INTRODUCTION
Taro is a common name for the corms and tubers of several plants in the Araceae family. Colocasia esculenta is the most widely cultivated. Taro is native to Southern India and Southeast Asia. It is a perennial, tropical plant primarily grown as a root vegetable for its edible starchy corm, and as a leaf vegetable. It is a food staple in African, Oceanic and South Indian cultures and is believed to have been one of the earliest cultivated plants.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Preparation of culture media as per requirements.
Preparation of stock solution. Invitro establishment of explants of taro. Maintenance of culture. Subculture.
Invitro establishment of explants of taro
Explants preparation
Shoot tips with a little piece of corm tissue were excised
Surface sterilization
Washing of explants with 0.1% solution of tween-20 detergent.
Shaking and mixing for 5 min.
Washed thoroughly with distilled water
Cleaned explants were subjected to 0.1% mercuric chloride solution treatment for 10 min.
Rinsed with sterilized distilled water 4-5 times.
Treatment with bavistin streptomycin and washed with sterilized distilled water.
Inoculation of surface-sterilized explants on Z10
Medium under aseptic condition.
Incubate, maintain the culture and grown for 30 days.
Subculturing on Z10 medium and then transfer to
field for plant growth.
DNA EXTRACTION CTAB METHOD
DNA PURIFICATION
There are several methods for purifying DNA. The one you choose depends on the nature of your DNA sample.
For eg:- By centrifugation at 15000 rpm for 15 min etc.
DNA QUANTIFICATIONBecause DNA and RNA absorb ultraviolet light, with a absorption peak at 260nm wavelength, spectrophotometers are commonly used to determine the concentration of DNA in a solution. Inside a spectrophotometer, a sample is exposed to ultraviolet light at 260 nm, and a photo-detector measures the light that passes through the sample. The more light absorbed by the sample, the higher the nucleic acid concentration in the sample.
PCR STEPS
PCR PROCESS
AGAROSE GEL ELECTROPHORESIS
2% agarose gel is prepared
Sample is loaded in the wells of the gel
DNA bands under trans illuminator
After the electrophoresis of the DNA sample the result is visualizes under UV transilluminator.
The bands are then observed under UV light.
The ladder is loaded along with the samples to verify that the resultant band is the desired
DNA sample.
OBSERVATION
Bands under UV
RESULTS:-
This project will result in the production of numerous disease-free plant materials of elite.
High yielding varieties of taro which will be distributed to local farmers and for international exchange.
Establishment of an invitro germplasm collection will ensure the protection of different taro varieties from environmental stresses.
It will also ensure conservation of these valuable genetic resources for future breeding activities and for the younger generation.
THANK
YOU
