The present application relates to the field of
crop genetic breeding and
molecular biology, and particularly relates to a highland barley beta-
glucan screening
index system and a
major gene positioning method, which comprises the following steps: firstly, a three-dimensional
coupling screening
system of
genetic stability,
functional activity and agronomic adaptability is constructed, the index combination weight is determined by using an
entropy weight method and an
analytic hierarchy process, and an AMMI model is combined to correct the
environmental effect and calculate the comprehensive
score of the
germplasm; secondly, a recombinant inbred line and a natural
germplasm double positioning
population is constructed, and near-
infrared spectroscopy is combined with a
Transformer model to quickly obtain
phenotype data; thirdly, a candidate major effective segment is obtained through double
population joint positioning, a major effective
gene is screened out by combining a
transcriptome and a
metabolome co-expression network, and a functional
molecular marker is developed. The present application realizes accurate evaluation of highland barley
germplasm and accurate positioning of major effective genes, and the
phenotype detection is efficient and lossless, the
molecular marker selection is accurate, and the present application can also be applied to other cereal crops.
