Comparison of eight methods to isolate genomic DNA from Hancornia speciosa

Mangabeira (Hancornia speciosa) is a native fruit tree found mainly in the Cerrado biome and shows great economic potential due to its multiple uses; the fruits are used in agriculture, are important as a food resource, and can be consumed in natura or processed. Due to a reduction in the area of ecosystems where it occurs, mangabeira is threatened by genetic erosio.. Read More»

DNase concentration assay to obtain DNA-free RNA from sugarcane leaves

    J.A. Santos, G.A. Luz, K.P. Oliveira, L.F. Oliveira, A.S. Andrade Júnior, S.E.S. Valente and P.S.C. Lima

The success of gene expression studies, protein synthesis, and construction of cDNA libraries directly depends on the purity and integrity of the RNA used in these tests, as even minor amounts of contaminant DNA (<1%) can produce a false positive amplification signal in quantitative real-time PCR. For RNA contaminated with genomic DNA, an essential step in the st.. Read More»

Molecular characterization of accessions of Cratylia argentea (Camaratuba) using ISSR markers

    G.A. Luz, S.O. Gomes, R.B. Araujo Neto, M.S.C.B. Nascimento and P.S.C. Lima

Cratylia argentea (Desv.) Kuntze (Fabaceae) is a drought-tolerant, perennial legume found primarily in Brazil, Bolivia, and Peru. The shrub is well adapted to acid soils and exhibits high productivity and nutritional value, characteristics that would favor its use as a dry season animal forage supplement in semiarid regions. In plant improvement programs, t.. Read More»
