Eleven primers previously described to be polymorphic for the jatropha genus were selected for this study. A detailed description of primers with their motif and sequence is shown in Table II.
For primer amplifications, the reaction was performed with the final volume of 25 µL containing 50 ηg of DNA, 6 µL of 5X reaction buffer, 1.5 mM MgCl 2 , 200 μM of each dNTP, 0.2 µM of each primer (Sigma, USA) and 2U of Taq DNA polymerase (Go Taq Flexi, Promega, USA). Samples were amplified in a gradient thermal cycler (Gradient Multigene, Labnet International, USA) using a touchdown program, with initial denaturation at 94°C for 5 min, followed by 8 denaturation cycles at 94°C for 50s, with the annealing temperature decreased 1ºC in each cycle from 62 to 55°C for 45s and 72°C for 1 min. This step was followed by 33 amplification cycles with denaturation at 94°C for 50 s, annealing at 54°C for 45 s and extension at 72°C for 1 min. Finally an amplification was concluded with final extension at 72°C for 10 min.
The amplified PCR product was run on a 6% denaturing polyacrylamide gel using 60W power for variable duration according to the expected size of the alleles. Then the resulting gels were stained with silver nitrate according to the method described by Creste et al. (2001) . After drying overnight at room temperature, the gels were photographed on a UV light box.

Fourteen ISSR markers were selected, based on their polymorphisms, and used in this study to analyze the genetic diversity among the Myrciaria dubia populations (Table 1). The DNA amplifications were performed in a thermal cycler gradient (Gradient Multigene; Labnet International, USA). The final reaction volume was 25 µL, containing 20 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.3, 1.5 mM MgCl 2 , 100 mM KCl, 0.10% Triton X-100, 200 µM each deoxyribonucleotide triphosphate (dNTP), 0.8 µM primer, 1.5 U enzyme GoTaq Flexi DNA polymerase (Prodimol, USA), and 50 ng DNA. In the polymerase chain reactions (PCR), the samples were initially subjected to 95°C for 2 min, followed by 40 amplification cycles consisting of 95°C for 45 s, 1 min annealing temperature (ranging from 47-52°C, depending on the primer used), and an extension step at 72°C for 2 min. After the cycles, the samples were kept at 72°C for 5 min for final extension. The PCR products were separated on a 1.5% agarose gel containing 0.2 mg/ mL EtBr (ethidium bromide) using horizontal gel electrophoresis run at 100 mV for at least 3 h in 1X TBE buffer. All gels were visualized and recorded using a UV image digitalizer (Uvitec, USA).

Total genomic DNA of AY001 was extracted using HiGene Genomic DNA Prep Kit (BIOFACT, Daejeon, Korea) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Molecular identification of AY001 was performed by sequencing the amplified 16S rRNA region using primers 27F (5′-AGTTTGATCCTGGCTCAG-3′) and 1492R (5′-GTTACCTTGTTACGACTT-3′). PCR amplification was performed in a 30 μL reaction mixture containing 15 μL of 2X Taq PCR Pre-Mix (Solgent, Daejeon, Korea), 1 μL of primers mix, and 1 μL of gDNA template. PCR amplification was carried out using a thermal cycler (Multigene Gradient, Labnet, Edison, NJ, USA) by following amplification conditions: initial denaturation at 95 °C for 5 min, 33 cycles of 94 °C for 30 s, 58 °C for 30 s, 72 °C for 40 s, and final extension at 72 °C for 10 min. PCR product was purified, sequenced (Solgent, Daejeon, Korea), and analyzed with NCBI’s GenBank sequence database (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, accessed on 1 March 2020) to identify the closest species relatives. The phylogenetic tree was constructed by MEGA-X software using the Maximum Likelihood method [21 (link)].

DNA was extracted from young leaves using the Isolate II plant DNA kit (Bioline) following the manufacturer's instructions. DNA quality was examined by electrophoresis on 1 % agarose gels and DNA quantity was estimated using the spectrophotometer method. DNA 14 ISSR primers previously displayed reliable and polymorphic banding patterns were used in this study (Liu et al., 2007 , Athanasiadis et al., 2013) . The PCR amplifications were performed in a volume of 12.5µl, containing 12 ng of template DNA, 2.5 mM MgCl2, 0.8 mM dNTPs, 0.8 µM of each primer, 1X buffer and 0.75U of Taq DNA polymerase (promega, Madison, WI. USA). All PCR reactions were conducted in a DNA thermocycler (Multigene gradient, Labnet, NJ. USA) through 30 cycles, each consisting of 94°C for denaturation step (45 s), 45 s at the corresponding annealing temperature (°C), and a 72°C extension step (2 min), using the fastest available transitions between each temperature. Gradient PCR was used to adjust the annealing temperature of each primer. The last cycle was followed by a final extension for 7 min at 72°C. PCR products were separated by electrophoresis on 1.7% agarose with Ethidium Bromide in a TAE buffer and visualized by means of a Gel Doc system (Enduro TM GDS, Labnet). The sizes of amplification products were estimated using DNA marker (1 Kb, Invitrogen).

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.
