A Simple and Rapid Leaf Genomic DNA Extraction Method for Polymerase Chain Reaction Analysis
Authors: not saved
Abstract:
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 material to reduce inhibitory agents (alkaloids, phenolic). The procedure involves homogenization of the plant leaf in extraction buffer, incubation at 60ºC, extraction by chloroform: iso-amyl alcohol and finally DNA precipitation by cold isopropanol. The results showed that the extracted DNA could be used directly for PCR.

A simple, rapid, and effective method for the extraction of Mycobacterium paratuberculosis DNA from fecal samples for polymerase chain reaction.
Diagnosis of paratuberculosis (Johne's disease) is stymied by the lack of 1 diagnostic tool that can be used to detect both subclinically and clinically infected animals. At present, fecal culture remains the single diagnostic test that can detect infection in both disease states provided the animals actively shed Mycobacterium paratuberculosis in their feces. Yet, fecal culture has a disadvant...

Rapid isolation of high-purity microbial genomic DNA is necessary for genome analysis. In this study, the authors compared a one-hour procedure using a microwave with enzymatic and boiling methods of genomic DNA extraction from Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. High DNA concentration and purity were observed for both MRSA and ESBL strains (80.1 and 91.1 μg/ml; OD260/280, 1.82 and 1.70, ...

Bacillary dysentery, or shigellosis, is a disease of humans in which the colonic epithelium is invaded by bacteria and subjected to inflammatory destruction. The aim of this study was to develop a polymerase chain reaction(PCR) test for detection of virulent Shigella spp.. For this purpose, the primers were designed to amplify a 526-bp internal region of the Shigella spp. icsA gene, which encod...

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...

The construction of deletions, insertions and point mutations in DNA sequences is a powerful approach to analysing the function and structure of genes and their products. Here, we present a fast and efficient method using the polymerase chain reaction to introduce mutations into cDNAs coding for the alpha-, gamma- and epsilon-subunit of the rat muscle acetylcholine receptor. Two flanking primer...

Tagetes, a genus of flowering marigolds in the family Asteraceae (Compositeae), is reported to be a medicinal plant with hypotensive, spasmolytic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antifungal properties. Tagetes minuta characteristically contains high concentrations of essential oils, flavonoids, polyphenols, and polysaccharides that interfere with DNA, causing erroneous or no PCR products....
