Abstract:

To improve the selection efficiency of the onion male sterility restorer gene Ms locus and accelerate the breeding process,this study developed a kompetitive allele-specific PCR(KASP)marker suitable for high-throughput detection based on SNP variation sites in the allelic sequence of the AcSKP1 gene. The results showed that the KASP marker KMs4 effectively classified the genotypes(MsMsMsmsmsms)of the Ms locus in an F2 segregating population into three distinct categories,and the genotypes at the Ms locus in the BC1 segregating population into two categories(Msmsmsms). Moreover,the genotyping results fully consistent with those obtained using the AcSKP1 marker. The versatility of the KMs4 marker was further confirmed across materials with known genotypes from diverse genetic backgrounds. Fertility trait evaluation was conducted on collected onion open-pollinated populations,from which different breeding lines were screened and selected for hybrid breeding. In summary,the KMs4 marker is a molecular marker tightly linked to the onion male sterility restorer gene Ms locus,enabling high-throughput genotyping of large-scale breeding materials.
