[0015] Example 1
[0016] This example demonstrates the design of primer sets for detecting SNP sites in the wheat TaWD40-4B.1 gene.
[0017] Previous studies have found that the protein TaWD40, encoded by TraesCS4B02G072200.1 located on chromosome 4B, plays an important role in drought resistance, and its presence is known as TaWD40-4B.1. G (Drought-resistant) and TaWD40-4B.1 A(Sensitive) Two types of allelic variation. Because wheat is an allohexaploid crop, six allele information were found through the IWGSC website (https: / / www.wheatgenome.org / ): TraesCS4A02G242800.1 and TraesCS4A02G242900.1 on chromosome 4A, TraesCS4B02G072100.1 and TraesCS4B02G072300.1 on chromosome 4B, and TraesCS4D02G071000.1 and TraesCS4D02G071100.1 on chromosome 4D. The seven sequences were compared using DNAMAN software, revealing a similarity of over 89%. Based on this information, primers were designed. First, two genotyping primers were designed based on the SNP sites. FAM and HEX adapter sequences were added to the 5' ends of the designed upstream genotyping primers, respectively. The nucleotide sequence of the upstream primer TaWD40-4B-F is: 5'-FAM-TCGACGGGTCCGTCAAGGTCTG-3'; the nucleotide sequence of the upstream primer TaWD40-4B-H is: 5'-HEX-TCGACGGGTCCGTCAAGGTCTA-3'. Then, based on the sequence alignment results, specific sequences were selected for the design of the downstream common primer. The nucleotide sequence of the common downstream primer TaWD40-4B-C is shown in SEQ ID No:2. Example 2
[0018] This embodiment uses the primer set designed in Example 1 for the wheat TaWD40-4B.1 gene SNP site to detect the genotype of the wheat TaWD40-4B.1 gene SNP site.

Five uniform and plump seeds were placed in a germination box, with a layer of filter paper underneath. The boxes were soaked in water in the dark for about 24 hours. After the seeds showed signs of sprouting, the germination boxes were transferred to a light incubator (20℃, 16h light / 8h darkness) and cultured for another 7 days. Leaves were then taken, and plant genomic DNA was extracted using a novel plant genomic DNA extraction kit (TIANGEN, DP320-03).
[0020] Using the extracted DNA as a template, gradient PCR amplification was performed using the primer set designed in Example 1. The primer working solution preparation is shown in Table 1, and the gradient PCR amplification system is shown in Table 2.
