胡椒叶片基因组DNA提取方法比较

目的：研究建立胡椒叶片中提取高质量DNA的方法。方法：采用各种CTAB法和SDS法的改良方法,提取胡椒叶片中的总DNA,并对DNA进行紫外和电泳检测。结果：改良CTAB法4和5提取的DNA经电泳检测,有一条明亮主带,且无拖尾现象,样品槽无荧光出现,说明抽出的DNA纯度较高,一致性好;测定其OD260和OD280值,并计算其比值,OD260/OD280值在1.8-2.0之间,提取率在51.667-60.000μg/g之间,获得的基因组DNA质量高。结论：改良CTAB法4和法5可从胡椒幼叶中提取高质量DNA。     

Endophytic bacterial flora in root and stem tissues of black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) genotype: isolation, identification and evaluation against Phytophthora capsici

Aim:  To isolate and identify black pepper ( Piper nigrum L) associated endophytic bacteria antagonistic to Phytophthora capsici causing foot rot disease.
Methods and Results:  Endophytic bacteria (74) were isolated, characterized and evaluated against P. capsici . Six genera belong to Pseudomonas spp (20 strains), Serratia (1 strain), Bacillus spp. (22 strains), Arthrobacter spp. (15 strains), Micrococcus spp. (7 strains), Curtobacterium sp. (1 strain) and eight unidentified strains were isolated from internal tissues of root and stem. Three isolates, IISRBP 35, IISRBP 25 and IISRBP 17 were found effective for Phytophthora suppression in multilevel screening assays which recorded over 70% disease suppression in green house trials. A species closest match (99% similarity) of IISRBP 35 was established as Pseudomonas aeruginosa ( Pseudomonas EF568931), IISRBP 25 as P. putida ( Pseudomonas EF568932), and IISRBP 17 as Bacillus megaterium ( B. megaterium EU071712) based on 16S rDNA sequencing.
Conclusion:  Black pepper associated P. aeruginosa , P. putida and B. megaterium were identified as effective antagonistic endophytes for biological control of Phytophthora foot rot in black pepper.
Significance and Impact of the Study:  This work provides the first evidence for endophytic bacterial diversity in black pepper stem and roots, with biocontrol potential against P. capsici infection.
