The invention belongs to the field of
molecular biology, and provides a functional
molecular marker of a
major gene AhNAC2 for regulating and controlling the
oil content of peanut seed kernels and application of the functional
molecular marker. The invention discloses a major site qSOCA08-1 for regulating and controlling the
oil content of peanut seed kernels, and the phenotypic variation of 11.41-20.97% is explained. The qSOCA08-1 is finely positioned in a 352.2 kb physical interval between a No.8
chromosome marker Tif2. A08.38582892 and a No.8
chromosome marker Tif2. A08.38935104, and a
candidate gene of the qSOCA08-1 is confirmed to be AhNAC2. The invention also discloses a method for identifying the qSOCA08-1. The 285th basic group of the coding sequence of the AhNAC2 shows C-A
nonsense mutation between parents Jihuansweet No.1 and W191, and the early termination can cause the function loss of the AhNAC2. A competitive
allele specific PCR
molecular marker is developed on the basis of a C-A
mutation SNP site, the association between the molecular marker and the
oil content of the seed kernel is successfully verified in a peanut
germplasm resource material and a Yuhua 15 * ST001 recombinant inbred line
population, and the important value of the marker in marker-assisted selection breeding of the high oil content of the seed kernel of the peanut is verified.
