Hornwort Tissue Extraction and DNA Isolation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A total of 168 hornwort samples were collected. Fresh hornworts were cleaned in sterile water to remove all adhering soil. They were first rinsed in multiple changes of sterile water using vortexing and forceps to dislodge soil particles. Once most of the soil was removed, the plants were sonicated in sterile water at 1% amplitude for 15 seconds in intervals of 3 seconds with 2 second rests in between. This protocol was determined by testing for the strongest sonication that would not break the hornwort cells. Plants were then blotted dry on clean Kimwipes and transferred to homogenization tubes with 2mm zirconia beads. Tubes holding the plants were frozen with liquid nitrogen and ground for two minutes at 1,300 strokes/min on a SPEX SamplePrep 1600 MiniG tissue homogenizer in a metal box pre-chilled in liquid nitrogen.
DNA was extracted from plant tissues using the E.Z.N.A. Plant DNA Kit (Omega Bio-Tek).

About 1.5 g of the surface-sterilized plant sample was frozen with liquid nitrogen and ground to a fine powder in a sterilized and precooled mortar. DNA was extracted using a Plant DNA Kit (Omega Bio-Tek, Norcross, USA) and the V3-V4 hypervariable region of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene amplified using Bac 341f (5′-CCTACACGACGCTCTTCCGATCTN-3′) and Univ 805r (5′-GACTGGAGT TCCTTGGCACCCGAGAATTCCA-3′) primers. The 50 μl PCR reaction mixture contained 100 ng of DNA extract, 1× Taq reaction buffer, 20 pmol of each primer, 200 μM each dNTP and 1.5 U of Taq DNA polymerase (Sangong Biotech, China). DNA aliquots were PCR-amplified with 5 min denaturation at 95 °C, 30 cycles of 1 min at 94 °C, 50 s at 55 °C, and 72 °C for 1 min, after which a final elongation step at 72 °C for 5 min was performed. All samples were amplified. Replicate PCR products of the same sample were assembled within a PCR tube. Then they were visualized on agarose gels (2% in TBE buffer) containing ethidium bromide, and purified with a DNA gel extraction kit (Sangong Biotech, China). After purification, the concentration of the PCR products was measured on Qubit®2.0 Fluorometer using the PicoGreen® dsDNA quantitation assay (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). DNA concentration was adjusted to 1 ng/ml. The amplicon libraries were prepared by pooling 10 ng of each PCR.

Fresh mycelia growing on PDA (Condalab, Madrid, Spain) plates at 22 °C was scraped and ground to a fine powder under liquid nitrogen in a mortar. DNA was extracted using the E.Z.N.A. Plant DNA kit (Omega Biotek, Norcross, GA, USA) or NZY Plant/Fungi gDNA Isolation kit (NZYTech, Lisbon, Portugal) following the manufacturer instructions. DNA obtained with the latter kit was used only for microsatellite analysis. DNA quantity and quality was measured using a spectrophotometer (NanoDrop 2000, ThermoFisher Scietific, Waltham, MA, USA). For molecular marker analysis, only high-quality DNA was used, with absorbance ratio 260/280 and 260/230 > 1.8.

Conidia suspensions. DNA was extracted from conidia suspensions using the short protocol from the E.Z.N.A. Plant DNA Kit (Omega Bio-tek, Norcross, GA, USA), with modifications described by Zúñiga et al. (2018) as follows: 0.15 g of 500-750 μm glass beads (Acros Organics, Geel, Belgium) were added to 700 μL of the extraction buffer in each sample, and the samples were vortexed for 15 min at 50 Hz. DNA quality and concentration were checked and measured with a Nanodrop 2000 spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific). DNA samples were stored at -20 °C until further use. Spore trap samples. DNA was extracted from the air-exposed plastic tapes used in the sporetrapping device (see below) by following the short protocol of the E.Z.N.A. Plant DNA Kit (Omega Bio-tek). Extraction, and DNA quantity and quality checking were conducted as described above and DNA was stored at -20 °C until further use.

Plant DNA Extraction from Leaf Samples

E.Z.N.A. Plant DNA kit (OMEGA BIO-TEK Inc., PW, Norcross, GA, USA) was used for fungal DNA extraction from single leaves, representing each one of the sampled trees, and as we failed to extract DNA from one of the leaves, the molecular work for this study was conducted on only 71 leaf samples. Following the provider’s protocol, 30 mg of leaf powder was used in each extraction. DNA was eluted from the mini columns with 50 µl elution buffer and then stored in a 1.5 ml Eppendorf tube at -20 °C. The concentration of each DNA extract was measured using a Nanodrop ND-1000 spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Wilmington, DE 19810, USA) at wavelengths of 260/280 and 260/230 nm.

Genotypic Basis for Drought Response

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Because the pine woodland under study results from reforestation activities, we verified the eventual genotypic basis for different responses to drought between D and H trees, as a possible consequence of different seeds provenances. Three chloroplast microsatellites loci [simple sequence repeats (SSRs)] were analysed (Naydenov et al., 2006 ). In April 2015, green needles of 50 trees per experimental category were collected from trees belonging to different age classes (20–100 years old), grinded in liquid nitrogen and stored frozen. Total DNA was extracted with the E.Z.N.A. kit (Plant DNA kit, Omega Bio-tek Inc, Norcross, GA, USA), quantified with a spectrophotometer (NanoDrop, Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA, USA) and three plastome microsatellites loci (Pt30204, Pt71936, Pt45002) were amplified with fluorescently labelled primers (Naydenov et al., 2006 ). Amplicons were resolved on agarose gel to verify amplification efficiency and quality and finally molecular weights were analysed using the ABI 3130 capillary sequencer with a ROX-labelled size standard (ABI 3130 Genetic Analyzer, Applied Biosystem, CA, USA). As a control, the same loci were also analysed in needles of three individuals of Pinus halepensis.

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.
