چکیده
Tecan Journal 3/2003 4 www.tecan.com Research on plant diseases Downy mildew, caused by the oomycete Plasmopara viticola, is one of the most important grape (Vitis vinifera) diseases, which needs to be controlled by preventive fungicide application to reduce its erratic appearance and high reproduction potential. One of the research areas of the group of Cesare Gessler at the Institute of Plant Sciences of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zürich is to investigate the mechanisms and to find better solutions for the control of this disease. Four microsatellite markers have been developed to clarify unknown aspects of epidemiology and genetic variability of the pathogen.

Assesment of different DNA extraction methods in medicinal plants
Medicinal plants have high importance in medicine and pharmacogonosy because of their secondary metabolites. Essential oils, antioxidants and flavonoids are the major compounds of many medicinal plants. These compounds especially antioxidants can increase oxidation of DNA in response to wounds. Nowadays, progresses in biotechnology such as molecular markers were used for phylogenetic relationsh...
متن کاملAn efficient and simple CTAB based method for total genomic DNA isolation from low amounts of aquatic plants leaves with a high level of secondary metabolites
An efficient DNA isolation protocol specifically modified to get pure quality DNA required for molecular studieshas been reported in this paper. Some aquatic plants (Potamogeton spp., Ceratophyllum demersum and Myriophyllum spicatum) were used for the study. The protocol developed will be useful in getting high and pure DNA. Instead of using the available DNA extraction kits, this protocol can ...

متن کاملOptimization of the genomic DNA extraction in some mosses
The presence of organic compounds and high amount of secondary metabolites (polysaccharides, phenolic component, etc.) in mosses cause difficulties in DNA extraction that are followed by problems in PCR reactions. In lower plants, various methods have been used for DNA extraction including silica gel and different commercial kits. These methods mostly use hazardous (like phenol or liquid nitrog...
متن کاملComparison study of three methods for genomic DNA extraction from fresh and herbarium leaf specimens of Achillea wilhelmsii C.Koch
DNA extraction from plant tissues often causes most problems. For example, unsuccessful removal secondary metabolites during extraction, such as phenolic compounds in aromatic and medicinal plants, cause to some mistakes in result of molecular experiments by using of the extracted DNA. Achillea wilhelmsii is a medicinal plant belong to Asteraceae family and native to Iran, there is little infor...
متن کاملOptimization of extraction procedure can improve phytoplasma diagnostics
Phytoplasma cause many important vector-borne and graft-transmissible plant diseases. They can affect different host plants. In this work we concentrated on the optimization of diagnostic procedures of pyhtoplasma on fruit trees. The extraction of DNA from the samples is necessary for the molecular analyses that follow. In our experiment we compared two extraction methods – CTAB and automatic e...
