A Simple and Rapid Method for DNA Isolation from Xylophagous Insects
نویسندگان
چکیده
Published methods to isolate DNA from insects are not always effective in xylophagous insects because they have high concentrations of phenolics and other secondary plant compounds in their digestive tracts. A simple, reliable and labor-effective cetyltrimethylammonium bromide-polyvinylpyrrolidone (CTAB-PVP) method for isolation of high quality DNA from xylophagous insects is described. This method was successfully applied to PCR and restriction analysis, indicating removal of common inhibitors. DNA isolated by the CTAB-PVP method could be used in most molecular analyses.

A RAPID AND SIMPLE METHOD OF DNA EXTRACTION FROM CLINICAL SPECIMENS CONTAINING MYCOBACTERIUM LEPRAE FOR PCR ASSAYS
We describe a rapid, simple, and reliable procedure for routine isolation of Mycobacterium leprae DNA from slit-skin swab specimens. This one-step DNA extraction method is based on the utilization of ChelexR 100, a chelating ion exchange resin. Slit-skin swab specimens from seven untreated leprosy patients at Baba Baghi Leprosy Hospital in Iran were processed by this procedure. The polymer...

In plants, secondary metabolites and polysaccharides interfere with genomic isolation procedures and downstream reactions such as restriction enzyme analysis and gene amplification. The removal of such contaminants needs complicated and time-consuming protocols. In this study, a simple, rapid and efficient method for leaf DNA extraction was optimized. This method use small amount of plant mater...
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 کاملDrought-induced positive feedback in xylophagous insects: Easier invasion of Scots pine leading to greater investment in immunity of emerging individuals
We studied the infestation rate of Scots pine Pinus sylvestris by xylophagous insects in relation to distance from forest lakes in eastern Latvia, northern Europe. In summers of 2008 and 2009, we felled 72 pines of approximately 65 years age. Sections of the logs were incubated in insect emergence traps. The trees located near lakes were significantly less infested by xylophagous insects than t...

Based on the similarity of prokaryotic DNA to that of mitochondrial DNA, a rapid and efficient method for DNA purification from mitochondrial extracts obtained from different sources, was carried out based on the modification method described by Marmur (1983) which resulted in a high degree of purity (A260/A280=2). In addition we have applied the same technique for the first time to purify...
