The present invention discloses
rapid identification of watermelon anti-
powdery mildew gene, relates to knowledge of
plant comparative genomics,
genetics,
bioinformatics and other disciplines, and belongs to the
plant biotechnology science field. The main steps of the invention comprise: 1) downloading the complete
genome sequence of the watermelon, and collecting MLO type
gene; 2) identifying the MLO type
gene; 3) achieving the MLO type gene phylogeny relationship; and 4) comparing the MLO type
powdery mildew gene. According to the invention, the watermelon
powdery mildew gene finding period is effectively shortened so as to easily achieve rapid powdery
mildew gene identification; the corresponding co-segregation function marker (SNP, SCAR and the like) is developed through the identified candidate powdery
mildew gene, the watermelon anti-powdery
mildew gene can further be rapidly used for the molecule marker-assisted selection of the anti-powdery mildew gene, and the accuracy is high; the watermelon anti-powdery mildew gene can be combined with other
disease resistance gene molecule markers so as to create multi-resistance breeding materials, shorten the breeding period, and improve the breeding efficiency; and the foundation is established for exposition of the watermelon anti-powdery mildew molecule mechanism.
