BACKGROUND The intergeneric hybrids between Ascocenda John De Biase 'Blue' and Phalaenopsis Chih Shang's Stripes have been generated to introduce the blue color into the Phalaenopsis germplasm in prior study. In order to confirm the inheritance in hybrid progenies, genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis were conducted to confirm the int...

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the group/subgroup phytoplasma agent in peppers showing symptoms. Material and Methods: In study, plants collected from Iğdır province 2020 were analyzed using direct nested PCR tests, BLASTn, iphyClassifier, Mega 7, pDRAW32 programs used. Results: tests performed, approximately 1.2 kb DNA fragments specific obtained. 16S rRNA nucleotide...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES In Iran, anaplasmosis is normally diagnosed with traditional Giemsa staining method. This is not applicable for identification of the carrier animals. The aim of this study was to compare the detection of Anaplasma marginale in two different numbers of microscopic fields (50 and 100) using conventional Giemsa staining method compared with the PCR-RFLP technique. MATE...

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with subsequent restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis is often used for phytoplasma identification and classification. Although these techniques are very sensitive and specific, in some cases, nonspecific reactions, false positives and negatives results, as well as unusual or illegible profiles after RFLP analyses, amplification of plant host ́s...

PURPOSE To characterize methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains by molecular typing based on polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) of spa gene and to assess the utility of spa genotyping over bacteriophage typing in the discrimination of the strains. MATERIALS AND METHODS Studies were undertaken on 125 MRSA strains representing the mo...

Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) is a technique in which organisms may be differentiated by analysis of patterns derived from cleavage of their DNA. If two organisms differ in the distance between sites of cleavage of a particular restriction endonuclease, the length of the fragments produced will differ when the DNA is digested with a restriction enzyme. The similarity of the pa...

PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)-based analysis, also known as cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS), is a popular technique for genetic analysis. It has been applied for the detection of intraspecies as well as interspecies variation. There exist several techniques that are related with PCR-RFLP and also involve gel electrophoresis including techniques for DNA finger...
