Development of a robust set of 18 genomic microsatellite markers from turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) and its effective utilization in estimating the genetic diversity of 20 turmeric accessions are described. A total of 103 alleles were detected with an average of 5.7 alleles per locus. These markers displayed varied levels of polymorphism as evident from its discriminating power ranging from 0.19 to 0.70. The UPGMA cluster analysis of genetic distance values resolved the 20 turmeric accessions into five main groups. Three sets of genetically identical accessions were detected within the analyzed accessions, suggesting a revisit of the germplasm collection strategy based on vernacular identity. The entire grouping pattern of the entities was loose and independent of their geographical origins. These polymorphic SSR markers would be useful for the population genetic studies and germplasm management of turmeric. 相似文献

Black pepper is an important medicinal spice traded internationally. The extraction of high quality genomic DNA for PCR amplification
from dried black pepper is challenging because of the presence of the exceptionally large amount of oxidized polyphenolic
compounds, polysaccharides and other secondary metabolites. Here we report a modified hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide
(CTAB) protocol by incorporating potassium acetate and a final PEG precipitation step to isolate PCR amplifiable genomic DNA
from dried and powdered berries of black pepper. The protocol has trade implication as it will help in the PCR characterization
of traded black peppers from different countries. 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

One of the greatest challenges facing modern medicine is the evolution of drug resistant strains of bacteria. In addition to traditional methods of exposure to traditional bacterial organisms there is a growing concerned of the use of bacteria as bio-terrorism agents. To counter the evolution of drug resistant and potential bio-terrorism bacterial agents new antibiotic drugs must be developed. One potential source of new therapeutic agents that act via a novel mechanism of action are natural and synthetic antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). In our laboratories we have developed a series of AMPs incorporating the un-natural amino acids Tic-Oic to impart organism selectivity and potency while increasing metabolic stability. Herein the in vitro activity of these peptides, including ten new compounds, against eight potential bio-terrorism bacterial agents and three other bacterial strains is presented and discussed. These peptides exhibit a wide range of organism potency and selectivity. Calcein fluorescence leakage and circular dichroism studies were conducted to confirm that these peptides interact with zwitterionic and anionic liposomes. 相似文献

Extensive circular dichroism, isothermal titration calorimetry and induced calcein leakage studies were conducted on a series of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), with a varying number of Lys residues located at either the C-terminus or the N-terminus to gain insight into their effect on the mechanisms of binding with zwitterionic and anionic membrane model systems. Different CD spectra were observed for these AMPs in the presence of zwitterionic DPC and anionic SDS micelles indicating that they adopt different conformations on binding to the surfaces of zwitterionic and anionic membrane models. Different CD spectra were observed for these AMPs in the presence of zwitterionic POPC and anionic mixed 4:1 POPC/POPG LUVs and SUVs, indicating that they adopt very different conformations on interaction with these two types of LUVs and SUVs. In addition, ITC and calcein leakage data indicated that all the AMPs studied interact via very different mechanisms with anionic and zwitterionic LUVs. ITC data suggest these peptides interact primarily with the surface of zwitterionic LUVs while they insert into and form pores in anionic LUVs. CD studies indicated that these compounds adopt different conformations depending on the ratio of POPC to POPG lipids present in the liposome. There are detectable spectroscopic and thermodynamic differences between how each of these AMPs interacts with membranes, that is position and total charge density defines how these AMPs interact with specific membrane models and thus partially explain the resulting diversity of antibacterial activity of these compounds. 相似文献

Expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) were used for the screening of type and frequency of Class I (hypervariable) simple sequence repeats (SSRs). A total
of 231 microsatellite repeats were detected from 12,593 EST sequences of turmeric after redundancy elimination. The average
density of Class I SSRs accounts to one SSR per 17.96 kb of EST. Mononucleotides were the most abundant class of microsatellite
repeat in turmeric ESTs followed by trinucleotides. A robust set of 17 polymorphic EST–SSRs were developed and used for evaluating
20 turmeric accessions. The number of alleles detected ranged from 3 to 8 per loci. The developed markers were also evaluated
in 13 related species of C. longa confirming high rate (100%) of cross species transferability. The polymorphic microsatellite markers generated from this
study could be used for genetic diversity analysis and resolving the taxonomic confusion prevailing in the genus. 相似文献

In our laboratory we developed a series of antimicrobial peptides that exhibit selectivity and potency for prokaryotic over eukaryotic cells (Hicks et al., 2007). Circular dichroism (CD), isothermal calorimetry (ITC) and calcein leakage assays were conducted to determine the mechanism of lipid binding of a representative peptide 1 (Ac-GF-Tic-Oic-GK-Tic-Oic-GF-Tic-Oic-GK-Tic-KKKK-CONH2) to model membranes. POPC liposomes were used as a simple model for eukaryotic membranes and 4:1 POPC:POPG liposomes were used as a simple model for prokaryotic membranes. CD, ITC and calcein leakage data clearly indicate that compound 1 interacts via very different mechanisms with the two different liposome membranes. Compound 1 exhibits weaker binding and induces less calcein leakage in POPC liposomes than POPC:POPG (4:1 mole ratio) liposomes. The predominant binding mechanism to POPC appears to be limited to surface interactions while the mechanism of binding to 4:1 POPC:POPG most likely involves some type of pore formation. 相似文献
