Mangroves and salt marsh species are known to synthesize a wide spectrum of polysaccharides and polyphenols including flavonoids and other secondary metabolites which interfere with the extraction of pure genomic DNA. Although a plethora of plant DNA isolation protocols exist, extracting DNA from mangroves and salt marsh species is a challenging task. This study describes a rapid and reliable cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) protocol suited specifically for extracting DNA from plants which are rich in polysaccharides and secondary metabolites, and the protocol also excludes the use of expensive liquid nitrogen and toxic phenols. Purity of extracted DNA was excellent as evident by A260/A280 ratio ranging from 1.78 to 1.84 and A260/A230 ratio was >2, which also suggested that the preparations were sufficiently free of proteins and polyphenolics/polysaccharide compounds. DNA concentration ranged from 8.8 to 9.9 μg μL−1. The extracted DNA was amenable to RAPD, restriction digestion, and PCR amplification of plant barcode genes (matK and rbcl). The optimized method is suitable for both dry and fresh leaves. The success of this method in obtaining high-quality genomic DNA demonstrated the broad applicability of this method.

The genetic studies of individual plants, especially self-pollinated species like chickpea need to be evaluated at the DNA level with the help of molecular markers for identifying genetic variations among the plants. High-quality DNA extraction is a prerequisite for genetic studies. Extraction of intact genomic DNA with high – molecular mass is essential for the study of many molecular biology applications like Polymerase Chain Reaction, endonuclease restriction digestion, southern blot analysis, and also for the construction of a genomic library. Several plant DNA extraction methods are available, even though the DNA isolation methods that give good yield employing both quantity and quality is quite difficult especially for self-pollinated crops like a chickpea. This work was focused on developing a standard protocol for the extraction of genomic DNA and identifying different barcoding markers. The result revealed that the CTAB extraction method with slight modification in protocol had been optimized for DNA isolation. The purified DNA, which was isolated through the CTAB method, had excellent spectral qualities and is efficiently digested by a restriction endonuclease, and is found to be more suitable for long-fragment PCR amplification. DNA barcoding is considered as a promising tool because it provides a practical and standard identification of plants. The isolated DNA sample was processed with a classical DNA barcoding approach by amplifying and sequencing with a universal primer. According to the result, among the different barcoding markers studied, the RbcL and Mat K were found to given the best result for molecular species identification in chickpea.

This study describes a rapid procedure for the isolation of genomic DNA from Staphylococcus aureus that yielded a good amount of high quality DNA for the amplification of staphylococcal enterotoxins genes (A, B, C, D, and E) and the TSST-1 gene as well as enzymatic restriction (HaeIII) from environmental isolates. With this method, it was possible to detect these genes in a sample containing as little as 10(5) cells with positive PCR reactions obtained from approximately 10pg of DNA in a final reaction volume of 25µl.

The genetic variability of 40 accessions of_C. arabica was evaluated using a combination of the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique and restriction digestion of genomic DNA. The genetic variability and the relatedness among all accessions were initially evaluated using 195 RAPD primers which revealed a very low level of genetic variation. To improve the efficiency in the detection of polymorphism, the genomic DNA of all accessions were submitted to digestion with restriction endonucleases prior to PCR amplification. A total of 24 primers combined with restriction digestion of DNA rendered 318 bands, of which 266 (83.65%) were polymorphic. The associations among genotypes were estimated using UPGMA-clustering analysis. The accessions were properly clustered according to pedigree and agronomic features. The ability to distinguish among coffee accessions was greater for RAPD plus restriction digestion than for RAPD alone, providing evidences that the combination of the techniques was very efficient for the estimation of genetic relationship among_C. arabica genotypes.

ABSTRACT The application of molecular techniques to tackle ecological and evolutionary questions requires genomic DNA in good quality and quantity. The quality of the isolated DNA, however, can be influenced by the tissue type and the way the sample was conserved and manipulated. Therefore, customizing protocols to improve the DNA isolation and locus amplification is crucial. We optimized a cheap and manual protocol of DNA extraction and microsatellites amplification using five different tissues of a palm species of the brazilian Atlantic Forest. We successfully extracted DNA from all five tissue types. Leaf, stem, and endocarp of non-dispersed seeds presented the highest rates of successful DNA extraction and microsatellite amplification; whereas root, endocarp of dispersed seeds, and embryo showed the lowest quality and quantity. Based on these results, we discussed the implications of using different tissues for studies about seed dispersal, pollination, and population genetics.

 English.  Molecular genetic analysis of Arar tree [Tetraclinis articulata (Vahl) Masters] is often limited by the availability of fresh tissue and an efficient and reliable protocol for high quality genomic DNA extraction. In this study, two DNA extraction protocols were specifically developed for extracting high quality genomic DNA from Arar tree leaves: modified QIAgen DNA Kit and protocol developed by Ouenzar et al. (1998). DNA yield and purity were monitored by gel electrophoresis and by determining absorbance at UV (A260/A280 and A260/A230). Both ratios were between 1.7 and 2.0, indicating that the presence of contaminating metabolites was minimal. The DNA yield obtained ranged between 20 to 40 µg/g of plant materiel. The Ouenzar and collaborators protocol gave higher yield but was more time consuming compared to QIAgen Kit. However, both techniques gave DNA of good quality that is amenable to RAPD-PCR reactions.Additionally, restriction digestion and PCR analyses of the obtained DNA showed its compatibility with downstream applications. Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA profiling from the isolated DNA was optimized to produce scorable and clear amplicons. The presented protocols allow easy and high quality DNA isolation for genetic diversity studies within Arar tree.Français.  Les analyses en génétique moléculaire chez le thuya de Berberie [Tetraclinis articulata (Vahl) Masters] sont souvent limitées par la disponibilité du matériel végétal frais et le temps nécessaire pour l’extraction l’ADN ainsi que par sa qualité. Dans cette étude, deux protocoles d’extraction, à partir des feuilles du thuya, de l’ADN génomique de haute qualité, ont été développés : le Kit Qiagen et le protocole mis au point par Ouenzar et al. (1998) modifiés. La qualité et la quantité de l’ADN sont évaluées par électrophorèse sur gel d’agarose et par la mesure de l’absorbance en UV à (A260/A280) et (A260/A230). Ces deux rapports varient entre 1,7 et 2,0 indiquant la faible fréquence des métabolites contaminants. Le rendement d’ADN varie entre 20 et 40 µg/g du matériel végétal. Le protocole de Ouenzar et collaborateurs donne le meilleur rendement d’ADN mais nécessite plus de temps. Néanmoins, les deux protocoles donnent un ADN de bonne qualité utilisable dans les réactions RAPD-PCR. En outre, la restriction enzymatique et l’analyse PCR de l’ADN obtenu ont montré sa compatibilité avec les applications moléculaires ultérieures. Les paramètres intervenant dans les réactions RAPD ont été optimisés. Les protocoles présentés permettent l’extraction facile de l’ADN de haute qualité nécessaire pour des études de la diversité génétique au sein du thuya.

Lith., 18(1): 40-45. The genomic DNA purification method for Gonyostomum semen algae was optimized by applying different DNA purification techniques and rational modifications. This method allowed to obtain high quality DNA preparations suitable for the phylogenetic analysis and genetic variability investigation of algae. DNA isolated by this method yielded strong and reliable amplification products showing their applicability for RAPD-PCR using random decamer primers. In the present study, the RAPD protocol was optimized for the evaluation of Gonyostomum biodiversity.
