The invention discloses a
molecular marker related to the high
lysine character of corn as well as a primer group and application of the
molecular marker, and belongs to the technical field of
plant molecular breeding. On the basis of whole
genome re-sequencing comparison, an
InDel molecular marker closely linked with a corn high-
lysine key
gene is found, and the marker is located in a corn
chromosome 7. The invention provides a specific primer group for detecting the marker, PCR (
Polymerase Chain Reaction) amplification is carried out by utilizing the primer group, and identification can be carried out through
agarose gel electrophoresis according to the length polymorphism of an amplified fragment: an individual amplified with a 835bp band is a high-
lysine genotype, an individual amplified with a 610bp band is a common
genotype, and an individual amplified with the 610bp band is a high-lysine
genotype. And the individual with the 835bp band and the 610bp band simultaneously appearing is a
heterozygous genotype. Therefore, the invention provides an efficient and reliable technical tool for molecular marker-assisted
selective breeding of high-lysine corn.
