RESUMO

In this study, we compared the quality of DNA extracted using the modified CTAB method, from Rheum palmatum leaves preserved using fourteen different methods, including ones used commonly in other species: under ultra-cold (-80°C) temperatures, after drying with an absorbent paper, desiccating using a silica gel, drying at 60°C, in 70% ethanol, absolute ethanol, 70% ethanol supplemented with 50 mM EDTA, SDS-DNA extracting solution, nuclear separation buffer, improved NaCl-CTAB solution, TE-buffer, I-solution, or II-solution. DNA extracted from fresh leaves was used as the control. The quality of extracted DNA was evaluated based on the success of PCR amplification of the ITS2 region and a microsatellite marker. DNA was not extracted from samples preserved in the nuclear separation buffer and II-solution. The purities of DNA extracted from leaves preserved in ultra-cold temperatures, 70% ethanol, and 70% ethanol with 50 mM EDTA, and after desiccating using a silica gel and drying were higher, and comparable to the purity of DNA extracted from fresh leaves, than those of leaves preserved using other methods. In the present study, combined with the PCR amplifications, the preservation using ultra-cold temperatures, silica gel desiccation, or drying, and PCR amplification of the extracted DNA can be used for further molecular studies in R. palmatum.

RESUMO

Rheum palmatum, one of the source plants of the traditional Chinese medicine rhubarb, is anendemic and endangered species. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the chromosome number and karyotype of this species. Sectioning combined with micrography was used to analyze the karyotype. The following results were obtained: R. palmatum had a stable chromosome number 2n = 22; the basic number of chromosomes was 11; karyotype formula is 2n = 22 = 20 metacentric + 2 submetacentric, belonging to Stebbins' 1A type; and karyotype asymmetry index was 55.39%. The present study showed that R. palmatum has a primitive type of karyotype.

RESUMO

Chloroplast microsatellite primers were developed in order to provide more population genetic information of endangered Rheum officinale, R. palmatum, and R. tanguticum for conservation. The dried roots and rhizomes of these plants are important in traditional Chinese medicine. The results showed that the optimum concentrations of Mg(2+), Taq DNA polymerase, dNTPs, template DNA, and primers in a 25-µL reaction system were 2.0 mM, 1.0 U, 0.10 mM, 20 ng, and 0.8 µM, respectively. Fourteen of 53 primer combinations were chosen for their high clarity and repetition in three species, and their annealing temperatures ranged from 56 to 58°C. These primers and the optimized polymerase chain reaction system may provide a tool for understanding the demography and genetic variation of these endangered plants.
