- The present disclosure relates to a field of molecular biotechnology, in particular to development of a simple sequence repeat (SSR) core primer group using whole genome sequence of pomegranate and applications in pomegranate variety identification, DNA fingerprinting construction, and genetic diversity assessment and phylogenetic study.
- Microsatellite (Simple Sequence Repeat, SSR) markers are short tandemly repeated motifs of 1˜6 nucleotides that abundantly present throughout the genome. SSRs have the characteristics of wide distribution, codominant inheritance, high polymorphism, convenient detection, and good stability, and are widely used in many research fields such as variety identification, genetic diversity assessment and phylogenetic relationship study, and genetic map construction and quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping. At the early stage of SSR development, the study of SSR markers was mainly based on genomic DNA libraries or specific microsatellite-enriched libraries. Such development methods create heavy workloads, while only a very limited number of SSR markers could be obtained. In recent years, the development of SSR markers based on the whole genome sequence is able to acquire abundant markers, which could cover the entire genome and evenly distribute across the genome, so it is widely used in a variety of sequenced plants.
- Pomegranate was one of the edible fruit trees recognized by humans previously, native to the Persian region (present-day Iran), and domesticated by humans in the fifth century BC. Now, pomegranate is widely cultivated in countries with Mediterranean-like climates around the world, including Tunisia, Turkey, Spain, Egypt, Morocco, the USA, China, India, Argentina, Israel, and South Africa. It is widely consumed in the form of fruits, juice, wines, and medicines due to its nutritional, medicinal, and ornamental values.

- PCR amplification is conducted in 20 μL of reaction mixture containing 1.0 ng of DNA, 0.4 μM of forward primers, 0.4 μM of reverse primers, 4 mM of MgCl2, 400 μM of dNTPs, 1.0 U of Taq-DNA polymerase, and ddH2O to the total volume of 20 μL. Touchdown PCR is carried out under the following conditions: 5 min at 95° C.; followed by 11 cycles, with a decrease of 0.8° C. in the melting temperature after each cycle {30 s at 95° C.; 30 s at 65° C.; 50 s at 72° C.}; followed by 22 cycles {30 s at 95° C.; 30 s at 55° C.; 50 s at 72° C.}; and a final extension of 8 min at 72° C.
- Fragment sizes of the PCR products are determined by capillary electrophoresis. The capillary electrophoresis is carried out by the following operations: the PCR products labeled with 6-FAM or HEX fluorescent dye are diluted 30 times using ultrapure water, 1 μL of the diluted PCR products is transferred to a deep well plate dedicated to DNA analyzer. Each well of the well plate is respectively added with 0.1 μL of GeneScan LIZ500 internal size standard and 8.9 μL of deionized formamide to denature for 5 min at 95° C. and then cool for 10 min at 4° C. After short run centrifugation of 10 s, an automatic fluorescence detection is performed by a DNA analyzer (ABI3730XL).
- (5) Results and Analysis
- The DNA fragments are scored on the basis of allele size. The homozygous allelic variation is recorded as X/X, where X represents the size of allelic variation at the locus. The heterozygous allelic variation is recorded as X/Y, where X and Y are two different allelic variations at the locus, small fragments in the front and large fragments in the back. The constructed fingerprinting of 23 pomegranate accessions is shown in Table 3.

Comparing to the fingerprint data of 23 pomegranate materials, it is found that the number of differential loci between any two of the materials is greater than 3, indicating that the 11 core primer pairs may effectively identify these pomegranate resources. NTSYS-pc V2.10e software is used to calculate the coefficients of genetic similarity among varieties, an UPGMA method is used to conduct a cluster analysis to generate a phylogenetic tree (shown in the drawing).
