A protocol is described for the extraction of geminiviral DNA from bhendi yellow vein mosaic virus-infectedAbelmoschus esculentus (known as bhendi or okra) containing high amounts of mucilage and other phenolic compounds. This method involves extraction with a buffer containing sodium citrate at pH 6 and PEG precipitation of the virus followed by alkali lysis. The extraction buffer eliminates the mucilage and other polyphenols, PEG precipitates the viral particles and DNA and the alkali lysis enriches the replicative forms of the viral DNA. The extracted DNA could be digested with restriction enzymes and cloned without any interference from chromosomal DNA. The quality of the DNA extracted by this method was compared to three other common plant DNA extraction protocols and was found superior. This method was used for PCR amplification and cloning of the 2.7 kbp DNA-A of BYVMV.  相似文献

Summary In this paper we describe a simple and efficient DNA extraction protocol for Fragaria species, a highly recalcitrant genus due to the large amount of polyphenols and polymeric carbohydrates present in strawberry tissues. The protocol yields a high quality DNA that can be amplified by polymerase chain reaction and digested with restriction endonucleases.  相似文献

Summary Paenibacillus larvae causes American foulbrood (AFB), a severe disease that affects the brood of honey bee Apis mellifera. AFB is worldwide distributed and causes great economic losses to beekeepers, but in many cases early diagnosis could help in its prevention and control. The aim of the present work was to design a reliable protocol for DNA extraction of P. larvae spores from naturally contaminated honey and adult bees. A novel method that includes a step of spore-decoating followed by an enzymatic spore disruption and DNA purification was developed. Also a freeze-thaw cycle protocol was tested and the results were compared. The DNA extracted was used as template for specific bacterial detection by amplification of a 16S rDNA fragment. Both methods allowed the direct detection by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of P. larvae spores present in naturally contaminated material. The spore-decoating strategy was the most successful method for DNA extraction from spores, allowing specific and remarkably sensitive PCR detection of spores in all honey and bees tested samples. On the other hand freeze-thawing was only effective for detection of spores recovered from bees, and extensive damage to DNA affected detection by PCR. This work provides new strategies for spore DNA extraction and detection by PCR with high sensitivity, and brings an alternative tool for P. larvae detection in natural samples.  相似文献

Large amounts of polyphenolics in dove tree leaves make it difficult to obtain high-quality genomic DNA during extraction. A rapid DNA minipreparation method was developed for dove tree (Davidia involucrata) and yields 40–50 μg genomic DNA from 0.1 g fresh matured and young leaves and bracts. The yield and quality of the resulting DNA is satisfactory, and the protocol can be scaled up according to sample size. The obtained DNA is suitable for PCR and the restriction enzyme digestion needed for Southern blotting.  相似文献

The methods employed for DNA extraction from many plants is difficult because of the metabolites that interfere with DNA isolation procedures. We have developed a reliable and efficient method for isolating genomic DNA free from polysaccharide, polyphenols and protein contaminants from Dioscorea spp. The method involves inactivation of contaminant proteins by using CTAB/Proteinase K and precipitation of polysaccharides in the presence of high concentration of salt. The purity of genomic DNA was confirmed by A260/280 and A260/230 ratios calculated from the spectrophotometric readings and further by restriction analysis of the isolated DNA using restriction enzymes Eco RI. The total genomic DNA extracted by the new protocol was used for polymerase chain reaction amplification, RAPD analysis, restriction digestion and pathogen screening. The new protocol can be successfully used for both small- and large-scale preparation of genomic DNA from different tissues of Dioscorea spp. The quarantine of seed tubers and use of pathogen-free tubers for planting is a prerequisite for integrated disease management strategy. The protocol can be used for the isolation of genomic DNA from other crop plants too.  相似文献

Seven DNA extraction protocols were used to obtain DNA from herbarium specimens ofJuncus andLuzula (Juncaceae) of various ages. DNA of historical samples is difficult to extract, and the extracts are seldom of good quality. The quality of DNA obtained was estimated by using a spectrophotometer to measure the A260/280 absorbance ratio. The total DNA yield was measured by a fluorometer. The results indicate the success of using both mixer mill grinding and a DNeasy Plant Kit. Another extraction protocol (grinding with mortar and pestle, using liquid nitrogen) yielded DNA from many samples. Modified CTAB extraction, with a lengthy precipitation, usually provided good amounts of DNA. Other protocols did not give satisfactory results.  相似文献

An efficient DNA extraction protocol and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for detecting Leptosphaeria maculans from infected seed lots of oilseed rape were developed. L. maculans, the causal agent of blackleg, a damaging disease in oilseeds rape/canola worldwide, was listed as a quarantine disease by China in 2009. China imports several millions of tons of oilseeds every year. So there is a high risk that this pathogen will be introduced to China via contaminated seeds. Seed contamination is one of the most significant factors in the global spread of phytopathogens. Detection of L. maculans in infected seed lots by PCR assay is difficult due to the low level of pathogen mycelium/spores on seeds and PCR inhibitors associated with the seeds of oilseed rape. In our study, these two major obstacles were overcome by the development of a two‐step extraction protocol combined with a nested PCR. This extraction protocol (kit extraction after CTAB method) can efficiently extract high‐quality DNA for PCR. Amplification results showed that the detection threshold for conventional PCR and nested PCR was, respectively, 1 ng and 10 fg of DNA per μl in mycelia samples. On contaminated seed lots of oilseed rape, the detection threshold of conventional and nested PCR was 709 fg/μl and 709 ag/μl of DNA, respectively. The DNA extraction protocol and PCR assay developed in this study can be used for rapid and reliable detection of L. maculans from infected seeds of oilseed rape .  相似文献

Five differently preserved groups of adult Rhipicephalus appendiculatus specimens were compared for quality of DNA extracted. Three methods were used to extract DNA from specimens i.e. two simple mosquito validated DNA extraction methods and a tick validated method. Extraction of DNA from tick legs was attempted. The quality of DNA extracted was evaluated by the success of PCR amplification of the ITS2 gene and the mitochondrial COI gene fragment. Fresh specimens (i.e. killed just before extraction) had the highest success of DNA amplification followed by specimens killed in ethanol and subsequently stored in the refrigerator (4 °C). There was no significant difference in amplification success between cryopreserved and 70% ethanol preserved specimens. It was possible to amplify DNA from legs of ticks. Sequenced ITS2 amplicon of template obtained from legs of ticks was as legible as those from whole tick extract. The two mosquito validated DNA extraction methods showed a significantly lower amplification success than the tick validated protocol.  相似文献

Cardamom is an important spice, condiment and medicine, and international commodity. DNA-based molecular profiling will be aid in protecting the intellectual property rights of those who trade cardamom on the world market. Commercial cardamom has so far proven recalcitrant to traditional DNA extraction methods. In this paper we report a protocol for the isolation of amplifiable genomic DNA from traded cardamom. The method involves a modified CTAB (hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide) extraction step, followed by a purification step to remove polysaccharides, proteins, and polyphenols, which are abundant in storage tissue such as cardamom capsules. The yield of DNA was 6–7 μg g−1 tissue. Spectrophotometric and electrophoretic analysis indicated that the isolated DNA was highly pure and of high molecular weight. The isolated DNA could be amplified using different random decamer primers. The protocol has trade implications as it will help in the PCR-based characterisation of traded cardamom. This protocol can be further extended to develop Sequence Characterised Amplified Regions (SCAR) markers for profiling cardamoms.  相似文献

Various investigations have been so far performed for extraction of genomic DNA from plant tissues, in which the extracted intact DNA can be exploited for a diverse range of biological studies. Extraction of high quality DNA from leathery plant tissues (e.g., coniferous organs) appears to be a critical stage. Moreover, for some species such as Taxus trees, bioprocess engineering and biosynthesis of secondary metabolites (e.g., paclitaxel) is a crucial step due to the restrictions associated with extinction of these species. However, extraction of intact genomic DNA from these plants still demands a rapid, easy and efficient protocol. To pursue such aim, in the current work, we report on the development of a simple and highly efficient method for the extraction of DNA from Taxus baccata. Based upon our protocol, interfering phenolic compounds were removed from extraction using polyvinylpyrrolidone and RNA contamination was resolved using LiCl. By employing this method, high quality genomic DNA was successfully extracted from leaves of T. baccata. The quality of extracted DNA was validated by various techniques such as RAPD marker, restriction digestions and pre-AFLP. Upon our findings, we propose this simple method to be considered for extraction of DNA from leathery plant tissues.  相似文献

Conservation of 15 out of 24 previously identified microsatellite loci (62.5%), was found in a survey of the South American oak,Quercus humboldtii. The number of alleles per locus varied from 2 to 20, detecting at least 5 microsatellite loci with 5 or more alleles. This number of loci and alleles is adequate for most studies of genetic diversity and gene flow analysis. In addition, a method for extracting DNA from mature oak leaves is described that minimizes oxidation of tannins, a common problem in silica-gel-dried samples. The microsatellite markers detected in this study and the DNA extraction protocol may be applied to more than 30 species ofQuercus that exist in tropical America.  相似文献

A relatively quick, inexpensive and consistent protocol for extraction of DNA from expanded leaf material containing large quantities of polyphenols, tannins and polysaccharides is described. Mature strawberry leaves, which contain high levels of these secondary components, were used as a study group. The method involves a modified CTAB extraction, employing high salt concentrations to remove polysaccharides, the use of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) to remove polyphenols, an extended RNase treatment and a phenol-chloroform extraction. Average yields range from 20 to 84 μg/g mature leaf tissue for both wild and cultivated octoploid and diploidFragaria species. Results from 60 plants were examined, and were consistently amplifiable in the RAPD reaction with as little as 0.5 ng DNA per 25-μL reaction. Presently, this is the first procedure for the isolation of DNA from mature strawberry leaf tissue that produces consistent results for a variety of different species, both octoploid and diploid, and is both stable and PCR amplifiable before and after extended storage. This procedure may prove useful for other difficult species in the family Rosaceae.  相似文献

A cost-effective, reliable and efficient method of obtaining DNA samples is essential in large-scale genetic analyses. This study examines the possibility of using a threatened vole species, Microtus cabrerae, as a model for the collection and preservation of faecal samples for subsequent DNA extraction with a protocol based on the HotSHOT technique. Through the examination of the probability of multi-copies (mitochondrial) and single copy (microsatellite) loci amplification (including the genotype error) and of the DNA yield (estimated by real-time qPCR), the new protocol was compared with both the frequently employed methods that successfully use ethanol to preserve faecal samples and with commercial kit-based DNA extraction. The single-tube HotSHOT-based protocol is a user-friendly, non-polluting, time-saving and inexpensive method of faeces sample collection, preservation and PCR-quality gDNA preparation. This technique therefore provides researchers with a new approach that can be employed in high-throughput, noninvasive genetic analyses of wild animal populations.  相似文献

A DNA extraction method using Chelex 100 is widely used for bacteria, Chlamydomonas, and animal cell lines, but only rarely for plant materials due to the need for additional time-consuming and tedious steps. We have modified the Chelex 100 protocol and successfully developed a rapid and simple method of DNA extraction for efficient PCR-based detection of transgenes from a variety of transgenic plant and algal species. Our protocol consists of homogenizing plant tissue with a pestle, boiling the homogenized tissue in a microfuge tube with 5% Chelex 100 for 5 min, and centrifuging the boiled mixture. The supernatant, which is used for PCR analysis, was able to successfully amplify transgenes in transgenic tobacco, tomato, potato, Arabidopsis, rice, strawberry, Spirodela polyrhiza, Chlamydomonas, and Porphyra tenera. The entire DNA extraction procedure requires <15 min and is therefore comparable to that used for bacteria, Chlamydomonas, and animal cell lines.  相似文献

An improved protocol for the isolation of DNA from dry material of someHesperis specimens is described. The isolated DNA is suitable for random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis. Different DNA extraction protocols were examined to determine which might yield DNA from dry leaf tissue ofHesperis specimens. The methods examined include the protocols with hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) described by Doyle and Doyle (1987); sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) by Dellaporta et al. (1983); and CTAB and SDS, the modified minipreparation, by Dellaporta et al (1983). None of these procedures yielded DNA of suitable purity for RAPD assay. We established an improved procedure involving CTAB and enzymatic digestion of proteins and RNA. The recovery of DNA with an average yield of 25 mg/g of leaf material was possible with this procedure. RAPD bands, which could be used to distinguish amongHesperis specimens, were generated.  相似文献

A DNA extraction procedure that does not require hazardous materials, such as CTAB, phenols, or liquid nitrogen, was optimized forAnthurium andreanum, a plant rich in polysaccharides and polyphenolics. Three DNA isolation techniques were tested. The modified Rowhani protocol (1983), with slight modifications, was found to yield up to milligrams of DNA suitable for RAPD from spathe and leaf tissues. High-quality DNA was obtained readily from spathe tissues, while a spermine precipitation step was found to be essential when DNA was extracted from the leaf tissues.  相似文献

Isolation of high-quality DNA from rosaceous species is particularly difficult because of their high levels of polyphenols, polysaccharides, and other compounds. The yields and quality of genomic DNA are considerably affected when the common protocol for DNA isolation is applied to the chestnut rose (Rosa roxburghii Tratt). A simple, rapid, and efficient protocol for the extraction of DNA from the chestnut rose is described. The modified hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) procedure, which uses phenol-absent extraction to enhance the yield, involves a washing step before extraction for the removal of organic molecules and excessive water; the use of high concentrations of polyvinylpyrrolidone (2% [w/v]), CTAB (3% [w/v]), and β-mercaptoethanol (3% [v/v]) in the high-salt-concentration extraction buffer to remove polyphenols and polysaccharides; and the combined use of potassium acetate and chloroform to remove proteins and polysaccharides. Finally, DNA is precipitated with an equal volume of isopropanol and 0.1 vol of sodium acetate. This protocol results in high yields of DNA. The average yield of DNA ranged from 980–1800 μg/g of fresh weight of leaves. Downstream results indicate that DNA quality is sufficient for restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analyses.  相似文献

We describe genetic screens, molecular methods and web resources newly available to utilize Dissociation (Ds) as an insertional mutagen in maize. Over 1700 Ds elements have been distributed throughout the maize genome to serve as donor elements for local or regional mutagenesis. Two genetic screens are described to identify Ds insertions in genes-of-interest (goi). In scheme I, Ds is used to generate insertion alleles when a recessive reference allele is available. A Ds insertion will enable the cloning of the target gene and can be used to create an allelic series. In scheme II, Ds insertions in a goi are identified using a PCR-based screen to identify the rare insertion alleles among a population of testcross progeny. We detail an inverse PCR protocol to rapidly amplify sequences flanking Ds insertion alleles and describe a high-throughput 96-well plate-based DNA extraction method for the recovery of high-quality genomic DNA from seedling tissues. We also describe several web-based tools for browsing, searching and accessing the genetic materials described. The development of these Ds insertion lines promises to greatly accelerate functional genomics studies in maize.  相似文献

Based on the protocol originally described by Stein et al. (2001), we have developed a method that allows for medium-term conservation at room temperature of wheat (Triticum aestivum) tissue samples to use for DNA extraction. DNA quality was suitable for analysis by PCR and Southern hybridization, even after 2 months of storage at room temperature. This method allows successive DNA re-extractions from a previously extracted sample and maximization of the DNA yield that can be recovered from precious samples. This method has applications for conservation of leaf samples and management of DNA extraction. Our method can help improve data recovery in many plant molecular genetics research projects.  相似文献

A scale-flexible and cost-efective protocol for plasmid preparation is described to cover miniprep and midiprep scale work in a microcentriguge format for analysis of recombinant clones. this protocol relies on a modified alkaline lysis of Escherichia coli cells and subsequent purification of plasmid DNA with no organic extraction and alcohol precipitation. It can process up to 20 mL of E. coli cells carrying 3–10 kbp plasmid vectors in <10 min. Flexprep delivers sufficient yield and purity of plasmid DNA for routine applications including restriction enzyme digestion and fluorescent automated sequencing.  相似文献
