Embodiment 1

[0087] Example 1: Isolation and quantification of total genomic DNA and PCR primer amplification. Genomic DNA from Cry1F homozygous, hemizygous and wild-type samples was isolated from individual samples by punching 8 leaf discs per sample and grinding the discs to a fine powder using a Genogrinder 2000. use custom DNA was extracted using the gDNA Plant Kit (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) or Qiagen DNeasy 96-well kit (Valencia, CA). Before PCR, use Quant-iT TM DNA samples were quantified using a quantification kit (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) using the manufacturer's instructions.

[0088] Oligonucleotide primers and dual-labeled TaqMan probe with FAM and Black Hole Quencher 1 (BHQ1) were synthesized by MWG Biotech (High Point, NC) (Table 1b).

Embodiment 2

[0109] Example 2: PCR efficiency test of maize endogenous genes. One aspect of developing an endpoint TaqMan zygosity assay is the selection of the most appropriate endogenous gene as a reference gene. We selected species-specific invertases with low copy numbers in the genome, ie a suitable reference gene. Four maize endogenous genes were initially investigated among thousands of possibilities, namely alcohol dehydrogenase 1 (adh1), hypermobility group a (hmga), invertase (ivr), and zein (zein) As a possible reference gene for maize Cry1F in event TC1507.

[0110] The process of selecting an appropriate reference gene involved first combining 30 ng of extracted Cry1F homozygous, hemizygous and wild-type maize genomic DNA controls (extracted according to the isolation protocol described in this example) to assess the PCR efficiency of all primers. PCRs for TC1507 and the 5 initially selected reference genes (ivr, ivr104, adh, hmg, zein) were set up according to Table 2c. T...

Embodiment 3

[0118] Example 3: Testing of an endpoint TaqMan assay for zygosity genotyping. Multiplexing of one reference gene (ivr, ivr104, hmg or zein) with TC1507 was tested using endpoint TaqMan PCR (Table 3) using a Cry1F single stack population with segregating TC1507 (Q:07K:PF04DS_ZYGO) . DNA was normalized to 10 ng / μl prior to endpoint TaqMand PCR. TaqMan PCR reactions were terminated at 28 cycles and then measured with a spectrofluorometer. Calculated above background (H 2 O) of FAM (TC1507) (as signal above background 1 (SOB1)), and the fluorescent signal of Cy5 (reference gene) 2 (SOB2) above background. Plot the SOB1 / SOB2 ratio as a scatter plot in Excel. In segregating populations, three clusters of data points should be obtained, allowing for visual determination of cut-off points. It was found that Ivr104 multiplexed with TC1507 only under the reaction conditions disclosed herein can produce unambiguous genotype calls. Other initially selected reference gene responses...

Abstract

A method for zygosity analysis of the maize Cry 1F event TC 1507 is provided. The method provides TC1507 event-specific and maize endogenous reference gene-specific primers and TaqMan probe combinations for use in an endpoint biplex TaqMan PCR assay capable of producing robust genotype calls for assisting in molecular breeding of TC1507.

Description

Background of the Invention [0001] I is a commercial corn product that is resistant to insect damage, particularly of the European corn borer, and contains Cry1F event TC1507. The event itself is disclosed, for example, in US Pat. Nos. 7,605,310 and 7,449,564. [0002] Various methods can be used to detect the presence of this event in corn samples. An example is the pyrosequencing technique, as described by Winge (Innov. Pharma. Tech. 00:18-24, 2000). In this method, overlapping oligonucleotides are designed to ligate to adjacent genomic DNA and insert DNA. Oligonucleotides were hybridized to the single-stranded PCR product from the region of interest (one primer in the insert and one in the flanking genomic sequence) and mixed in the presence of DNA polymerase, ATP, sulfurylase, luciferin Enzymes, apyrase, adenosine 5' phosphate sulfate and luciferin were incubated. DNTPs are added individually, and incorporation results in a measured optical signal. A light signal in...
