The invention discloses application of a KASP
molecular marker in identification of resistance to
physalospora piricola of tea trees, and belongs to the technical field of
plant molecular biology. The invention aims to develop the KASP
molecular marker closely linked with the resistance of the
tea tree physalospora piricola and accelerate the process of assisted breeding of the
molecular marker with the resistance of the
tea tree physalospora piricola. The KASP marker for identifying the resistance to the physalospora piricola of the
tea tree is Cs-KASP, and the marker is positioned to an SNP related to identification of the resistance to the physalospora piricola of the tea tree through generic
genome sequence alignment. A group of KASP molecular markers closely linked with the resistance of the tea tree physalospora piricola are developed according to the SNP site. The marker can be used for
genotype detection of different resistant materials of the tea tree physalospora piricola, can be used for successfully distinguishing a
disease-resistant material from a
disease-susceptible material, and is combined with a high-
throughput genotyping detection
system to quickly identify physalospora piricola-resistant
germplasm resources, so that the breeding efficiency is improved.
