This invention provides a method for detecting
telomerase activity in plants of the
genus *Catella*, belonging to the field of
plant telomerase detection technology. Specifically, it includes the following steps:
telomerase solution samples are added to a premixed solution, and DEPC-
treated water is added to make up the volume. This premixed solution includes TRAP buffer, dNTP mixture, leader primer,
reverse primer, and
Taq polymerase. PCR amplification is then performed, with the following amplification program: PCR extension at 26 °C for 30 min; pre-denaturation at 95 °C for 2 min; 30 cycles of 94 °C for 30 s, 58 °C for 30 s, and 72 °C for 60 s; 72 °C for 10 min; and storage at 4 °C. After amplification, the PCR amplification products are subjected to
agarose gel electrophoresis, stained with
SYBR Green I staining solution, and observed under a gel imaging
system. This invention proposes a method for detecting telomerase activity in plants of the
genus *Catella*, applicable to various plants in the
genus, and the testing process is safe and reliable.
