Specific amplified polymorphism analysis was carried out with these primers on a set of BB resistance isogenic lines and pyramided lines developed by IRRI. Two PCR bands were revealed corresponding to lines with dominant Xa-4 and those with the recessive allele, respectively, regardless the lines pyramided with other resistance genes. A hybrid with heterozygous Xa-4 produced both of the two allele PCR pattern. Then, the PCR marker was used to survey a range of hybrid rice germplasm. The results of the germplasm survey will be useful in hybrid rice breeding programs aimed at exploiting Xa-4.     

向日葵种子不同部位微量提取DNA用于PCR的研究

探索了从向日葵成熟种子的单粒种子、1/2种子、1/4种子、1/8种子中提取DNA的方法,结果表明,无论是从单粒种子、1/2种子、1/4种子还是1/8种子都能提取质量较好的DNA,对所有提取的DNA,进行RAPD分析,都能得到扩增产物,1/8种子提取的DNA量可保证用于2次PCR扩增。从种子的不同部位提取的DNA与从幼苗中提取的DNA用于RAPD分析,所得结果一致。说明直接从微量向日葵种子提取DNA应用于分子检测是可行的,但直接从向日葵果皮中提取DNA的技术有待进一步研究。

水稻单粒种子DNA提取及RAPD程序的优化研究结果

浙江大学农业与生物技术学院彭锁堂等4位先生,用水稻单粒干种子作材料,进行DNA提取方法和RAPD程序优化研究,结果表明,用CTAB法微量提取水稻干种子DNA,可获得理想的扩增结果,其最佳的反应体系和条件是随机引物浓度100～400μg／L、Mg^2＋浓度2～4mmol／L、dNTPs浓度100～400μmol／L、Taq酶IU。变性94 30S,退火38℃ 30S,延伸72℃ 1min,40个循环;若要节省时间和成本,可不进行预变性处理,其反应体积可降至12．5μl,扩增效果仍与前者一样。这是由于RAPD技术在广泛应用中稳定性差、重复性不好、伪阳性多,而PCR在反应中变性、退火、延伸温度、费时,反应过程有循环数,反应体系中有多种试剂来源,

Pre-germination genotypic screening using PCR amplification of half-seeds

A simple and rapid PCR-based method has been developed for determining the genotype of seeds before germination. Single half-seeds of rice (Oryza sativa L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.) were preincubated, without grinding, in an aqueous extraction buffer. The resulting supernatants were then used in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with oligonucleotide primers corresponding to rice single-copy sequences or a wheat microsatellite repeat. PCR products of identical size were amplified using either the half-seed extract or DNA isolated from leaf tissue. The remnant half-seeds can be maintained in ordered arrays using microtiter plates allowing the recovery of selected genotypes. Pre-germination genotypic screening of seed populations as described in this report should be useful for a variety of applications in plant breeding and genetics studies.     

Enumeration of 16S rDNA of Desulfotomaculum lineage 1 in rice field soil by real-time PCR with SybrGreen detection

Real-time PCR is a new and highly sensitive method for the quantification of microbial organisms in environmental samples. This work was conducted to evaluate real-time PCR with SybrGreen (SG) detection as quantification method for Desulfotomaculum lineage 1 organisms in samples of rice field soil. The method was optimized in several parameters like SG concentration. These allowed quantitative PCR with different primer combinations yielding PCR products with lengths up to 1066 bp and with sensitivities of 10(2) targets for all assays. The detection limit in environmental DNA extracts (rice bulk soil and rice roots) was 10(6) targets per gram dry weight according to the dilution of the DNA extracts necessary to overcome PCR inhibition of humic substances. A verification, that the fluorescence increase was due to specific PCR products, was done by agarose gel electrophoresis since melting curve analysis of the PCR products did not show a distinct peak in the first derivative, when the environmental DNA extracts were used in PCR. Amplification with a primer combination specific for Desulfotomaculum lineage 1 organisms showed an abundance of this group of approximately 2% and 0.5% of the eubacterial 16S rDNA targets in rice bulk soil and rice root samples, respectively. Approximately half of this number was obtained in both habitats with a PCR assay specific for a Desulfotomaculum sequence cluster obtained previously from rice field soil.     

Detection of specific DNA from crude extracts of rice seed grains using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry

To rapidly detect specific genes, crude extracts prepared from rice seed grains were used as templates for PCR, the PCR products were digested with restriction enzymes or urasil-DNA glycosylase, and then matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) was used to detect amplified DNA. It was possible to amplify small DNA fragments (50–60 bp), but not large ones (>200 bp), using crude extracts as the PCR template. This method can be completed within 1 h, including extractions, and is well suited to automation for high-throughput analyses.     

Enzymic Mechanism of Starch Breakdown in Germinating Rice Seeds: III. alpha-Amylase Isozymes

The formation of amylase isozymes in germinating rice (Oryza sativa) seeds was studied by isoelectric focusing on polyacrylamide gel disc electrophoresis. Time sequence comparisons of the amylase zymogram were made between extracts from gibberellic acid-treated embryoless and embryo-attached half-endosperm of rice seeds. In both cases, 4 major and 9 to 10 minor isozyme bands were detectable at the maximal stage of the enzyme induction. However, in the embryo-attached half-seeds, bands started to diminish after the 5th day of incubation, in agreement with the results of time sequence analyses of enzyme activities. Nearly identical patterns of amylase isozyme bands on a polyacrylamide gel disc electrophoresis in combination with isoelectric focusing indicate the intrinsic role of gibberellic acid in the starch breakdown in germinating rice seeds. We tentatively assign the newly synthesized enzymes to be α-amylases based on experimental results concerning the lability of the preparation on a prolonged treatment at pH 3.3 and the stability on heat treatment for 15 minutes at 70 C.     

Classification of rice germplasm. I. Analysis using ALP and PCR-based RFLP

The potential of using a PCR-based approach to detect DNA polymorphism for rice germplasm classification was compared with that of Southern-based RFLP analysis. Thirty-five Iranian rice varieties were studied along with 2 typical Indica and 3 typical Japonica varieties. Thirteen mapped RFLP markers were used as hybridization probes against Southern blots containing digests of one restriction endonuclease; 12 of the 13 probes detected polymorphism in the varieties. Fifteen sets of oligonucleotides derived from sequences near the ends of the same probes and of two other mapped probes were used as primers for PCR amplification of total genomic DNA of the varieties. Amplicon length polymorphisms (ALPs) were detected with 6 of the 15 sets of primers. To identify additional polymorphism, the PCR products were digested with nine different restriction endonucleases recognizing 4- or 5-bp DNA sequences and analyzed by gel electrophoresis in agarose and polyacrylamide. RFLPs were detected for 11 sets of primers, due to point mutations and to addition/deletion events that were too small to be detected as ALPs. Because PCR products are easily generated and may be analyzed in detail through the use of restriction endonucleases that cut rice DNA frequently, PCR-based RFLP analysis is a useful tool for the classification of rice germplasm.     

Radioimmunological evidence for the presence of cyclic-AMP in Hordeum seeds

Cyclic-AMP was found in extracts of barley half-seeds incubated in H₂O or GA₃ for 0·5 or 1·5 hr. This nucleotide varied from 0·2 to 2 nmol/g seed. The cyclic-AMP was virtually eliminated when the extracts were incubated with cyclic-AMP phosphodiesterase.

Detection of plant genes using a rapid, nonorganic DNA purification method

We have developed a simple procedure for the preparation of plant genomic DNA using FTA paper. Plant leaves were crushed against FTA paper, and the genomic DNA was purified using simple, nonorganic reagents. The 18S rRNA gene and the gene encoding the ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase large subunit (rbcL) from the chloroplast genome were detected by PCR amplification of DNA on FTA paper. DNA amplification was successful using extracts from 16 dicot and monocot plants. Studies of specific plant extracts revealed that extracts of leaf samples could be collected and stored at room temperature on FTA paper without a decrease in the DNA amplification success rate for more than a month. Both the 18S RNA gene and the rbcL gene were detected in the genomic DNA isolated from various soybean cultivars stored in this manner. Furthermore, by modestly increasing the number of cycles of DNA amplification, we were able to detect the uidA gene in transgenic tobacco and rice leaves as well as a single copy gene linked to the resistance gene of cyst nematode race 3 using genomic DNA isolated on FTA paper. These results demonstrate that genomic DNA isolated using FTA paper can be used for the detection of plant genes, from a wide range of plants with either high or low gene copy number and of either nuclear or cytoplasmic origin.
