Abstract
Citrus is a major cultivated crop in Japan, and new cultivars are of great interest in the Japanese and global market. Recently, the infringement of breeders' rights to citrus cultivars bred in Japan has become a problem related to the agricultural product export strategy promoted by the Japanese government. Cultivar identification systems using DNA markers are an effective tool for protecting breeders' rights. Here, a novel target cultivar-specific identification system using the chromatographic printed array strip method was developed for eight prominent Japanese citrus cultivars. A polymorphic InDel fragment specific to each cultivar was explored through the screening of published citrus InDel markers and next-generation sequencing of retrotransposon libraries. The cultivar-specific DNA marker set for each cultivar comprised 1-3 polymorphic InDel fragments in combination with a PCR-positive DNA marker for the ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase large subunit gene. The DNA markers were detected within 3 hours from DNA extraction to the detection by the C-PAS4 membrane stick following multiplex PCR. The developed system is superior as a convenient, rapid, and cost-effective DNA diagnostic method during inspection. The proposed target cultivar-specific identification system is expected to serve as an efficient tool for the injunction of suspicious registered cultivars, contributing to the protection of breeders' rights.

PLANTS 2021; 10:plants10122796. [PMID: 34961266 PMCID: PMC8703814 DOI: 10.3390/plants10122796] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2021] [Revised: 12/14/2021] [Accepted: 12/14/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Developing new varieties in fruit and tea breeding programs is very costly and labor-intensive. Thus, establishing a variety discrimination system is important for protecting breeders’ rights and producers’ profits. Simple sequence repeat (SSR) databases that can be utilized for both next-generation sequencing (SSR-GBS) and polymerase chain reaction–capillary electrophoresis (PCR-CE) would be very useful in variety discrimination. In the present study, SSRs with tri-, tetra- and pentanucleotide repeats were examined in apple, pear and tea. Out of 37 SSRs that showed clear results in PCR-CE, 27 were suitable for SSR-GBS. Among the remaining markers, there was allele dropout for some markers that caused differences between the results of PCR-CE and SSR-GBS. For the selected 27 markers, the alleles detected by SSR-GBS were comparable to those detected by PCR-CE. Furthermore, we developed a computational pipeline for automated genotyping using SSR-GBS by setting a value “α” for each marker, a criterion whether a genotype is homozygous or heterozygous based on allele frequency. The set of 27 markers contains 10, 8 and 9 SSRs for apple, pear and tea, respectively, that are useful for both PCR-CE and SSR-GBS and suitable for automation. The databases help researchers discriminate varieties in various ways depending on sample size, markers and methods.
