ABSTRACT

Molecular markers are powerful tools for detecting genetic variation at the DNA level, offering a direct, reliable, and efficient approach for the characterization, conservation, management, and utilization of plant germplasm. Among these, Inter-Retrotransposon Amplified Polymorphism (IRAP) markers target the genomic regions between retrotransposon insertions, revealing polymorphisms based on insertion patterns. This study aimed to develop and validate new IRAP markers for the genetic characterization of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) genotypes. Twelve IRAP primers were designed based on LTR retrotransposon sequences identified in the P. vulgaris genome database and tested in a panel of 22 genotypes, including 11 landraces, 10 commercial cultivars, and one F2 individual derived from a cross between cultivars IPR Andorinha and BRS Estilo. Genomic DNA was extracted from young leaves using a modified CTAB protocol, and PCR amplifications were performed using the newly designed primers. The average polymorphism rate among the markers was 90.67%, and the mean genetic similarity among the genotypes was 0.557. The polymorphic information content (PIC) values ranged from 0.086 (Pv_IRAP_8) to 0.500 (Pv_IRAP_10), with the most informative primers being Pv_IRAP_4, Pv_IRAP_6, Pv_IRAP_7, Pv_IRAP_9, and Pv_IRAP_10. High genetic similarity was observed between some landraces and commercial cultivars, suggesting redundancy within the germplasm collection and highlighting the importance of molecular tools in optimizing genetic resource management in common bean breeding programs.

RESUMO

Marcadores moleculares são ferramentas poderosas para detectar variações genéticas no nível do DNA, oferecendo uma abordagem direta, confiável e eficiente para a caracterização, conservação, manejo e uso de recursos genéticos vegetais. Dentre esses marcadores, os de Amplificação Inter-Retrotransposon (IRAP) detectam polimorfismos em regiões genômicas localizadas entre inserções de retrotransposons, revelando padrões de inserção específicos. Este estudo teve como objetivo desenvolver e validar novos marcadores IRAP para a caracterização genética de genótipos de feijão-comum (Phaseolus vulgaris). Foram desenhados doze primers IRAP com base em sequências de retrotransposons LTR identificadas no banco de dados genômico de P. vulgaris e testados em um painel composto por 22 genótipos, incluindo 11 variedades crioulas, 10 cultivares comerciais e um indivíduo F2 derivado do cruzamento entre as cultivares IPR Andorinha e BRS Estilo. O DNA genômico foi extraído de folhas jovens utilizando um protocolo CTAB modificado, e as amplificações por PCR foram realizadas com os primers desenvolvidos. A taxa média de polimorfismo observada entre os marcadores foi de 90,67%, e a similaridade genética média entre os genótipos foi de 0,557. Os valores de conteúdo de informação polimórfica (PIC) variaram de 0,086 (Pv_IRAP_8) a 0,500 (Pv_IRAP_10), sendo os primers mais informativos Pv_IRAP_4, Pv_IRAP_6, Pv_IRAP_7, Pv_IRAP_9 e Pv_IRAP_10. Observou-se alta similaridade genética entre algumas variedades crioulas e cultivares comerciais, indicando redundância na coleção de germoplasma e destacando a importância do uso de ferramentas moleculares para otimizar o manejo dos recursos genéticos em programas de melhoramento do feijão-comum.

1 INTRODUCTION

Genetic variability of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) present mainly in landraces varieties is essential as a source of genes and alleles for plant breeding. Unlike high-yielding varieties, the landraces varieties maintained by farmers are endowed with high genetic variability because they are not subjected to subtle selection over a long period (Kanwar et al., 2020). Landraces varieties can be used in breeding programs to obtain cultivars that are more productive and resistant or tolerant to biotic and abiotic stresses, and they are able to exploit the existing variability already adapted to the climatic conditions of specific regions (Gonçalves et al., 2016).

Genetic variation and relationships between common bean varieties are evaluated by biotechnological techniques such as molecular (or DNA) markers. These markers may reveal differences between genotypes at the DNA level, providing a more direct, reliable, and efficient tool for germplasm characterization, conservation, and management (Luo et al., 2019). Among available DNA-based
markers, retrotransposon markers are useful for gene mapping, phylogenetic
studies, and genetic variability (Holiloglu et al., 2022; Naeem et al., 2021).

Retrotransposons produce considerable insertion activity, and they have conserved sites that serve to design primers to generate DNA footprints (Kalendar et al., 2011). Retrotransposons contribute to the structure, variation, and diversity of the genome. In addition, they can affect gene function (Kuhn et al., 2016). These characteristics make them an excellent tool for many studies of genetic variability, and the most frequently used retrotransposon-based molecular marker method is the inter-retrotransposon amplified polymorphism (IRAP) (Kalendar and Schulman 2021).

IRAP markers generate polymorphic products from retrotransposons using a single polymerase chain reaction (PCR) facing outward primer (Kalendar, Shustov & Schulman, 2021). IRAP markers have high reproducibility, abundant polymorphism, easy viewing in a single gel run, and wide genome coverage (Silva et al., 2012). Moreover, this method serves to establish pedigrees of lines and understand the evolutionary history and phylogeny of species (Alsayied et al., 2016). IRAP markers have been successfully used to molecularly characterize species like as Vigna unguiculata L. (Walp) (Otwe et al., 2017), Olea europaea L. (Kaya and Yilmaz-Gokdogan, 2016), Vicia faba L. (Tomás et al., 2016), and Hordeum vulgare (Singh et al., 2017).

Thus, the selection of appropriate primers for the genetic analysis of common bean varieties is an essential tool for obtaining reliable data. In addition, the genetic variability of landraces varieties could be an important source of genetic resistance for plant breeders, including alleles for local adaptation, disease resistance, and tolerance to climate adversities.

Therefore, the objective of this study was the assessment of the genetic variability of common bean varieties using IRAP markers. In this study, 12 IRAP primers were designed and used for similarity analysis that provided information about the genetic variability in a group of 22 genotypes of P. vulgaris, including landraces and commercial varieties.

2 MATERIAL AND METHODS

Young and healthy leaves of 22 common bean genotypes were used. This group comprised 11 landraces and 10 commercial cultivars, in addition to an F2 variety resulting from the cross between the cultivars IPR Andorinha and BRS Estilo (Table 1).

The genomic DNA of each genotype was isolated according to the protocol of Doyle and Doyle (1987), with modifications proposed by Lodhi et al. (1994) and Lefort and Douglas (1999). To the tube containing ground leaves, 600 μL of extraction buffer (20 mM EDTA, 50 mM Tris–HCl pH 8.0, 1.1 M NaCl, 0.4 M LiCl, 1 % CTAB, 2% PVP40, 0.5% Tween 20, 0.2 % β-mercaptoethanol) was added and thoroughly mixed. The resulting emulsion was incubated in a water bath at 60 °C for 25 min, and the DNA was isolated by precipitation and successive washes with alcohol.

For the design of the IRAP primers, the LTR (Long Terminal Repeat)-type retrotransposon sequences were located in the Phytozome database (Goodstein et al., 2012), which contains the P. vulgaris DNA sequences (Schmutz et al., 2014). The sequences containing mobile elements and repetitive DNA located in the intergenic regions were found. The default primer-designing parameters used in the RJPrimer program (You et al., 2010) were 20 base pairs, CG content ranging from 40 to 55%, and an annealing temperature of 60 °C. Twelve primers were designed, and all were used for the molecular analysis (Table 2).

PCR amplification of target DNA for each genotype was conducted in a final volume of 12.5 μL, containing: 75 ng of DNA, 12.5 mM Tris-HCL (pH 8.3), 62.5 mM KCl, 2.5 mM MgCl 2.75 μM of each of the dNTP, 0.4 μM of each primer pair and 1 U Taq DNA polymerase. For amplification, the thermal cycler was programmed for initial denaturation at 94 ºC for 5 min, then 30 cycles of 94 ºC for 1 min, the annealing temperature of the primers for 1 min, and 72 ºC for 1 min. At the end of the PCR program, a final step at 72 °C for 10 min was included for the final extension of the fragments.

PCR amplification products were resolved by 2% agarose gel electrophoresis at a constant voltage of 80 V for four hours. The result of the electrophoresis was visualized in UV light and photo documented. To determine the size of the amplified fragments, the molecular weight marker DNA Ladder 100 bp was used.

Amplification products were rated visually for the presence (1) or absence (0) of the fragments being analyzed. The percentage of polymorphism of each IRAP primer was calculated by dividing the number of polymorphic fragments by the total number of amplified fragments.

For each IRAP primer, the PIC (Polymorphic information content) calculation was performed to quantify the genetic polymorphism of the loci under analysis. The PIC was calculated as PICi = 2fi(1-fi) where fi is the frequency of fragments present in the marker at the same locus and 1-fi is the frequency of fragments missing (Roldán-Ruiz et al., 2000).

The similarity matrix among the genotypes was established using the Dice coefficient (Dice 1945). Based on this matrix, the dendrogram was generated from UPGMA (Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Means) cluster analysis using the NTSYS-PC (Numerical Taxonomy and Multivariate Analysis System for personal computers, Version 2.1, Applied Biostatistics, Inc.) software (Rohlf, 2000). To verify the fit of the matrix and the respective dendrogram, the cophenetic correlation coefficient (r) (Sokal and Rohlf 1962) was estimated. The Mantel test (Mantel, 1967) with 1000 permutations was performed to estimate the degree of correlation of the similarity matrix obtained using the NTSYS-PC (Rohlf, 2000).

3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

All 12 IRAP primers showed good amplification profiles for similarity analysis of the 22 P. vulgaris genotypes. PCR products amplified using the IRAP-targeting primer Pv_IRAP_2 are shown in Figure 1.

The total number of fragments amplified by the 12 markers was 458, with a mean of 38.16 fragments per primer. Of the 458 fragments, 371 were polymorphic. The mean percentage of polymorphism among the primers was 90.67%. The number of fragments amplified and the percentage of polymorphism of each primer are shown in Table 2. The largest number of amplified fragments was eight, obtained with the primer Pv_IRAP_4, and the smallest was one with Pv_IRAP_1 and Pv_IRAP_9. IRAP primers generally amplified fragments with individual sizes from 20 to 1600 bp (Table 2).

Although the primers were designed for sequences of each of the bean chromosomes, it was observed that most IRAP markers could amplify different regions of the genome. This feature was expected since the IRAP markers are based on retrotransposons and can be replicated and inserted into any part of the genome.

Retrotransposons are dispersed in the genome, but they can be found in clusters, which makes it possible to use the IRAP technique and detects insertion polymorphisms by amplifying DNA fragments between two retrotransposons (Kalendar et al., 2020).

Fatmawati et al. (2021) analyzed the genetic variability among one hundred interspecific F2 hybrids generated from the cross between mung bean and common bean, where IRAP markers successfully discriminated 100% of the hybrids. The IRAP marker showed high heterozygosity and moderate polymorphism. Carvalho et al. (2010) analyzed the genetic variability among 48 wheat cultivars with IRAP and REMAP markers, and they observed that the mean polymorphism using IRAP markers was 91.15%. Alikhani et al. (2014) studied the genetic variability of Quercus brantii using 10 IRAP primers, and they verified that 97.65% of the fragments found were polymorphic. These studies corroborate the results found in our study. When working with IRAP markers, the percentage of polymorphism can be used as an indicator of genetic variability among genotypes of the same species.

In this study, PIC values ranged from 0.086 (Pv_IRAP_8) to 0.500 (Pv_IRAP_10) (Table 2). The primers that obtained the best values were Pv_IRAP_4, Pv_IRAP_6, Pv_IRAP_7, Pv_IRAP_9, and Pv_IRAP_10, with 0.393, 0.425, 0.427, 0.473, and 0.500, respectively. PIC measures the ability of a marker to detect polymorphisms and therefore has enormous importance in selecting markers for genetic studies; furthermore, the PIC value of each marker represents the probability of the absence and presence of this marker in two random genotypes between the population and ranges from zero to 0.5 monomorphic markers for markers present in 50% of the genotypes (Serrote et al.,2020; Roldán-Ruiz et al., 2000).

PIC is an important primer feature that indicates its potential to differentiate several genotypes (Zargar et al., 2016). Yuan et al. (2012) analyzed the genetic differences among 43 genotypes of Diospyros kaki from nine IRAP primers and observed that the mean value of PIC was 0.26. Alikhani et al. (2014) found that PIC values ranged from 0.26 to 0.42, with an average of 0.32, in Quercus brantii populations.

The study of genetic variability in common bean genotypes using molecular markers and PIC values to select primers or combinations of these was verified by Langarica et al. (2014). The researchers studied the molecular characterization of common bean cultivars in the Mexican semiarid plateau using combinations of AFLP markers, and they found the total value of PIC (0.32). They conclude that combining E-ACA + M-AGA primers is recommended to analyze the genetic variability of P. vulgaris landraces varieties.

However, IRAP primers amplify different fragment sizes that can be used as markers to detect polymorphism of genotypes and to measure the variability or reconstruct phylogeny (Boronnikova and Kalendar 2010).

Regarding genetic variability, data from all 371 polymorphic fragments generated by the 12 primers were used to generate the genetic similarity matrix and to calculate the genetic distance between the genotypes. The cophenetic correlation coefficient was 0.69447, and the mean similarity was 0.557. In the generated dendrogram (Figure 2), it was possible to observe five groups. In the first, the genotypes ANfc 9 and ANfp 110 were grouped with a similarity of 0.837.

The cultivars BRS Estilo and IPR Andorinha were crossed, originating F2, which in the second group was more similar to BRS Estilo with 0.846 of similarity. The third and fourth groups were composed only of local genotypes, with the most similar ones, Land9 and Land10, being in the fourth group. The latter group comprises most of the commercial bean genotypes used in the experiment. The cultivars IPR Siriri and IPR Tangará were grouped, as both have as their parent the cultivar IPR 31. The genotypes Land11 and IAC Imperador presented 0.838 of similarity, considered the most similar of this group (Figure 2).

Concerning the similarity matrix, the lowest and the highest genetic similarity were 0.193 and 0.850, respectively. Nasri et al. (2013) studied the genetic variability among 101 wheat cultivars and improved lines through IRAP markers and observed that the lowest similarity was 0.68 and the highest 0.98, indicating low genetic variability. Comparing the study by Nasri et al. (2013) with the present study, we can observe high variability among the bean genotypes studied. The Land8 genotype was dissimilar, this genotype is a descendant of the Land7, but it originated seeds with gray tegument and black stripes quite distinct from their maternal line, which has a black tegument. Chediak et al. (2007) found a similar case, where the markers detected genetic variation and visual by the phenotypic pattern of the seed, indicating the occurrence of natural crossing in the process of obtaining genetic seed. This corroborates the hypothesis that there was a natural crossing at the time of production of seeds of the Land7 genotype originating seeds with distinct patterns of their maternal progenitor.

Accurate molecular characterization demands markers that produce reproducible data and polymorphism appropriate for the identification and differentiation of taxa. In our study, the IRAP markers revealed high genetic similarity among the common bean genotypes examined, indicating that the commercial and landrace common bean varieties are very similar. In addition, the developed IRAP markers can be used both for selecting parents in a breeding program and for the characterization of conserved germplasm collections.
