees and PCA space, indicating a close genetic relationship between them.
[0055] 4. Screening of InDel identification combinations Given the inter-type differences in marker polymorphism, the core marker combinations were streamlined for different types of tomatoes based on the principles of high PIC values, uniform chromosome distribution, and non-tight linkage. Ultimately, 48 pairs of core markers were suitable for identifying common fresh tomatoes, 36 pairs for flavor tomatoes, 48 pairs for processing tomatoes, and 48 pairs for cherry tomatoes. All marker information is shown in Table 4.
[0056] Table 4 InDel Marking Information
[0057] Note: In the table, B represents regular fresh tomatoes, K represents flavored tomatoes, P represents processed tomatoes, and Y represents cherry tomatoes.
[0058] Example 2: Application of InDel markers in identifying the authenticity of common fresh tomato varieties and the purity of hybrids Table 5 shows the 48 pairs of core marker information of common fresh tomatoes selected based on Example 1.
[0059] Table 5. InDel Marker Information for Identifying Common Fresh Tomatoes
[0060] The fingerprint map constructed based on 48 pairs of core markers is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, this method can effectively distinguish different common fresh tomato varieties.
[0061] Two common fresh tomato varieties, “1643” and “1648”, were used as experimental materials. Genomic DNA was extracted, and PCR amplification was performed using the 48 InDel-labeled primer pairs listed in Table 5. PCR amplification products were obtained, and the products were separated by 1.8% agarose gel electrophoresis. Electrophoresis images were obtained, and the results are shown below. Figure 5 As shown, 19 out of 48 InDel markers exhibited differences, indicating that "1643" and "1648" are two different tomato varieties. This demonstrates that the InDel core marker combinations in Table 5 can be used for the authenticity identification of common fresh tomato varieties.
[0062] Using the parental DNA of the tomato variety "Jingfen No. 1" as a template, amplification was performed using 48 pairs of InDel marker primers listed in Table 5. InDel markers showing differences between the parents were selected as the target primer set for hybrid identification. Figure 6 As indicated by A in the diagram, there are 23 pairs of polymorphic markers among the parents. Three markers with clear and stable bands located on different chromosomes were randomly selected: primer sets 4-2, 5-1, and 9-1. These primer sets were used to amplify the genomic DNA of 94 F1 hybrids. The PCR products were detected by agarose gel electrophoresis. Samples with heterozygous bands were identified as hybrids. The seed purity of the hybrids was determined based on the number of plants with heterozygous bands amplified by each target primer set. The identified target primer set can be one, two, or more. When multiple target primer sets exist, the purity of the hybrids obtained from multiple target primer sets can be used to determine the final purity of the tomato hybrids being tested. Specifically: The number of plants showing heterozygous bands and the number of plants without bands for each target primer set were counted. The purity of the tomato hybrids obtained from each target primer set was calculated, and then the average value was calculated. Seed purity calculation formula: Seed purity = Number of plants showing heterozygous bands with a certain target primer set / (N - Number of plants not showing bands with a certain target primer set) × 100%.
[0063] The results are as follows Figure 6 As shown in B, C, and D, each plant exhibits both parental bands, indicating a hybrid purity of 100%. These results demonstrate that the InDel marker in Table 5 can be used for the efficient detection of hybrid purity in common fresh tomato varieties.

This demonstrates that the InDel core marker combination in Table 6 can be used for the authenticity identification of flavor tomato varieties.
[0068] Using the parental DNA of the new variety "Pinfan 1933" as a template, amplification was performed using 48 pairs of InDel marker primers listed in Table 5. InDel markers showing differences between the parents were selected as the target primer sets for hybrid identification. Figure 9 As indicated by A in the diagram, there are 14 pairs of polymorphic markers among the parents. Three markers with clear and stable bands located on different chromosomes were randomly selected: primer sets 1-10, 3-9, and 11-5. These primer sets were used to amplify the genomic DNA of 94 F1 hybrids. The PCR products were detected by agarose gel electrophoresis. Samples with heterozygous bands were identified as hybrids. The seed purity of the hybrids was determined based on the number of plants with heterozygous bands amplified by each target primer set. The identified target primer set can be one, two, or more. When multiple target primer sets exist, the purity of the hybrids obtained from multiple target primer sets can be used to determine the final purity of the tomato hybrids being tested. Specifically: The number of plants showing heterozygous bands and the number of plants without bands for each target primer set were counted. The purity of the tomato hybrids obtained from each target primer set was calculated, and then the average value was calculated. Seed purity calculation formula: Seed purity = Number of plants showing heterozygous bands with a certain target primer set / (N - Number of plants not showing bands with a certain target primer set) × 100%.
[0069] The results are as follows Figure 6 B, C, and D in Table 6 indicate that, except for plant number 62 which has the same genotype as the maternal parent, all other plants exhibit both parental banding, and the hybrid purity is 98.94%. These results demonstrate that the InDel marker in Table 6 can be used for efficient detection of the purity of flavor-enhancing tomato hybrids.

Detect the PCR products by agarose gel electrophoresis, and select 1-3 InDel marker primer pairs that have a relatively large number of heterozygous bands and are clearly located on different chromosomes as the target primer set. Using the genomic DNA of the sample to be tested as a template, PCR amplification was performed using the target primer set to obtain PCR products of each sample under different target primer sets. The PCR products were detected by agarose gel electrophoresis. The sample to be tested with heterozygous bands was identified as a hybrid. The seed purity of the hybrid sample to be tested was obtained based on the number of plants with heterozygous bands under each target primer set. Seed purity calculation formula: Seed purity = Number of plants showing heterozygous bands with a certain target primer set / (N - Number of plants not showing bands with a certain target primer set) × 100%.
10. The use of the InDel marker combination of claim 1 in any of the following: (1) To identify or assist in the identification of the authenticity of tomato varieties and the purity of seeds; (2) To prepare products for identifying or assisting in the identification of the authenticity of tomato varieties and the purity of seeds; (3) Construction of InDel fingerprinting of specific tomato varieties, evaluation of genetic diversity of germplasm resources and analysis of phylogenetic relationships; (4) Tomato breeding; The tomato varieties mentioned include regular fresh tomatoes, flavor tomatoes, processed tomatoes, and cherry tomatoes.
