Kamraj Singh*, Shalini singh, Rahul Sahu

ABSTRACT- Molecular based genetic analysis requires good quality of DNA in sufficient quantity to generate robust DNA, fingerprinting. A simple and reliable DNA extraction method for young needles (Leaves) of C. deodara has been developed in our laboratory. The NACl, and PVP were used to remove polysaccharides and polyphenols during DNA purification. The oil and proteins of young needles were removed only through centrifugation in this method. The good result of SSR (Simple sequence repeat) molecular markers on the DNA of young needles of another C. deodara indicating the DNA extracted from Young needles was free from common contaminating compounds. In conclusion this method could be widely used in DNA extraction from young needles of C. deodara.

1. INTRODUCTION

edrus deodara is an ecologically and economically important
forest tree species of western Himalayas and is considered on the endangered conifer species in this region micro-satellite markers (SSR) were used to study the genetic variation within C. deodara. Recently, this species has been used for molecular analysis, such as genetic variation analysis (Seysis et al., 2003, Pallet et al., 2006) and gene mapping (Lombard and deloureme,

2001, kole et al., 2002, Javinfar et al. 2006). Most of the plant DNA extraction methods are essentially either a CTAB method (Murray and Thompson.1980) or an SDS- potassium acetate method (Delloporta et al., 1983) However, these methods are not appropriate for a large number of DNA extractions in a short period of time such as for a large number such as for marker- assisted selection in rapeseed breeding for their time consuming, various simple method by using the leaves as materials have been developed such as a direct amplification of needles tissue (Berthomilu and Mayer, 1991) , boiling method (Thomson and Henry, 1995, Ikeda et al., 2001) and alkali treatment method (Xin et al., 2003). In other Species (Brassica napus) we have successfully tested several procedures for DNA extraction by using dry seeds as materials (Horn, 1992, Li et al., 1994) but few methods were developed for young needles C. deodara. In this paper, we reported a simple DNA extraction for young needles of C. deodara; it could be finished very quickly and could produce relatively high quality DNA for SSR molecular markers.

2. MATERIALS AND METHODS

2.1 Materials: Young needles of C. deodara were used for

DNA extraction

2.2 Methods:

2.2.1 DNA extraction method for young needles

(Leaves)

 Prepared extraction buffer (100mM Tris HCL (pH 8.0),
20 mM EDTA, 5mM Ascorbic acid, 2% C-TAB, 2% PVP).
 To 1ml of preheated extraction buffer, 3µl of β- mercaptoethanol in 2 ml eppendorf tubes was added.
 The leaves were ground in alcohol wiped mortar and pestle with continuous addition of liquid nitrogen and the powder were transferred to the eppendorf tubes containing pre-heated extraction buffer.
 Vortex the eppendorf tubes for 15 seconds.
 Incubated in water bath for 30 minutes at 600C.
 Added 500µl solution of chloroform : isoamyl alcohol
(24:1) followed by inversion.
 Centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 5 min (40C).
 Supernatant was transferred to 1.5 ml eppendorf tubes carefully.
 Added 500µl of cold (-200C) isopropanol and mixed by inversion.
 Incubated overnight at - 200C. Then centrifuged at 40C at
13,000 rpm for 15 minutes to obtain pellet.
 Added 998µl of 76% ethanol and 2µl of ammonium acetate followed by its inversion for minutes on gel rocker.
 Again centrifuged for 5 minutes and added 500µl of 70% ethanol and centrifuge for 15 minutes at 40C at 13,000 rpm.
 Vacuum dried the pellet and dissolved in 100-200µl of
TE buffer.

2.2.2SSR analysis: -

5SSR primers, Pt15169, Pt26081, Pt3020, Pt71936 and Pcp

26106 were used for SSR analysis. The PCR procedure was followed the method of Saal et al. (2001) and LI et al. (2005). The PCR reaction profiles were as followed: 940C at 60 sec followed by 35 cycles of 60 sec at 940C, 60 s at 610C and 1.5 min at 720C, extension at 720Cfor 10 min. and then head at
40C. The 20µl formamide loading Buffer was added into
selective amplification reaction product, the mixed sample were denatured in 950C for 5 min. cooled on ice and then analysis in 6% PAGE gel. The gel was stained with silver staining kits according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION:-

The materials that used in DNA extraction were fresh needles in most cases (Murray and Thompson, 1980; Dellaporta et al.,
1983; Saghai- Maroof et al., 1984; Doyle and Doyle, 1987; Lange et al., 1998). The DNA extraction method by using the seeds as material was also reported in some crops, such as in
rice (Chunwonges et al., 1993; Peng et al., 2002), corn
(McDonald et al., 1994) and Soyabean (Young et al., 2003). We have obtained higher quality of DNA from fresh needles of C. deodara by using the protocol outline above. The fatty acid and proteins were the main components of the needles of C. deodara. For fatty acid has lower density and non- polar characteristic, it could easily be distinguished from the aqueous phase when it involved into centrifugation. The phenol and chloroform were frequently used for protein removing in custom DNA extraction method; it needed only need a short centrifugation to separate DNA from all the other contaminants in our present protocol, for the most of proteins removed in the insoluble precipitate. The 1M Nacl was added into extraction buffer to remove the polysaccharides by increasing their solubility in ethanol (Fange et al., 1992). In order to remove polyphenols from the fresh needles, the PVP was added to the extraction buffer according to the result of Maliyakal (1992).
By using the DNA extraction protocol outlined above, we have obtained higher quality of DNA from fresh needles of C. deodara with A260/ A280 between 1.7 and 2.0, which indicated that protein could be removed through centrifugation. The DNA was further analysed in agarose gel, there was no DNA degradation and the average size of the bands was about 20 kb (Fig.1). The DNA extracted from fresh needles was successfully used in SSR analysis. Good amplification result of SSR molecular markers also verified the good quality of these 25 DNA samples (Fig. 2) RNA could be removed by digesting the sample with RNAse (Horn.
1992). In our experiment, we found that the RNA did not interfered with marker development, so the step for add the RNAse A may be removed in our developed protocol. In conclusion, our newly developed DNA extraction protocol can produce clean and high –quality DNA that is suitable for SSR molecular analysis in C. deodara.
