Adaptor Ligation-Based Polymerase Chain Reaction-Mediated Walking

An improved method of adaptor ligation PCR was developed for isolation of unknown sequences flanking a known DNA sequence. It was determined that the specificity of the adaptor ligation-based walking technique could be significantly enhanced by using uniquely blocked adaptors along with removal of unligated genomic DNA by exonuclease III digestion. This technique was utilized to isolate three novel promoter regions from three differentZea mays(maize) peroxidase genes. Sequences encoding a putative maize 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase gene were also isolated and confirmed by sequence analysis. The described improvements could be applied to other existing adaptor ligation-based PCR walking techniques.     

A multiplex real-time PCR method using hybridization probes for the detection and the quantification of Fusarium proliferatum, F. subglutinans, F. temperatum, and F. verticillioides

Maize contamination with Fusarium species is one of the major sources of mycotoxins in food and feed derivates. In the present study, a LightCycler^® real-time PCR method using hybridization probes was developed for the specific identification, detection, and quantification of Fusarium proliferatum, Fusarium subglutinans, Fusarium temperatum, and Fusarium verticillioides, four mycotoxin-producing pathogens of maize. Primers and hybridization probes were designed to target the translation elongation factor 1α (EF-1α) gene of F. subglutinans and F. temperatum or the calmodulin (Cal) gene of F. proliferatum and F. verticillioides. The specificity of the real-time PCR assays was confirmed for the four Fusarium species, giving no amplification with DNA from other fungal species commonly recovered from maize. The assays were found to be sensitive, detecting down to 5 pg and 50 pg of Fusarium DNA in simplex and multiplex conditions respectively, and were able to quantify pg-amounts of Fusarium DNA in artificially Fusarium-contaminated maize samples. The real-time PCR method developed provides a useful tool for routine identification, detection, and quantification of toxigenic Fusarium species in maize.

Synthesis of maize chloroplast ATP-synthase beta-subunit fusion proteins in Escherichia coli and binding to the inner membrane

The maize chloroplast gene for the beta subunit (atpB) of the chloroplast CF1 component of ATPase from maize, when fused to either the lacZ or ral genes in the vectors pMC1403 or pHUB4, is expressed in Escherichia coli as a fusion protein with beta-galactosidase or with bacteriophage lambda Ral sequences. Some of the fusion proteins are converted to a membrane-bound form, as determined by differential and sucrose-gradient centrifugation. The specificity of membrane binding has been examined using E. coli unc mutants that are defective in binding of the F1 ATPase component to the F0 receptor site on the membrane, and by the use of two different length maize atpB::lacZ gene fusions. We show that the first 365 N-terminal amino acids (aa) of the maize beta subunit are involved in binding to the E. coli inner membrane, and that this binding is probably mediated by the bacterial F0 receptor.     

耐除草剂玉米G1105E-823C定性检测方法

Multiplex polymerase chain reaction and ligation detection reaction/universal array technology for the traceability of genetically modified organisms in foods

A multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) system was developed for the simultaneous detection of target sequences in genetically modified soybean (Roundup Ready) and maize (MON810, Bt176, Bt11, and GA21). Primer pairs were designed to amplify the junction regions of the transgenic constructs analyzed and the endogenous genes of soybean (lectin) and maize (zein) were included as internal control targets to assess the efficiency of all reactions. This multiplex PCR has constituted the basis for an efficient platform for genetically modified organism traceability based on microarray technology. In particular, the ligation detection reaction combined to a universal array approach, using the multiplex PCR as target, was applied. High specificity and sensitivity were obtained.     

Species-specific PCR Assays for the Fungal Pathogens Fusarium moniliforme and Fusarium subglutinans and their Application to Diagnose Maize Ear Rot Disease

Fusarium moniliforme Sheldon (syn. F. verticillioides (Sacc.) Nirenberg) and F. subglutinans (Wollenweber & Reinking) Nelson Toussoun & Marasas comb. nov., two anamorphs of the so-called‘Gibberella fujikuroi species complex', are important maize pathogens. Together with F. proliferatum, F. culmorum, and F. graminearum (teleomorph: Gibberella zeae) they are involved in the stalk rot and ear rot disease of maize. All species produce secondary metabolites (mycotoxins) which are a potential health hazard for humans and animals that consume maize and maize products frequently. In this study the development of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays for an easy and sensitive identification of G. fujikuroi anamorphs in maize kernels are described. The primer pairs are based on sequences of randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fragments and are specific for F. moniliforme and F. subglutinans respectively. The PCR assays are independent of the high phenotypic variability of traits which may complicate classification by morphological characters. They detect approximately 100 to 200 fungal genomes in the presence of an excess of maize DNA. For the analysis of infected maize kernels a rapid and easy DNA extraction was used which does not introduce inhibitory substances into the PCR. Hence the assays enable an early identification and detection of the two pathogens in host tissue by plant breeders and plant health inspection services. The assays were successfully applied to identify field isolates from Poland and to detect the pathogens in maize ears of various hybrids in Germany.     

Sugarcane borer (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) resistance to transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis maize

Transgenic maize, Zea mays L., expressing the Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) CrylAb toxin has been planted to extensive areas across the United States and several other countries, but no resistance has been documented in field populations oflepidopteran target pests. This article describes the first report of resistance alleles to commercially available Cry1Ab Bt maize in a Louisiana population of sugarcane borer, Diatraea saccharalis (F.) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae). Two hundred thirteen two-parent isolines of D. saccharalis were screened for Cry1Ab resistance on Bt maize leaf tissue using an F2 screening technique. Larvae representing three isolines survived >15 d on Bt tissue in the F2 generation. The second generation backcross progeny (B1F2) derived from isoline 52 completed larval development on Bt maize in the greenhouse. Segregation and resistance frequency analysis associated with isoline 52 suggested that Bt resistance is probably determined by a nearly completely recessive allele at a single locus. With this assumption, the estimated resistance allele frequency in this population is 0.0023, within a 95% confidence interval of 0.0003-0.0064.     

Cloning and Sequencing of the Gene Encoding 10 kD Zein of Maize

The results of cloning and sequencing of the gene encoding 10 kD zein of maize (Zea mays L. ) with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique are here with presented. The genomic DNA template was extracted from sterilized seedlings of maize. Primered with a pair of synthetic 5′and 3′ PCR primers, a 0.57 kb DNA fragment was obtained after 30 PCR amplification cycles. The restriction map of the DNA fragment has been determined. The result indicated that the entire coding sequence of 10 kD zein gene has been cloned. The homologies of the DNA sequence and deduced amino acid sequences between our result and those published abroad are 96% and 90% respectively. As l0 kD zein is rich in sulphur, this gene might be used to improve the quality of crops, especially, the forage legumes by genetic engineering.
