The invention relates to the field of
molecular cytogenetics and potato
ploidy breeding, in particular to a potato
ploidy identification method for marking and counting
chromosome centromere based on a potato CENH3
antibody and a
ploidy detection kit. According to the method, the
chromosome centromere is marked by specifically recognizing the
antibody of the potato
centromere nucleosome core
histone CENH3 and combining the
immunofluorescence technology, so that the accurate counting of the
chromosome centromere is realized at the single
cell level, and the ploidy of potatoes is judged. The method comprises the following steps: preparing a
leaf cell suspension, sequentially incubating a potato CENH3
antibody and a labeled secondary antibody after immobilization, and observing and counting by a
microscope after redyeing. The method has the advantages of high species specificity, high
throughput and low cost, is not limited by special material taking parts of root tips or
shoot tips and
cell division periods, can accurately identify the uploid and aneuploid of potatoes, and provides an efficient tool for potato
germplasm resource evaluation and
cross breeding.
