Sequences derived from a rye gamma secalin gene were used as primers in polymerase chain reactions using DNA obtained from a series of wheat and triticale genetic stocks. A 473-bp fragment, the predicted size based on the distance between the selected primers, was found only in rye, triticales, and wheat lines carrying rye chromosome 2RS. Use of triticale lines with various wheat chromosome substitutions confirmed the chromosomal origin of the rye-specific marker. The presence of the 473-bp PCR product was always associated with the production of 75K secalins in grain samples. Thus, the primer sequences, and the clone of origin (pSC503), were both derived from the SEC-2 locus of rye chromosome 2RS.Key words: wheat (Triticum aestivum), rye (Secale cereale), chromosomal translocations, chromosomal substitutions, DNA polymerase chain reaction, sequence-specific primers.

Background: Dilated cardiomyopathy is the important myocardial disease and one of the most common cause of death in the medium to large size dog breeds worldwide. The disease is characterized by dilatation of cardiac chambers and thinning of walls leads to systolic failure. Mutations in some sarcomere genes leads to cardiomyopathy in humans. Sarcomere is an important multifunctional protein network involved in the signal reception and transduction. Mutations in β-MYH7, MYBPC3 and TCAP genes produce alterations in the morphology of heart (hypertrophy or dilatation).Methods: In this study twenty apparently healthy and twenty five dogs with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) were selected from patients reported or referred to University Veterinary Hospital and Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex, Mannuthy (2015-2017) based on the clinical examination, radiographic, electrocardiographic, haematobiochemical and echocardiographic studies cardiac disorders (Dilated cardiomyopathy and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) were confirmed.Result: In the present study we investigated genetic alterations of exon 12 of MYH7, 16 of β-MYBPC3 and 2 of TCAP gene in dogs by polymerase chain reaction -single stranded confirmation of polymorphism (PCR-SSCP). Polymerase chain reactions were analysed using acrylamide gel and samples with different pattern of bands were sequenced. Polymerase chain reaction-SSCP showed different migration of band pattern in the intron 1 of TCAP gene in one sample.

Concerns about retroviruses in livestock and products derived from them have necessitated the development of tests to detect the bovine leukemia virus (BLV) in blood and milk from cattle. Dairy cattle ( n = 101) from 5 different geographical areas were used for this study. A nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) identified 98% of BLV seropositive cattle ( n = 80) from blood and 65% from milk, whereas real-time PCR detected 94% of BLV seropositive cattle from blood and 59% from milk. Bovine leukemia virus was also detected by PCR in approximately 10% of seronegative cattle ( n = 21), most likely because of early detection before seroconversion.

This introduction outlines various methods to clone amplified DNAs and to facilitate the construction of complex multicomponent genetic units. Because of the ease with which the termini of amplified DNAs can be tailored by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), many of the methods outlined here use PCR not only to synthesize DNAs but also to link them together into purpose-designed constructs. The most recent refinements however have been the development of modular genetic units that can be harnessed to target DNAs not by PCR but by site-specific recombination enzymes.

From the sequence of a subcloned DNA fragment of a highly conserved plasmid of Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus a pair of oligonucleotides were devised for use as polymerase chain reaction primers. The primer sequences do not show significant homology with any other sequence deposited in public databases. Polymerase chain reactions carried out using this primer pair and untreated cells of all strains of C. michiganensis sepedonicus tested resulted in the amplification of a DNA fragment of about 670 base pairs. No amplification was observed when bacteria belonging to other species were submitted to polymerase chain reaction under the same conditions. The detection limit of the assay was 4 × 103 bacteria.Key words: detection, potato ring rot, Corynebacterium sepedonicum.

Abstract An automated system for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and detection combats false-positive results caused by "PCR product carryover." The system uses a single vessel for both PCR amplification and the subsequent detection of PCR products, eliminating the need to handle PCR products in an open environment and risk product carryover. The sample and PCR reagents are introduced into one compartment within the vessel, and amplification occurs as they are thermally cycled. Other compartments contain the reagents for detection of PCR products. Pressure from a roller provides for sequential delivery of the contents of the compartments to a detection area. The PCR products are biotinylated at their 5' ends during amplification through the use of biotinylated primers. After delivery to the detection area, they are specifically captured by hybridization with immobilized oligonucleotide probes. Subsequent reaction with streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase conjugate forms a complex that catalyzes dye formation from dye precursor. Wash steps minimize nonspecific background. This format is amenable to multiplexing, permitting internal controls, speciation of bacteria, typing of viruses, and panel testing. An HIV assay performed with this system demonstrated 100% sensitivity and 95% specificity for 64 patients' samples relative to a conventional PCR assay based on 32P solution hybridization. Similarly, an automated closed-vessel assay of cytomegalovirus exhibited 97.5% sensitivity and 100% specificity.

The DNA band patterns generated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using the du2 primer and template DNAs from various strains of Escherichia coli and non–E. coli bacteria were compared. Among three to five prominent bands produced, the three bands at about 1.8, 2.7, and 5.0 kb were detected in all of the E. coli O157 strains tested. Some nonpathogenic E. coli and all pathogenic E. coli except E. coli O157 showed bands at 1.8 and 5.0 kb. It seems that the band at 2.7 kb is specific to E. coli O157. Sequence analysis of the 2.7-kb PCR product revealed the presence of a DNA sequence specific to E. coli O157:H− and E. coli O157:H7. Since the DNA sequence from base 15 to base 1008 of the PCR product seems to be specific to E. coli O157, a PCR assay was carried out with various bacterial genomic DNAs and O157-FHC1 and O157-FHC2 primers that amplified the region between base 23 and base 994 of the 2.7-kb PCR product. A single band at 970 bp was clearly detected in all of the strains of E. coli O157:H− and E. coli O157:H7 tested. However, no band was amplified from template DNAs from other bacteria, including both nonpathogenic and pathogenic E. coli except E. coli O157. All raw meats inoculated with E. coli O157:H7 at 3 × 100 to 3.5 × 102 CFU/25 g were positive both for our PCR assay after cultivation in mEC-N broth at 42°C for 18 h and for the conventional cultural method.

Abstract A multiplex-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) system was developed for the authentication of the mackerel Scomber colias in commercial canned products. This novel method consists of an S. colias-specific fragment [159 base pairs (bp)] located in the nontranscribed spacer (NTS) sequence, and a Scomber genus-specific PCR product in the 5S rRNA gene (196201 bp) as a positive amplification control. The system was assayed using 18 different canned products labeled as S. colias. A positive identification was made in all but one sample, revealing this methodology as a potential molecular tool for direct application in the authentication of S. colias canned products.
