Abstract:

Objective: To establish a simple, fast and effective DNA extraction method from transgenic rice. Methods: DNA extraction methods including traditional CTAB method, improved alkali-treated method and boiling-treated method for DNA extraction from transgenic brown rice, non-transgenic brown rice and transgenic milled rice were compared to screen the optimal extraction method. Results: The integrity, purity and PCR result of template DNA extracted by improved alkali-treated method were similar with the DNA extracted by traditional CTAB method. Meanwhile, compared with traditional CTAB method, improved alkali-treated method had higher DNA extraction rate, less consuming time and lower cost. Conclusion: Improved alkalitreated method can replace traditional CTAB method as DNA extraction method for the detection of transgenic rice.

Key words: rice, DNA extraction, improved alkali-treated method, detection of transgene
