Optimization of extraction procedure can improve phytoplasma diagnostics

چکیده
Phytoplasma cause many important vector-borne and graft-transmissible plant diseases. They can affect different host plants. In this work we concentrated on the optimization of diagnostic procedures of pyhtoplasma on fruit trees. The extraction of DNA from the samples is necessary for the molecular analyses that follow. In our experiment we compared two extraction methods – CTAB and automatic extraction procedure on 61 different samples of fruit trees. After the analysis with real-time PCR we concluded that both extraction procedures give the same result, but the automated procedure is less time consuming and therefore has advantage over the CTAB method.

A new real-time PCR detection system was developed for grapevine yellows (GY) using TaqMan minor groove binder probes and including two amplicons for group-specific detection of Flavescence dorée (FD) and Bois noir (BN) phytoplasmas, plus a universal phytoplasma amplicon. FD and BN amplicons were designed to amplify species-specific genomic DNA fragments and the universal amplicon to amplify th...

Different PCR protocols have been established for detection of European fruit trees phytoplasmas; however the majority of the procedures for extracting phytoplasma DNA are complex, time consuming, and expensive, with a risk of contamination or loss of target DNA. In present study, a crude extract preparation method previously used to detect other plant pathogens was adapted to samples from appl...

In Europe the most devastating phytoplasma associated with grapevine yellows (GY) diseases is a quarantine pest, flavescence dorée (FDp), from the 16SrV taxonomic group. The on-site detection of FDp with an affordable device would contribute to faster and more efficient decisions on the control measures for FDp. Therefore, a real-time isothermal LAMP assay for detection of FDp was validated acc...
متن کاملOptimization of the genomic DNA extraction in some mosses
The presence of organic compounds and high amount of secondary metabolites (polysaccharides, phenolic component, etc.) in mosses cause difficulties in DNA extraction that are followed by problems in PCR reactions. In lower plants, various methods have been used for DNA extraction including silica gel and different commercial kits. These methods mostly use hazardous (like phenol or liquid nitrog...
