Genetic diversity and comparative study of genomic DNA extraction protocols in Tamarix L. species

Abstract

The genus Tamarix consists of about 54 species that mainly grow in saline areas of deserts and semi-deserts. This genus is chemically characterized by the presence of tannins, flavonoids, anthocyanins and essential oils which interfere with the extraction of pure genomic DNA. Thus it is necessary to optimize extraction protocols to minimize the influence of these compounds to the lowest level. The present study compares the efficiency of five different approaches to extract total genomic DNA in Tamarix species, showing significant differences in the extracted DNA contents and quality,by using Kit (DNP TM Kit), CTAB DNA extraction method by Murray and Thompson, Sahu et al., Nalini et al. and Bi et al., for the extraction of DNA from Tamarix species. Our results showed significant differences in DNA contents between these five methods. The quantity and quality of extracted genomic DNA were checked by the spectrophotometer, Nano-Drop and and agarose gel electrophoresis analysis. Finally, a PCR-based method was also applied to verify the amplification efficiency for two molecular markers (ITS and ISSR).. In the present study, the genetic diversity of 96 Tamarix individuals species and 8 populations were studied using 10 ISSR markerswhile for nrDNA ITS 8 species samples were used. The method of Nalini et al., provided best results (207 ng/μL) in terms of quantity and quality ofDNA. Our results proposed that this method could be effective for plants with the same polysaccharides, proteins and polyphenols components. The advantage of this method is simple and fast as it does not involve time consuming steps such as incubation at higher temperatures, and also do not requires expensive chemicals such as proteinase K, liquid nitrogen. ,. The success of this method in obtaining high-quality genomic DNA has been demonstrated in the Tamarix species group and the reliability of this method has been discussed.

The Intensity of Agriculture in the Covid-19 from Indonesia – A Systematic Literature Review

“…The effects of climatic, environmental, and managerial factors on soybean, including moisture, soil temperature, air temperature, day length, light intensity, soil pores, and soil conditions (soil fertility), are manifested through growth and developmental changes [1,2]. In general, soybeans are short-day (SD) and thermophilic plants that germinate at 8 to 10 ° C; however, the optimum temperature for its germination is around 30 ° C. In addition, it was reported that this plant is compatible with arid and semi-arid climate conditions, and its seeds mostly grow at about 300 m elevation and daylength of 12 to 16 hours [3][4][5][6]. Since soybean cultivars have relatively sensitive to day length, a 15-minute difference during the day may prevent flower growth and development in a unique cultivar [7].…”

Genetic relationships between populations of Aegilops tauschii Coss. (Poaceae) using SCoT molecular markers

“…Genetic variability description specifies differences among individuals or populations of the same species and serves as a very good tool for plant breeding and conservation programmes (Karasakal et al, 2020a(Karasakal et al, , 2020bHuang et al, 2021;Hou et al, 2021, Guo et al, 2021. Different types of DNA markers have been applied in evaluation of genetic diversity of different plants, considering also the effects of the plant growing environment and developmental stage (bi et al, 2021;Cheng et al, 2021;Khayatnezhad and Gholamin, 2020, 2021a, 2021b.…”

Morphometric analysis and genetic diversity in Rindera (Boraginaceae-Cynoglosseae) using sequence related amplified polymorphism

“…Sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) is PCR -based marker system. It is one of the efficient and simple marker systems to study gene mapping and gene tagging in plant species (Li and Quiros 2001;Guo, et al 2021;Cheng, et al 2021), and SRAP are potential markers to assess plant systematics and genetic diversity studies (Robarts and Wolfe 2014). These past studies showed that molecular markers, including SRAP markers, are efficient to investigate genetic diversity analyses and phylogenetic relationship among Paracaryum species in Boraginaceae family.…”
