Parental lines FUKU and MUT were grown in a greenhouse (February to June 2018) under a long-day photoperiod (14.5 h/9.5 h) until the end of March. Developing seed was collected randomly from several plants at 40, 55, and 70 days after flowering (DAF). Total RNA was isolated from developing seed (50–100 mg) with a Total RNA Extraction Kit Mini Plant (SciTrove, Tokyo, Japan) with additional rDNase I (Takara Bio Inc., Shiga, Japan) treatment. cDNA was synthesized from 1 μg total RNA with ReverTra Ace (Toyobo, Osaka, Japan). A 5-μL aliquot (approx. 25 ng) of cDNA was used as a template. Quantitative real-time PCR was conducted as follows in a LightCycler 96 system: 95°C for 5 min for activation of enzyme, 95°C for 15 s, 60°C for 15 s, 72°C for 20 s, for a total of 40 amplification cycles. EvaGreen Dye (20× in water; Biotium, Inc., Fremont, CA, USA) was used as the fluorescent dye, and dNTPs (Takara), homemade recombinant Taq polymerase, the PCR buffer mentioned in a previous study (Yamagata et al. 2018 (link)), and 1 pmol of each gene-specific primer were used to evaluate transcript levels of target genes. Expression relative to GmACT2/7 (Glyma.19G147900), the internal reference gene, was calculated by using the 2-ΔΔCt method (Schmittgen and Livak 2008 (link)). Data from four technical replicates were analyzed. The primers used are listed in Supplemental Table 1.

For the negative control, sterilized deionized water was used to replace the DNA template. These reaction mixtures were respectively put into 200 μL centrifuge tubes, which were placed in a T100 Thermal Cycler (Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc., Hercules, CA, USA) at a constant temperature of 65 °C for 40 min. Then, the Bst 2.0 WarmStart polymerase was heat inactivated at 80 °C for 5 min to stop the reactions. When the reaction products were cooled, 1 µL of 1/10 diluted original SYBR Green I (Solarbio, Beijing, China) was added into every tube for color reaction.
To verify whether the LAMP product was the correct target fragment, conventional PCR amplification was performed with the outer primers F3 and B3. The 218-bp fragment of P. aroidearum was amplified, and was cloned into pMD18-T (Takara, Kyoto, Japan) and sequenced.

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.
