Quantification of roots and seeds in soil with real-time PCR

Study of roots and associated organisms in soil particularly in mixed plant populations, such as pastures, is limited by difficulties in quantification of root growth and function. The research evaluated the potential of DNA quantification by real-time PCR to improve our capacity to study and unders...

description Study of roots and associated organisms in soil particularly in mixed plant populations, such as pastures, is limited by difficulties in quantification of root growth and function. The research evaluated the potential of DNA quantification by real-time PCR to improve our capacity to study and understand roots in such contexts. Probes and primers were developed for two common pasture species, Trifolium subterraneum and Lolium perenne (and closely related Lolium spp.), and evaluated for specificity and sensitivity in TaqMan assays on DNA extracted from soil. Further experiments examined the ability to detect DNA in dead roots, the changes in root DNA levels of plants defoliated or treated with herbicide and the relationship between DNA and root dry weight for single and mixed plant species grown in pots. T. subterraneum DNA/PCR 200 fg/µl was detected at 17.5 cycles and L. perenne at 19.5 cycles. The assay for T. subterraneum was species specific but the L. perenne assay, as anticipated from the choice of probe, also detected some closely related species. The assays were sensitive and capable of detecting equivalent to
