The present application relates to the genetic breeding field of
Xanthoceras sorbifolia Bunge, in particular to a
Xanthoceras sorbifolia Bunge
nervonic acid content tightly linked SNP
molecular marker and application thereof. The present application further designs specific molecular markers and primer combinations thereof based on the SNP site on the 3rd
chromosome of
Xanthoceras sorbifolia Bunge, which is significantly associated with the control of
nervonic acid content, thereby constructing the SNP site tightly linked to the
nervonic acid content of Xanthoceras sorbifolia Bunge, the
molecular marker thereof, the application thereof in identifying Xanthoceras sorbifolia Bunge varieties with high nervonic
acid content, and the identification method. The identification method has high accuracy and greatly improves the identification efficiency, and provides a practical tool that can be popularized for large-scale
germplasm resource screening. In addition, the SNP marker of the present application is located on the
intron of the KCS
gene, which provides a theoretical basis for subsequent KCS
gene research. The present application provides convenience for variety trait improvement and the like, and the development of the SNP marker has important significance for the cultivation of Xanthoceras sorbifolia Bunge varieties with high nervonic
acid content.
