The probe that detects the KanMX gene was obtained by NotI-digestion of the pFA6-kanMX4 plasmid [79 (link)]. The probe that detects DSB induction was a PCR fusion product of the KanMX coding sequence and the LTE1 locus, which were amplified by the primer pair KSX050/89 and KS3004/3005, respectively. The probe that detects endogenous telomeres or telomere addition at the ADH4 locus has been described [35 (link),78 (link)]. DNA probes were DIG-dUTP—or 32P-labeled by using the DIG prime (Roche) or the Random Primer DNA Labeling Kit (Clontech), respectively. Genomic DNA was purified using a MasterPure yeast DNA purification kit (Epicentre).

FISH experiments were performed as previously described54 (link),55 (link). To generate FISH probes, plasmid, cosmid, or PCR products were labeled by incorporation of Cy3-dCTP or Cy5-dCTP (GE Healthcare) with a random primer DNA labeling kit (Takara). The plasmid pRS140 and cosmid cos212 were used to prepare FISH probes against centromeres and telomeres, respectively54 (link),56 (link). FISH probes for other gene loci were generated using PCR-amplified DNA fragments (~15 kb).
IF experiments were performed as previously described52 (link),57 (link). Fixed cells were incubated with primary antibodies such as 1:10,000 diluted rabbit polyclonal anti-Myc (ab9106, Abcam) and 1:1,000 diluted mouse monoclonal anti-Pk (SV5-Pk1, Serotech). Cells were subsequently incubated with secondary antibodies such as 1:1,000 diluted Cy3-conjugated anti-mouse IgG (115-165-003, Jackson ImmunoResearch) and 1:1,000 diluted Alexa Flour 488-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG (A11034, Molecular Probes). FISH and IF images were captured using a Zeiss Axioimager Z1 fluorescence microscope with an oil immersion objective lens (Plan Apochromat, 100×, NA 1.4, Zeiss). The images were acquired at 0.2-μm intervals in the z axis controlled by Axiovision 4.6.3 software (Zeiss). More than 100 cells were analyzed for microscopic experiments.

RNA Extraction and Transcript Analysis

Total RNA was isolated from the frozen samples using the Plant RNeasy extraction kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA). The splicing pattern of the intron-containing genes was analyzed by RT-PCR using the gene-specific primers listed in Additional file 8 as previously described [43 (link)]. Splicing efficiency was measured by real-time RT-PCR using the gene-specific primers listed in Additional file 9 as previously described [32 (link), 41 (link)]. The levels of chloroplast transcripts were measured by quantitative RT-PCR using the gene-specific primers listed in Additional file 10. Real-time RT-PCR was carried out on a Rotor-Gene Q thermal cycler (Qiagen) using a SYBR Green RT-PCR kit (Qiagen). For northern blot analysis, four or five micrograms of total RNA were separated on a 1.2% formaldehyde-agarose gel and transferred to a Hybond-N+ nylon membrane (Amersham Biosciences, Parsippany, NJ, USA). The [α-32P]-labeled probes were synthesized using a random primer DNA labeling kit (TaKaRa Bio., Shiga, Japan). Hybridization, washing, and detection of signals were performed essentially as described previously [32 (link)].

Genomic DNA of Reyan7–33-97 was extracted from mature leaves using the CTAB DNA extraction method. One pair of primers (the sense primer: 5′-AACAAAGAAACAGTTGCTGGATAAG-3′ and the reverse primer: 5′-CCTGAGTCATGTTATTAGCCAC-3′) was designed based on the cDNA and genomic sequences of HbSUT5, and used to amplify an intron-free fragment of 530-bp long that contains no enzyme cutting sites of Bcu I, Xba I, BspT I and Bcl I. The amplified fragment was digoxigenin-labeled with the Random Primer DNA Labeling Kit (TaKaRa, China), and used as the probe in subsequent Southern blot analysis. The 10 μg genomic DNA was digested by Bcu I, Xba I, BspT I and Bcl I overnight. The digested product was separated on 0.8% agarose gel and transferred onto a Hybond-N+ membrane (Amersham Pharmacia, USA). And the protocols of Southern blot analysis were performed according to the detailed instructions [67 ]. The Reverse Northern blot assays were performed to analyze the relative transcript abundance of the six HbSUT genes in bark as described previously [19 (link)].

Total RNA was extracted from 4-week-old mature leaves with Trizol reagent (Invitrogen). 50 μg of RNA enriched for small RNAs was separated by acrylamide gel electrophoresis, followed by Northern blot analysis according to published protocols44 (link). To detect small RNAs at the target regions, a PCR fragment was labeled with 32P-α-dCTP by using the Random primer DNA labeling kit (Takara). The miR167, miR159, U6 and LNA were probed with end-labeled oligonucleotides by T4 polynucleotide kinase (NEB). Northern blot signals were detected with a phosphor imager (Fuji). For RT- and qRT-PCR, total RNA was treated with Turbo DNA-free (Ambion) and reverse transcribed by TransScript II (TransGen Biotech) with gene specific primers or oligo (dT) primer. For detection of antisense transcripts, 2 pmol of forward primer was used for reverse transcription reaction in 20 μl volume. The sequences of the primers and oligonucleotides are listed (Supplementary Table S1).

Transformed clones were screened using dot-blot hybridization, following the method described by Zhang et al. (2016) (link). For probe labeling, the rye genomic DNA was labeled by digoxigenin-11-dUTP with a random primer DNA labeling kit (Takara Bio, Shiga, Japan) according to the manufacturer’s instructions, but using 1× DIG DNA labeling mix instead of the dNTP in the kit. The darker blots, which were interpreted as high copy number repetitive sequences, were then used in subsequent FISH for chromosomal distribution analysis and sequence identification.

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.
