Detection of Transgenic Papaya Lines: Extraction Protocol Optimisation and Verification of DNA Quality by PCR Assay
نویسندگان
چکیده
Food matrices are controlled for the presence of authorised and unauthorised GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms). Transgenic papaya was developed and approved for the market in the USA. However, authorisation in EC have not been accomplished. Recently, unauthorised GM papaya was catch on EC market. Therefore it is necessary to dispose by an assay revealing genetically modified fruits. High quality DNA is required for the assay. We tested and optimised CTAB, Wizard and spin column based procedure for DNA extraction. We found that CTAB based protocol allows isolation of amplifiable DNA from fresh fruit flesh and stones, whereas spin columns alowed isolation of amplifiable DNA from candied fruits. Modified protocol is described. No transgenic fresh fruit or candied fruit from the market was detected.

Sensitivity of a real-time PCR method for the detection of transgenes in a mixture of transgenic and non-transgenic seeds of papaya (Carica papaya L.)
BACKGROUND Genetically engineered (GE) ringspot virus-resistant papaya cultivars 'Rainbow' and 'SunUp' have been grown in Hawai'i for over 10 years. In Hawai'i, the introduction of GE papayas into regions where non-GE cultivars are grown and where feral non-GE papayas exist have been accompanied with concerns associated with transgene flow. Of particular concern is the possibility of transgenic...

Trematodes are important in economic and public health. Ornithobilharzia turkestanicum (O. turkestanicum) is one of the important economic trematodes in domestic animals. Ornithobilharzia infection in intermediate host (Lymnaea gedrosiana ) can be detected by either exposing snails to light to induce cercarial shedding or by squeezing them between glass slides to detect parasites. The current...

Nosocomial infection caused by methicillin-resistant staphylococci poses a serious problem in many countries. The aim of this study was to rapidly and reliably detect methicillin-resistant-staphylococci in order to suggest appropriate therapy. The presence or absence of the methicillin-resistance gene in 115 clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus and 50 isolates of Coagulase Negative Staphy...

Background & Objectives: Today, major progress has been made in molecular experiments. The first step towards improving these experiments is the accurate extraction of nucleic acid. In this study, a protocol for DNA extraction was proposed in accordance with silica gel method. DNA purification, developed based on the silica-gel-membrane technology, is a simple method, which involves three s...

Canola (Brassica napus L.) is an important oilseed crop. A serious problem in cultivation of this crop andyield loss, are due to fungal disease stem rot caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. The pathogenesis-related(PR) proteins have the potential for enhancing resistance against fungal pathogen. Thaumatin-like proteins(TLPs) have been shown to have antifungal activity on variou...
