| Abstract: |
| The present study was to explore design methods for short and long primers in plant methylation research and their corresponding PCR conditions employing large number of designed primers and to analyze the effects on methylation rates using three different Taq polymerases. Results showed:a Touch-down PCR was suitable when using short primers of 17~30 bp, however, low specificity and success rates were observed; PCR performed the best when using long primers of 31~50 bp, provided that length and Tm of forward primers>those of reverse primers and 55℃ and 60℃ served as annealing and prolonging temperature, respectively; Super-Fidelity Taq polymerase like Prime STAR® HS isn't suitable for methylation research because of its 3'→5'exonuclease activities. However, PCR performed the best when using EpiTaqTM HS. |
