(6) Probe design and DNA microarray production 50- to 75-bp probes were designed based on the genome sequence information in (5). Based on the nucleotide sequence information of the designed probes, a DNA microarray having the probes was produced. 2.
  • Adapter ligation PstI sequence adapters (5'-CACGATGGATCCAGTGCA-3' (SEQ ID NO: 30) and 5'-CTGGATCCATCGTGCA-3' (SEQ ID NO: 31)) and T4 DNA Ligase (NEB; 800 units) were added to the genomic DNA fragments treated in (2) (120 ng each), and the obtained mixtures were treated at 16 degrees C for a full day.
  • the adaptors were selectively added to a genomic DNA fragment having PstI recognition sequences at both ends thereof among the genomic DNA fragments treated in (2).
  • PCR amplification A PstI sequence adapter recognition primer (5'-GATGGATCCAGTGCAG-3' (SEQ ID NO: 32)) and Taq polymerase (TAKARA; PrimeSTAR; 1.25 units) were added to the genomic DNA fragment (15 ng) having the adapters obtained in (3). Then, the genomic DNA fragment was amplified by PCR (treatment at 98 degrees C for 10 seconds, 55 degrees C for 15 seconds, 72 degrees C for 1 minute for 30 cycles, and then 72 degrees C for 3 minutes, followed by storage at 4 degrees C). (5) Labeling The PCR amplification fragment obtained in (4) above was purified with a column (Qiagen). Cy3-labeled 9mers (TriLink; 1 O.D.) was added thereto.
  • Genotype data of possible 3004 markers were obtained based on the signal data detected in 2 above of the NiF8 and Ni9 sugarcane varieties and the progeny line (line 191). Based on the obtained genotype data, chromosomal marker position information was obtained by calculation using the gene distance function (Kosambi) and the AntMap genetic map creation software (Iwata H, Ninomiya S (2006) AntMap: constructing genetic linkage maps using an ant colony optimization algorithm, Breed Sci 56: 371-378). Further, a genetic map datasheet was created based on the obtained marker position information using Mapmaker/EXP ver. 3.0 (A Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research Technical Report, Third Edition, January, 1993).
  • QTL analysis Based on the genetic map datasheet obtained in (1) above and the stalk-length data obtained in (2) above, QTL analysis was carried out by the composite interval mapping (CIM) method using the QTL Cartographer gene analysis software (Wang S., C. J. Basten, and Z.-B. Zeng (2010), Windows QTL Cartographer 2.5, Department of Statistics, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC). Upon analysis, the LOD threshold was determined to be 2.5. As a result, as shown in figs.
  • peaks exceeding the LOD threshold were observed in the following ranges for the NiF8 sugarcane variety: the range between markers N826961 and N825180 present in the 18th linkage group; the range between markers N827910 and N811685 present in the 23rd linkage group; and the range between markers N804812 and N826565 present in the 46th linkage group. It was possible to specify the obtained peaks as shown in table 4, suggesting the presence of causative genes (i.e., gene group) each having the function of causing an increase in stalk length at relevant peak positions.
  • markers located in the vicinity of the relevant peaks are inherited in linkage with causative genes (i.e., gene group) each having the function of causing an increase in stalk length.
  • causative genes i.e., gene group
  • the markers can be used as sugarcane-stalk-length-related markers.
  • 29 types of markers shown in figs. 4 to 6 can be used as sugarcane-stalk-length-related markers.
  • table 5 shows signal levels of 13 types of markers among markers N826961 to N825180 present in the 18th linkage group for NiF8 and Ni9 and their 16 progeny lines (F1_1 to F1_16).
  • the signal levels of N828509 are shown in fig. 7.

Abstract

Cette invention concerne un marqueur relatif à la longueur de la tige de la canne à sucre en rapport avec une caractéristique quantitative de la canne à sucre telle qu'une augmentation de la longueur de la tige. Un tel marqueur comprend une zone d'acides nucléiques continus existant dans une région prise en sandwich entre la séquence de nucléotides représentée dans SEQ ID NO :1 et la séquence de nucléotides représentée dans SEQ ID NO :13, dans une région prise en sandwich entre la séquence de nucléotides représentée dans SEQ ID NO :14 et la séquence de nucléotides représentée dans SEQ ID NO :22, ou dans une région prise en sandwich entre la séquence de nucléotides représentée dans SEQ ID NO: 23 et la séquence de nucléotides représentée dans SEQ ID NO: 29 d'un chromosome de canne à sucre.
