Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The absolute abundance of atmospheric methane-oxidizing bacteria (atmMOB) was measured by quantitative PCR (qPCR) to estimate the potency of atmMOB. The gene abundances of USCγ and USCα were determined using primer sets A189/gam634r (50 (link)) and A189/forest675r (51 (link)) and the TB Green system (RR820A; TaKaRa, Japan) with a real-time PCR detection system (CFX96; Bio-Rad, USA). All reactions were performed in triplicate in 20-μl volumes containing 1 μl template DNA, 10 μl 2× TB Green master mixture (RR820A; TaKaRa, Japan), 0.5 μl forward primer (10 μM), 0.5 μl reverse primer (10 μM), 3.2 μl 25 mM MgCl2, and 4.8 μl RNase-free water (H9012; TaKaRa, Japan). Standard curves were constructed with plasmid containing the target gene fragment, diluted to 109 to 103 gene copies · μl−1. The thermal cycling steps to determine USC gene abundance followed the protocols described previously in references 50 (link) and 51 (link), except that the annealing temperatures were 64°C for USCα and 64.5°C for USCγ. Triplicate PCRs were done for each of the triplicate environmental samples to quantify the pmoA gene abundances of the USC clades (n = 108, contains 9 replicates). The results of qPCR were expressed as gene copy numbers per gram dry weight (copies · g−1 dry weight). The average R2 of the standard curve was 0.997, and the amplification efficiency was within the range of 95% to 105%.

We also sampled parental seeds at 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 DPA in Yangling, Shaanxi Province (N34°27′, E108°07′), in 2022. Quantitative color analysis of the seed coat was performed with a CIE-Lab color scale (Colorimeter, CS-820, Hangzhou, China) with a 6 mm aperture due to the small sample size (Dong et al., 2022 (link)). All samples were flash frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80°C in the refrigerator until needed. Total seed RNA was extracted using a kit (DP441, TIANGEN, China) and first-strand cDNA was synthesized by the PrimeScript RT reagent kit (#6210A, Takara, Kusatsu, Japan). Three independent biological replicates of the qRT−PCR (#RR820A, Takara, Kusatsu, Japan) protocol were tested using cDNA as the template for each experiment. The sesame actin gene (SIN_1006268) was used as the internal reference gene (Wei et al., 2015 (link)), and relative gene expression was calculated using the 2− ΔΔCT method (Livak and Schmittgen, 2001 (link)).

The analysis was performed on an ABI 7500-Fast Real-Time PCR System (Applied BioSystems, Foster City, USA). Reaction settings were as follows: first 95 °C for 30 s, followed by 40 cycles of 95 °C for 5 s and 60 °C for 34 s. The real-time PCR primers were synthesised as shown in Supplementary Materials Table S1. The housekeeping gene GAPDH was used to normalise the target gene expression. The comparative threshold cycle (2−∆∆Ct) calculation was used to quantify relative gene expression.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
