The application discloses a SNP
molecular marker primer for assisting
offspring selection in a short vegetative growth period of an
anthurium andraeanum and application thereof. The application takes a CDC73
gene differentially expressed in different vegetative growth periods of
anthurium andraeanum varieties as a target of a SNP site, and develops a SNP marker primer which is a
molecular marker closely linked to the short vegetative growth period, can quickly and accurately select
offspring in the short vegetative growth period, and has an accuracy of 70.96% in the assisted selection of
offspring in the short vegetative growth period through the SNP marker primer. Meanwhile, a method for assisting selection of offspring in the short vegetative growth period of
anthurium andraeanum by using the SNP
molecular marker is provided, the target traits of the short vegetative growth period can be quickly and accurately selected in a
seedling period, the breeding cycle is shortened, the plants in the non-short vegetative growth period can be directly eliminated, the planting scale is reduced, the breeding efficiency and benefit of the
anthurium andraeanum are improved, and a foundation is laid for carrying out
molecular breeding of the vegetative growth period of the
anthurium andraeanum.
