SOYBEAN OLIGOSACCHARIDE-RELATED KOMPETITIVE ALLELE-SPECIFIC PCR (KASP) MARKER AND USE THEREOF
Applicants: JIANGSU ACADEMY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES
Abstract: Provided is a soybean oligosaccharide-related kompetitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) marker and use thereof, belonging to the technical field of molecular breeding. The KASP marker includes one or two of S18_51868868 T/G and S10_38081012 T/C, where the S18_51868868 T/G is a base T or a base G at a 51868868bp position on chromosome 18 of a soybean genome; and the S10_38081012 T/C is a base T or a base C at a 38081012bp position of chromosome 10 of the soybean genome. In the present disclosure, the KASP marker can accurately genotype the traits of raffinose and stachyose contents. Through genotyping, it is found that a soybean germplasm with a genotype GG has a higher raffinose content than that of a soybean germplasm with a genotype TT, and a soybean germplasm with a genotype TT has a higher stachyose content than that of a soybean germplasm with a genotype CC.
Independent Claim:
1. A soybean oligosaccharide-related kompetitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) marker, comprising one or two of S18_51868868 T/G and S10 38081012 T/C, wherein the S18_51868868 T/G is a base T or a base G at a 51868868bp position on chromosome 18 of a soybean genome; and the S10_38081012 T/C is a base T or a base C at a 38081012bp position of chromosome 10 of the soybean genome.
