Abstract:

This study optimized the method of modified CTAB from fruit fleshes such as papaya, ect. The results showed that the optimum amount of lyophilized fruit powder is 0.10 g and the best proportion of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) added into extraction buffer is 1.0%. Furthermore, by this method, the effects of polyphenolics and polysaccharides in fleshes are effectively removed, the concentration of isolated genomic DNAs is high, and the value of A260/A280 is between 1.80 and 2.00. Compared to SDS method and DNA extraction kit, this modified CTAB method is better. Using DNAs isolated from papaya, cantaloupe, banana and pear as templates, endogenous rbcL genes are amplified through PCR reaction and objective bands of about 433 bp are obtained.

Key words: genetically modified organism (GMO), fruits, DNA extraction
