Establishment and Application of a Multiplex PCR System for the Detection of Blast Resistance Genes Pi-ta and Pi-b in Rice

Rice blast is one of the important diseases in major rice producing areas of China. The main blast resistance genes Pi-ta and Pi-b showed broad-spectrum and durable resistance to rice blast in many rice growing areas of China, which have been widely utilized in rice breeding and commercial production. In this study, on the basis of detection and verification of the genotypes of 22 rice varieties har- boring known blast resistance genes （Pi-ta and Pi-b） and blast susceptibility genes （pi-ta and pi-b）, two multiple PCR systems for these genes were established by us- ing the functional markers of blast resistance genes Pi-ta and Pi-b as well as blast susceptibility genes pi-ta and pi-b, respectively. Specifically, multiple PCR system I could simultaneously detect blast resistance genes Pi-ta and Pi-b, while system II could detect simultaneously blast susceptibility genes pi-ta and pi-b. In addition, the genotypes of 336 high generation breeding materials were detected with these two multiple PCR systems. The results were highly consistent with those of conventional single mark detection, indicating that these two multiplex PCR systems were stable, reliable and time-saving. The established multiplex PCR systems may serve as a rapid and efficient method to identify and screen rice germplasm resources and can be applied in marker-assisted selection to polymerize multiple genes for blast resis- tance in rice breeding.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is one of the diseases damaging people health most badly and some mutations of exons in cardiac troponin I (cTnI) gene are closely associated with family hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHCM).A microarray was fabricated to screen mutations in exons 3,5,7,and 8 in cTnI gene.Primers were designed for the PCR (polymerase chain reaction) to amplify the target DNA fragments from fresh blood samples.In order to simplify the PCR process,multiplex PCR technology was investigated in detail.The concentration of Mg^(2+) played an important role in multiplex PCR process,a properly low concentration of Mg^(2+) submitted a better speciality of PCR products.The speciality was also favored when the annealing temperature was reasonably enhanced and 64℃is the optimal annealing temperature for the multiplex PCR systems.When applying the fabricated gene-chip to detect the target fragments from PCR mixture,the signal intensity sequence is in accordance with that from theoretic estimate.

Late blight caused by the oomycete Phytophthora infestans Montagne de Bary is a devastating disease on potato production. A total of six parameters affecting the PCR system in P. infestans were investigated based on the template DNA of the isolate HH06-23 and EST-SSR primer pair Pi08N.

In addition, using the optimal PCR system, a total of 20 isolates of P. infestans were used for testing the stability and polymorphism of the PCR amplification. The clarity and abundant polymorphism indicated that this system was stable and suitable for researching the genetic diversity ofP. infestans population.

Optimization of Quantitative Real-time PCR System on Amplification of Beta-glucosidase Gene Os1bglu4

[Objective] This study aimed to establish a quantitative real-time PCR （qRT-PCR） system for detecting the expression of rice beta-glucosidase gene Os1bglu4.[Method] The PCR was conducted with SYBR Green Ⅰ method,using the primers of reference gene actin or ubiquitin.[Result] Actin was more suitable to be the reference gene than ubiquitin.More accurate results were obtained when the 100 ng cDNA template was added at a large volume and a lower concentration.The primer concentration in the range from 0.2 to 0.8 μmol/L we set had no significant influence on the results,so,0.4 μmol/L was selected as the optimal primer concentration in this study.The amplification efficiency was greatly reduced when the annealing temperature was set at 64 ℃,therefore,annealing temperature was set at 60 ℃.Compared with the reaction system of 25 μl,the fluorescence intensity was significantly lower but the CT value did not change greatly in 10 μl system.So,the 10 μl reaction system was selected,which significantly reduces the research costs for the detection of a large amount of samples in future study.

Standardization of a Real-time PCR System for Quantitative Detection of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae

This study was conducted to develop a method for accurate quantification of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae during vaccine production or experimental research. Primer and probe concentration that gave the highest ΔRn and the lowest Ct were selected to establish the real-time PCR system for the detection of M. hyopneumoniae. Template DNA of M. hyopneumoniae was extracted by boiling under different conditions and detected by real-time PCR to determine the optimal conditions for DNA extraction. Thereafter, intra-and inter-batch reproducibility tests were carried out using a standard plasmid to evaluate the stability of the PCR system. Subsequently, the effect of medium composition on the quantitative detection was evaluated. Finally, the correlation between real-time PCR and CCU method was explored. The optimal primer and probe concentration for real-time PCR were 0.4 and 0.2 μmol/L, respectively. The intra-and inter-batch coefficients of variation(CV) in Ct value of 10~4-10~9 copies/μl standard plasmid were <5%, indicating good reproducibility of the real-time PCR system. Following incubation in a boiling water bath for 10 min, M. hyopneumoniae samples can be used directly as a template in subsequent real-time PCR assays,and good intra-batch and inter-batch reproducibility was observed. The working concentration of KM2 medium should be less than the 1/10 of the concentration of the stock solution to minimize its influence on the quantitative detection. Spearman's correlation analysis revealed that the log of CCU and the log of DNA copy number had a significant positive relationship(r=0.797,P=0.000). Thus, the two methods can be used in combination in the quantitative detection of M. hyopneumoniae. In summary, a rapid, stable and accurate quantitative PCR system for detecting M. hyopneumoniae culture was established in this study, which provides a technical means for accurate quantification of M. hyopneumoniae in vaccine production and laboratory tests.
