| Summary: | Neolamarckia cadamba (Roxb.) Bosser or Kelampayan is well-known for its contribution in economic sector
whereby the tree is used as raw materials in plywood, paper and pulp industries and light construction. The
enhanced disease resistance 1 (EDR1) gene controls the invasion of pathogens into the living plant, and it
also serves as the negative regulator of disease resistance, ethylene-induced senescence and programmed cell
death. As conventional plant breeding is costly and time-consuming, new technique such as single nucleotide
polymorphism (SNP) is applied as a marker for plant breeding selection. The main objective in this study was
to detect the sequence variation caused by SNP in edr1. DNA extracted from five selected Kelampayan trees
were firstly subjected to polymerase chain reaction. The purified amplicons with ~550 bp were sent for DNA
sequencing. However, the attempt to blast the sequenced data was failed and no significant results were
found due to the weak and noise sequence data. The main reason that led to the failure was due to the
contamination of purified PCR product. Gel extraction should be done in a careful manner to avoid
contamination. |
