Potential utility of DNA sequence analysis of long-term-stored plant leaf fragments for forensic discrimination and identification.

چکیده
This study examined the potential utility of DNA sequence analysis to discriminate and identify plant material in forensic investigations. DNA was extracted from plant leaf fragments of 11 species stored for 5 to 22 years after collection. The trnH-psbA intergenic spacer and 316 bp of the rbcL gene were successfully amplified and sequenced for all fragments except for the trnH-psbA spacer of one sample. All of the plant samples were discriminated in pairwise comparisons of the sequences. Using a combination of local and global genetic databases is likely to provide greater reliability in search results to identify forensic samples from sequence data.

Genotyping common SNP and a microsatellite sequence closely linked to waxy gene in rice by DNA based markers
The potential of different DNA based molecular markers was examined for the detection of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the waxy gene and a microsatellite (SSR) sequence closely linked to it in a collection of rice varieties. DNA was extracted from leaf samples of 68 different rice cultivars by the CTAB method and specific primers were designed for the amplification of waxy gene and SS...
متن کاملFingerprinting of some Egyptian rice genotypes using Intron-exon Splice Junctions (ISJ) markers
DNA fingerprinting has become an important tool for diversity assessment and varietal identification in plant breeding programs. Semi- random PCR primers targeting intron-exon splice junctions (ISJ) were used to evaluate the potential of these markers in identification and classification of rice genotypes. A total of 12 ISJ primers were used for screening fourteen Egyptian rice genotypes, inclu...

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are known to influence plant growth by various director indirect mechanisms. Thirty–two strains were isolated from 15 soils sampled in central Iran, byusing and comparing three different methods. The screening of soil samples by means of soil paste–plate method combined with isolation on mannitol agar proved to be the best strategy in terms ofreliabil...

Veritable identification and differentiation of avian species is a vital step in conservative, taxonomic, forensic, legal and other ornithological interventions. Therefore, this study involved the application of molecular approach to identify some avian species i.e. Chicken (Gallus gallus), Muskovy duck (Cairina moschata), Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica), Laughing dove (Streptopelia senegale...
متن کاملEvaluation of ten SNP Markers for Human Identification and Paternity Analysis in Persian Population
Background: DNA markers are inevitable tools of human identification in forensic science. Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are one category of these markers which is concerned to use especially in the case of degraded DNA because of their short amplicons. Objectives: Detection of highly informative SNPs by the criteria is the essential step to devel...
