Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of soybean molecular breeding technology, and more specifically, relates to a KASP molecular marker, primers and their applications related to the size of two soybean pods. Background Technology

[0002] Fresh soybeans, also known as vegetable soybeans, have become a popular specialty economic crop due to their sweet taste, rich nutrition, and convenient consumption. Two-pod soybeans are the main commercial pod type for fresh soybeans. Their pod length and width, among other appearance traits, significantly influence the commercial appearance, market grade, and economic value of fresh soybean pods. Therefore, developing large-pod, high-quality fresh soybean varieties is one of the core objectives of current fresh soybean breeding.

[0003] Traditional screening and identification of the two-pod size trait in soybeans mainly relies on manual phenotypic measurements at the field maturity stage, which has many technical drawbacks: First, the breeding cycle is long, and phenotypic identification can only be carried out when the soybeans are full and mature, making early screening impossible; second, the detection efficiency is low and the labor cost is high, making it difficult to adapt to the screening of large-scale germplasm resources; third, phenotypic traits are easily affected by environmental factors such as temperature, light, water and fertilizer, resulting in poor stability and low accuracy of identification results, which seriously restricts the breeding process of large-pod fresh-eating soybeans.

[0004] KASP (Competitive Allele-Specific PCR) molecular marker technology is a high-throughput genotyping technique based on SNP loci. It boasts advantages such as accurate genotyping, high stability, low cost, and immunity to environmental interference, making it a core technology in marker-assisted breeding of crops. Currently, for the two-pod size trait in fresh soybean, there are still relatively few reported stable associated SNP loci and KASP molecular markers that can be directly used for breeding selection, limiting the application of precise molecular-assisted breeding for this trait. Therefore, identifying key SNP loci for soybean two-pod size, developing dedicated KASP molecular markers, and establishing a standardized breeding application system are crucial to overcoming the current bottlenecks in large-pod soybean breeding technology. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a KASP molecular marker, primers, and their applications related to the size of two soybean pods, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0006] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: This invention provides a KASP molecular marker S02_5725405 related to the size of soybean two-pod pods. The nucleotide sequence of the molecular marker is shown in SEQ ID NO.1. The base at position 200 of the nucleotide sequence is an SNP site with a polymorphism of C or T. Soybean two-pod pods with the TT genotype at the SNP site have a longer and wider pod than soybean two-pod pods with the CC and CT genotypes at the same SNP site.

[0007] This invention, for the first time, identified a SNP locus S02_5725405 at 5725405 bp on soybean chromosome 2, which is highly associated with the length and width of two-pod pods, through genome-wide association analysis. The T allele was identified as the superior genotype for large pods. Based on this, a KASP-specific primer set was developed based on the C / T base variation of this SNP. The 5′ ends of the downstream primers were linked to FAM and HEX fluorescent tags, respectively. Precise genotyping of CC and TT genotypes was achieved through fluorescence signal clustering, with a genotyping accuracy of 100%. Germplasm validation showed that the average pod length (8.701 cm) and pod width (2.066 cm) of two-pod soybeans with the TT genotype were significantly greater than those with the CC genotype. This invention opens a pathway for marker-assisted breeding of two-pod size traits, enabling early screening for large-pod varieties and providing an efficient, stable, and low-cost technical tool for the breeding and germplasm improvement of superior large-pod soybean varieties for fresh consumption.

[0008] The present invention also provides specific primers for amplifying the molecular marker, the primers comprising an upstream universal primer as shown in SEQ ID NO.2, and downstream allele-specific primers as shown in SEQ ID NO.3 and SEQ ID NO.4.

[0009] The present invention also provides a kit for detecting the size of two soybean pods, the kit comprising the aforementioned specific primers.

[0010] Furthermore, the kit also includes 2×KASP Master Mix.

[0011] The present invention also provides the application of the molecular marker, the specific primer, or the kit in identifying the size of two soybean pods.

[0012] The present invention also provides the application of the molecular marker, the specific primer or the kit in soybean breeding or assisted soybean breeding, characterized in that the assisted soybean breeding is the cultivation of large-pod soybeans.

[0013] This invention also provides a method for identifying the size of two soybean pods, comprising the following steps: (1) Extract genomic DNA from the soybeans to be tested; (2) Using the extracted DNA as a template, amplification is performed using the specific primers described above to obtain the amplification product; (3) Identify the genotype of the SNP site corresponding to the amplification product, and determine the size of the two pods of the soybean to be tested based on the genotype.

[0014] The present invention also provides a method for identifying the size of two-pod soybeans. The method is as follows: when the SNP site corresponding to the amplification product is the TT genotype, the soybean to be tested is determined to have the trait of two large pods.

[0015] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention, through genome-wide association analysis, detected a SNP locus S02_5725405 on soybean chromosome 2 that is highly significantly associated with the size of two-pod soybeans, clarifying the association between the T allele and the large two-pod phenotype. Based on this SNP locus, a specific KASP molecular marker and primer set were developed, suitable for high-throughput, large-volume germplasm sample detection, and unaffected by environmental conditions, plant type, or growth stage. The SNP locus discovered and the developed KASP molecular marker in this invention can improve the efficiency of improving large-pod fresh-eating soybean varieties, shorten the breeding cycle, and reduce breeding costs.

[0023] During the R6 stage (grain-filling stage) of soybean, 6-8 healthy, disease-free, and morphologically intact two-pod plants were randomly selected from each experimental plot. Samples were collected and pod images were taken. Phenotypic indices were determined using the minimum bounding rectangle method: the pod length was defined as the longer side of the minimum bounding rectangle, and the pod width was defined as the diameter of the smallest inscribed circle in the width direction. The average of two replicates was taken as the final phenotypic data. Genomic DNA was extracted from 390 soybean germplasms, and whole-genome resequencing was performed to obtain whole-genome SNP variation data. Combined with the phenotypic data of two-pod plant length and width, a genome-wide association analysis was conducted using a mixed linear model (MLM) (reference genome Wm82.a2.v1).

[0024] 2. Experimental Results like Figure 1 and 2 As shown in the association analysis, the 5684011–5729550 bp region on soybean chromosome 2 was significantly associated with the length and width of two-pod pods, and a total of 10 linked common significant SNP sites were identified (Table 2). Among them, SNP site S02_5725405 showed the strongest association signal. This site was significantly associated with both the length and width of two-pod pods, and its corresponding −log 10 The (P) values ​​were 7.06 and 9.04, respectively. A C / T single nucleotide polymorphism exists at this site.

[0025] Phenotypic difference analysis showed that among the 390 tested soybean germplasms, 341 CC genotype germplasms had an average pod length of 7.069 cm and an average pod width of 1.701 cm for two-pod varieties; while 49 TT genotype germplasms had an average pod length of 8.557 cm and an average pod width of 2.039 cm for two-pod varieties. The pod length and width of the TT genotype germplasms were significantly greater than those of the CC genotype germplasms, with a significance level of -log10(P) = 11.80 for pod length and 12.68 for pod width. Based on locus significance, phenotypic differences, and sequence characteristics, S02_5725405 was identified as the target associated locus for subsequent KASP marker development. This locus is located at 5725405 bp on chromosome 2 of the soybean reference genome Wm82.a2.v1.

[0026] Table 2: Significant SNP loci associated with soybean chromosome 2 and pod size. Note: The -log10(P) value in the table represents the significance level obtained from the MLM-GWAS analysis; S02_5725405 is the optimal KASP marker development site; / indicates no data.

[0027] The nucleotide sequence of S02_5725405 is shown in SEQ ID NO.1. The 200th position is the mutation site.

[0029] Example 2: Primer design.

[0030] Based on the C / T variation characteristics of SNP site S02_5725405 described in Example 1, a KASP-specific primer set was designed and developed. The primers consist of an upstream universal primer and two allele-specific downstream primers. The 5′ ends of the downstream primers are respectively connected to KASP-specific FAM and HEX fluorescent adapter sequences to ensure the specificity and accuracy of genotyping.

[0031] The upstream universal primer F is shown in SEQ ID NO.2.

[0032] SEQ ID NO. 2: GCAATCCCTATGAACGCCTA.

[0033] The downstream allele-specific primer R1 is shown in SEQ ID NO.3.

[0034] SEQ ID NO. 3: GAAGGTGACCAAGTTCATGCTGTGTAATATGAAAAGTCTGTCAATG.

[0035] The downstream allele-specific primer R2 is shown in SEQ ID NO.4.

[0036] SEQ ID NO. 4: GAAGGTCGGAGTCAACGGATTGTGTAATATGAAAAGTCTGTCAATA.

[0037] Among them, in the downstream allele-specific primer R1 sequence, GAAGGTGACCAAGTTCATGCT is a FAM fluorescent adapter sequence; in the downstream allele-specific primer R2 sequence, GAAGGTCGGAGTCAACGGATT is a HEX fluorescent adapter sequence.

[0038] A 10 μL KASP-PCR reaction system was used, comprising: 5 μL 2×KASP Master Mix, 1 μL mixed primers, 1 μL genomic DNA (200 ng), and 3 μL ddH2O. The mixed primer solution was prepared by mixing 100 μM downstream primers R1 and R2, and upstream universal primer F with ddH2O; specifically, 2 μL of downstream primer R1, 2 μL of downstream primer R2, 5 μL of upstream universal primer F, and 151 μL of ddH2O were mixed thoroughly to obtain the mixed primer solution.

[0039] The KASP-PCR amplification program used was as follows: 95℃ pre-denaturation for 15 min, 95℃ denaturation for 20 s, gradient annealing from 61 to 55℃ for 1 min (10 cycles, decreasing by 0.6℃ per cycle); 95℃ denaturation for 20 s, 55℃ annealing for 1 min, for a total of 30 cycles, followed by extension at 37℃ for 1 min. After the reaction, the FAM and HEX fluorescence channel signals were read using a quantitative real-time PCR instrument for genotype cluster analysis.

[0040] Genotyping criteria: Detection of only FAM fluorescence signal indicates CC genotype; detection of only HEX fluorescence signal indicates TT genotype; detection of both fluorescence signals indicates CT heterozygous genotype.

[0041] Example 3: Application of KASP molecular markers in the identification of two-pod size in soybeans.

[0042] Seventy soybean germplasm samples from different sources were randomly selected (Table 3). Using the primer set and detection system described in Example 2, genotyping of the S02_5725405 locus was carried out. At the same time, the phenotypic phenotypes of two-pod length and pod width of each sample were measured to verify the effectiveness of the marker.

[0043] The typing results showed that among the 70 accessions, 37 were of the CC genotype and 33 were of the TT genotype. The marker typing was clear, with no blurred or mixed bands, and no false positives, achieving a typing accuracy of 100%. This demonstrates the high specificity and good stability of the primer set of this invention. (See [link to typing results] for details.) Figure 3 A.

[0044] Phenotypic results showed that the average pod length of the TT genotype was 8.701 cm and the average pod width was 2.066 cm; the average pod length of the CC genotype was 6.612 cm and the average pod width was 1.595 cm. Significance analysis showed that the differences in pod length and pod width were extremely significant (pod length P = 6.8 × 10⁻⁶). -9 Pod width P = 1.2 × 10 -8 ), the result is as follows Figure 3 As shown in B and C. The above results demonstrate that the KASP marker of this invention can accurately distinguish between large-pod and ordinary-pod soybean germplasm, and is suitable for molecular-assisted breeding screening of soybeans.
