Abstract:

With the development of plant molecular biology, there is a growing demand for DNA extraction from large-scale samples in plant molecular experiments. In the study, we aim to develop a rapid, simple and high-throughput DNA extraction method. Tomato leaves as test materials were freeze-dried and crushed in a 96-hole box. To simplify the extraction steps and achieve high-throughput DNA extraction, we used the improved SDS-DNA extraction method by “two-step sampling and one-step extraction”. The average concentration of DNA sample extracted by this method was about 138.6 ng/mL, which met the need of PCR amplification. Agarose gel electrophoresis showed that most of the samples had clear and complete DNA bands without obvious degradation, but accompanied by some RNA. A total of 192 samples were detected by using 3 allele-specific quantitative PCR (AQP) markers. The results showed that the overall detection results of the 3 markers were good, and all of them could effectively distinguish different allelic loci between the samples. The effective fluorescence value of samples detected ranged from 97% to 99%, such DNA samples could satisfy molecular marker detection and genetic population genotyping. In this study, a simple, rapid and high-throughput method for DNA extraction from tomato was developed, which was also suitable for DNA extraction from other plant leaf tissues. This method could be successfully applied to AQP and other similar fluorescent molecular marker detection, and provide reference for large-scale molecular marker detection and other experimental DNA sample preparation.
