Abstract:

【Objective】The variations in numbers of copies of a gene is a common and important gene structure variation, which often effects individual phenotype. Low-molecular-weight glutenin subunit (LMW-GS) located at the Glu-3 loci, is an essential part of storage protein in wheat. As a hetero-hexaploid, the huge and complex wheat genome makes it difficult to detect numbers of gene copies by classical methods. A limited information is available about CNV analysis of LWM-GS. To screen reliable and stable internal reference genes and systems for complex genome and explore the CNV determination technology suitable in different wheat varieties, the techniques used for detection of gene copy numbers, based on droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) which improve the detection flux of target gene and determine the particular numbers of gene copies of Glu-3 loci. 【Method】In this paper, Acc1 was used as the internal reference gene. The internal reference primers and probes were designed by using the corresponding gene sequence. In order to analyze stability of numbers of copies of Acc1 in 12 common wheat varieties, we used qualitative and quantitative PCR. The genomic DNA of variety Gaoyou2018 with five different dilutions was used as template, and qRT-PCR was used to analyze the repeatability and accuracy of Acc1 internal reference system (primers and probes).The corresponding specific primers and probes were designed according to the LMW-GS gene sequence of Glu-A3 loci. Two different methods, qRT-PCR and ddPCR, were used to detect the numbers of copies of Glu-A3 loci in eight wheat varieties, in order to determine which method is more suitable for high-throughput detection of Glu-3 loci gene. The specific primers and probes were also designed according to the sequences of LMW-GS gene at Glu-B3 and Glu-D3 loci. The numbers of copies of LMW-GS gene at Glu-A3, Glu-B3 and Glu-D3 loci of 231 varieties were determined and analyzed by ddPCR. 【Result】The results showed that the gene copy numbers of Acc1 was consistent among varieties and different DNA concentrations of the same variety. The coefficient of variation (CV) between repeats was 0.07%-0.77%. It is also indicated from results that the Acc1 internal reference system constructed in this paper has good stability and repeatability. The results of qRT-PCR and ddPCR were consistent in detecting the numbers of copies of LMW-GS gene at Glu-A3 loci in 8 wheat varieties, which were 3, 5, 3, 4, 3, 3, 3 and 3, respectively. However, the CV among repeats detected by ddPCR was 0.30%-1.67%, which much lower than that by qRT-PCR. It showed that using ddPCR method to detect the gene copy numbers of Glu-3 loci gene is more stable and reliable. The numbers of copies of LMW-GS gene were 4 at Glu-A3, Glu-B3 and Glu-D3 having a frequency of 95%, 32.03% 28.57% respectively in 231 wheat varieties. The total variation range in numbers of copies of Glu-3 was 10-21, and the CV was 16.12%.【Conclusion】With good stability and repeatability, Acc1 could be used as internal reference gene for numbers of gene copies detection in wheat. Both qRT-PCR and ddPCR could be used in gene copy numbers detection with wheat genes, but the ddPCR is more simple, stable, reliable and has high detection flux.
