- Understanding plant‐insect interactions is an active area of research in both ecology and evolution. Much attention has been focused on the impact of secondary metabolites in the host plant or fungi on these interactions. Plants and fungi contain a variety of biologically active compounds, and the secondary metabolite profile can vary significantly between individual samples. However, many experiments characterize the biological effects of only a single secondary metabolite or a subset of these compounds.
- Here, we develop an exhaustive extraction protocol using an accelerated solvent extraction protocol to recover the complete suite of cyclopeptides and other secondary metabolites found in Amanita phalloides (death cap mushrooms) and compare its efficacy to the “Classic” extraction method used in earlier works.
- We demonstrate that our extraction protocol recovers the full suite of cyclopeptides and other secondary metabolites in A. phalloides unlike the “Classic” method that favors polar cyclopeptides.
- Based on these findings, we provide recommendations for how to optimize protocols to ensure exhaustive extracts and also the best practices when using natural extracts in ecological experiments.

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

High quality genomic DNA is the first step in the development of DNA-based markers for fingerprinting and genetic diversity of crops, including mango (Mangifera indica L.), a woody perennial. Poor quality genomic DNA hinders the successful application of analytical DNA-based tools. Standard protocols for DNA extraction are not suitable for mango since the extracted genomic DNA often contains secondary metabolites that interfere with analytical applications. In this study, we employed an additional step to remove polysaccharides, polyphenols and secondary metabolites from genomic DNA extracted from young or mature leaf tissue; then a modified traditional cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) method was applied. The use of 0.4 M glucose improved DNA quality and avoided contamination and browning by polyphenolics, relative to the traditional CTAB method. This is an easy and efficient method for genomic DNA extraction from both young and mature leaves of mango. The isolated DNA was free of polysaccharides, polyphenols, RNA and other major contaminants, as judged by its clear colour, its viscosity, A260/A280 ratio and suitability for PCR-based reactions. This modified protocol was also used to extract high quality genomic DNA from other woody perennials, including walnut, guava, lychee, pear, grape and sugarcane. 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

Extraction of high-quality genomic DNA for PCR amplification from filamentous fungi is difficult because of the complex cell wall and the high concentrations of polysaccharides and other secondary metabolites that bind to or co-precipitate with nucleic acids. We developed a modified sodium dodecyl sulfate/phenol protocol, without maceration in liquid nitrogen and without a final ethanol precipitation step. The A(260/280) absorbance ratios of isolated DNA were approximately 1.7-1.9, demonstrating that the DNA fraction is pure and can be used for analysis. Additionally, the A(260/230) values were higher than 1.6, demonstrating negligible contamination by polysaccharides. The DNA isolated by this protocol is of sufficient quality for molecular applications; this technique could be applied to other organisms that have similar substances that hinder DNA extraction. The main advantages of the method are that the mycelium is directly recovered from culture medium and it does not require the use of expensive and specialized equipment. 相似文献

The presented work describes good quality DNA isolation method from mature leaves of some medicinally important plant species, viz. Asparagus racemosus, Withania somnifera, Abrus precatorius, Commiphora wightii and Carissa carandas. These plants hold immense medicinal values due to presence of certain secondary metabolites like polyphenols, terpenes, flavonoids, alkaloids, gums, resins, etc. Although these metabolites are accountable for important medicinal properties and authorize these plants to precedence over others, the same compounds disappoint the researcher while isolating high quality DNA. To overcome this problem, we propose a simple method in which DNA is adroitly bounded to diatomaceous earth in a solution of different chaotropic agent and alienated from intrusive compounds. Presented method affirms that secondary products, along with polysaccharides and proteins, can be perceptibly reduced by using silica matrix along with chaotropic agents. The described method is fast, simple and highly reliable for the isolation of DNA from obstinate plant species. 相似文献

Background
The validity and reproducibility of gene expression studies depend on the quality of extracted RNA and the degree of genomic DNA contamination. Cyanobacteria are gram-negative prokaryotes that synthesize chlorophyll a and carry out photosynthetic water oxidation. These organisms possess an extended array of secondary metabolites that impair cell lysis, presenting particular challenges when it comes to nucleic acid isolation. Therefore, we used the NHM5 strain of Nostoc punctiforme ATCC 29133 to compare and improve existing phenol based chemistry and procedures for RNA extraction. 相似文献10.

The process of breeding superior varieties for the agricultural industry is lengthy and expensive. Plant metabolites may act as markers of quality traits, potentially expediting the appraisal of experimental lines during breeding. Here, we evaluated the utility of metabolites as markers by assessing metabolic variation influenced by genetic and environmental factors in an advanced breeding setting and in relation to the phenotypic distribution of 20 quality traits. Nontargeted liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry metabolite profiling was performed on barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) grain and malt from 72 advanced malting barley lines grown at two distinct but climatically similar locations, with 2‐row and 6‐row barley as the main genetic factors. 27 420 molecular features were detected, and the metabolite and quality trait profiles were similarly influenced by genotype and environment; however, malt was more influenced by genotype compared with barley. An O2PLS model characterized molecular features and quality traits that covaried, and 1319 features associated with at least one of 20 quality traits. An indiscriminant MS/MS acquisition and novel data analysis method facilitated the identification of metabolites. The analysis described 216 primary and secondary metabolites that correlated with multiple quality traits and included amines, amino acids, alkaloids, polyphenolics and lipids. The mechanisms governing quality trait–metabolite associations were interpreted based on colocalization to genetic markers and their gene annotations. The results of this study support the hypothesis that metabolism and quality traits are co‐influenced by relatively narrow genetic and environmental factors and illustrate the utility of grain metabolites as functional markers of quality traits. 相似文献

Genetic studies provide valuable data to inform conservation strategies for species with small or declining populations. In these circumstances, obtaining DNA samples without harming the study organisms is highly desirable. Excrements are increasingly being used as a source of DNA in such studies, but such approaches have rarely been applied to arthropods. Bumblebees are ecologically and economically important as pollinators; however, some species have recently suffered severe declines and range contractions across much of Western Europe and North America. We investigated whether bumblebee faeces could be used for the extraction of DNA suitable for genotyping using microsatellite markers. We found that DNA could be extracted using a Chelex method from faecal samples collected either in microcapillary tubes or on filter paper, directly from captured individuals. Our results show that genotypes scored from faecal samples are identical to those from tissue samples. This study describes a reliable, consistent and efficient noninvasive method of obtaining DNA from bumblebees for use in population genetic studies. This approach should prove particularly useful in breeding and conservation programs for bumblebees and may be broadly applicable across insect taxa. 相似文献

Actinomycetes are currently the main source of antibiotics. Genome sequencing reveals the presence in these organisms of multiple gene clusters for the synthesis of yet unidentified secondary metabolites. Technological advances in DNA isolation, cloning and sequencing, as well as development of bioinformatics, facilitate large scale search for new gene clusters in organisms with unknown genome sequence and in environmental DNA. Methods used for detection of polyketide synthase (PKS) and non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) genes are described in this article. New PKS and NRPS genes give access to new biologically active natural products which can become drugs or substrates for chemical modifications. Even more inspiring is their use in combinatorial biosynthesis to produce a variety of compounds with rationally designed structures. 相似文献

Many plant species are considered difficult for DNA isolation due to their high concentrations of secondary metabolites such
as polysaccharides and polyphenols. Several protocols have been developed to overcome this problem, but they are typically
time-consuming, not scalable for high throughput and not compatible with automation. Although a variety of commercial kits
are available for plant DNA isolation, their cost is high and these kits usually have limited taxonomic applicability. In
a previous study we developed an inexpensive automation-friendly protocol for DNA extraction from animal tissues. Here we
demonstrate that a similar protocol allows DNA isolation from plants.

Oleaginous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides is an excellent microbial lipid producer. Therefore, it is important to develop molecular biology tools to understand the
basic mechanism for lipid accumulation and further manipulate the microorganism. High-quality RNA extraction from R. toruloides is particularly challenging due to high level of polysaccharides, lipids, and other secondary metabolites. To obtain an optimal
protocol for RNA extraction from R. toruloides, four methods were evaluated. Large difference in RNA yield and quality among these protocols was found. The optimum method
was modified RNAiso procedure, where RNA was isolated using liquid nitrogen-RNAiso method with salt precipitation and the
addition of β-mercaptoethanol. This method consistently recovered RNA in good quality with high yield. Around 297 μg total
RNA per gram of cells was obtained with an average purity measured as A260/A280 of 2.09. A titer of 105 cfu/ml could be harvested to construct a full-length cDNA library with the RNA sample in this quality. Electrophoresis gel
analysis indicated the fragments ranged from 200 bp to 4.0 kb, with the average size of 1000 bp. Randomly picked clones showed
the recombination efficiency at 80%. These results showed that RNA of R. toruloides was successfully extracted for the first time using the modified RNAiso method, and the cDNA library was appropriate for
screening the genes related to lipid accumulation. 相似文献

Recent studies have demonstrated that detection of environmental DNA (eDNA) from aquatic vertebrates in water bodies is possible. The Burmese python, Python bivittatus, is a semi‐aquatic, invasive species in Florida where its elusive nature and cryptic coloration make its detection difficult. Our goal was to develop a diagnostic PCR to detect P. bivittatus from water‐borne eDNA, which could assist managers in monitoring this invasive species. First, we used captive P. bivittatus to determine whether reptilian DNA could be isolated and amplified from water samples. We also evaluated the efficacy of two DNA isolation methods and two DNA extraction kits commonly used in eDNA preparation. A fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene from P. bivittatus was detected in all water samples isolated with the sodium acetate precipitate and the QIAamp DNA Micro Kit. Next, we designed P. bivittatus‐specific primers and assessed the degradation rate of eDNA in water. Our primers did not amplify DNA from closely related species, and we found that P. bivittatus DNA was consistently detectable up to 96 h. Finally, we sampled water from six field sites in south Florida. Samples from five sites, where P. bivittatus has been observed, tested positive for eDNA. The final site was negative and had no prior documented evidence of P. bivittatus. This study shows P. bivittatus eDNA can be isolated from water samples; thus, this method is a new and promising technique for the management of invasive reptiles. 相似文献
