The present application relates to the technical field of pepper
germplasm resource screening, and particularly relates to
a DNA barcode for identifying the genetic relationship of pepper, a primer set and application thereof. The present application provides
a DNA barcode and primer set for identifying pepper
germplasm resources. The
DNA barcode is obtained according to the SSR sequences of
Zanthoxylum simulans,
Zanthoxylum simulans and
hybrid offspring. The barcode is applied to the identification of pepper
germplasm resources after the correct amplification of the primer set is screened. The experimental results show that the
DNA barcode and primer set can be combined in various forms to identify the genetic relationship of pepper, and the detection cycle is short, the operation is simple, the detection process is economical and saving, the identification result is accurate and reliable, and the
repeatability is good. The present application overcomes the shortcomings of the traditional morphological identification method, such as inaccuracy, time-consuming and laboriousness, and plays an active role in the identification of the genetic relationship of high-quality pepper germplasm resources and genetic breeding. Meanwhile, the present application provides an
effective method for the identification and protection of germplasm resources.
