Total RNA was extracted from organ tissues (leaves, roots, stems, seeds, and flowers) and the extract was treated with TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). A Power cDNA synthesis kit (iNtRON Biotechnology, Korea) was used to synthesize first-strand circular DNA (cDNA) from 1 μg total RNA according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to confirm the specificity of gene-specific primers designed using Primer-BLAST (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/tools/primer-blast/index.cgi? LINK_LOC=BlastHome) (Additional file 6: Table S3). Diluted cDNAs were used as templates for semi-quantitative real-time (RT)-PCR analysis. Semi-qRT-PCR was performed as follows: initial denaturation at 95 °C for 5 min, followed by 35 cycles of 1 min at 95 °C, 30 s at 58 °C, 1 min at 72 °C, and a final elongation step at 72 °C for 5 min. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed using EvaGreen 2X qPCR Mastermix (ABM, Vancouver, BC, Canada) on a CFX-96 RT-PCR systems (Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc., Hercules, CA, USA) with three independent replicates. Gene expression was calculated as the fold change using the 2−ΔΔCT method [50 (link)].

Five unigenes related to the biosynthesis of anthocyanin and 10 unigenes associated with the biosynthesis of carotenoids were chosen for quantitative reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (qRT–PCR) analysis. For qRT–PCR, the TransStart Top Green qPCR SuperMix (TransGen Biotech, Beijing, China) and a Bio-Rad CFX96 RT-PCR system (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) were used with the following reaction conditions: denaturation at 94 °C for 60 s and 45 cycles of amplification (94 °C for 5 s, 60 °C for 15 s, and 72 °C for 10 s). The 2−ΔΔCt method was used for calculating the relative expression levels of target genes against the internal control [74 (link)]. To normalize the relative expression levels of target genes, the H. macrophylla actin gene was employed as a control [75 ]. Supplementary Table S1 lists the gene-specific primers. For each experiment, three biological and three technical replicates were used.

cDNA was generated using High-Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription Kit (Thermo Fisher, Cambridge, MA, USA). This cDNA was used for qPCR using the Taqman system (Fast Advanced Mastermix, supplemental figure for full list of probes) (Thermo Fisher, Cambridge, MA, USA). qPCR was conducted utilizing a BioRad CFX96 RT-PCR system (BioRad, Hercules, CA, USA) with the specific hiPSC maintenance cultures used as controls. All samples were run in technical triplicates. If a value never crossed the threshold the value of the last cycle run was used for ddCT calculations. The housekeeping gene used was 18S and the controls were always the hiPSC maintenance cultures for the specific hiPSC line

The total RNA of yeast strains cultivated in three M3 media for 12 h was extracted using the RNA simple Total RNA kit (Tiangen Biotech (Beijing) Co., Ltd.), following the manufacturer’s instructions. Subsequently, DNA elimination and reverse transcription were performed using the HiScript II QRT SuperMix (Vazyme Biotech Co., Ltd., Nanjing, China). Then, PCR was quantified on the CFX96TM RT-PCR system (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) after adding the ChamQ Universal SYBR qPCR Master Premix (Vazyme Biotech Co., Ltd.). Finally, the relative expression levels of mRNA were determined using the 2−∆∆CT method [44 (link)]. Among them, ΔCTs were derived by the CTs (cycle thresholds) of the target genes (YAT, GOT1, his C, PDC, and ADH5) minus the CT of ENO1, which served as the housekeeping gene. ΔΔCTs were calculated by ΔCTs from the target genes minus the CT of the control gene. Fold changes were determined using the 2−∆∆CT method. The primers of related genes are listed in Table 2.

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.
