Short Description of Librarv:
The mRNA was isolated from ‘Delsoy 5710’ seedling roots. Tissue was taken
from 7-day-old seedlings that had been propagated on paper towels with distilled water.
Tissue was taken from the tip to the first lateral root, usually about 3 cm from the tip, and
flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen.
Stratagene’s cDNA Synthesis Kit (catalog number 200401) was used to
synthesize the cDNA. First-strand synthesis was performed with 5-methyl dCTP, hence
the ligated cDNA was hemimethylated. A modification of Stratagene’s first-strand
synthesis primer was used. An “anchor” nucleotide (V=A, C, or G) was added to the 3’
end of the primer [GAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAACTAGTCTCGAG(T)18V] to
anchor the primer at the 5’ end of the poly(A) tract. After second-strand synthesis, the
cDNA ends were filled in with cloned Pfu DNA, ligated to EcoRI adapters and
subsequently phosphorylated. The cDNA was then precipitated and redissolved in sterile,
RNase-, DNase-free water. The XhoI site within the first-strand synthesis primer was then
restricted by digestion with XhoI from Promega (40U/ul); all XhoI sites in the cDNA
would be protected by their hemimethylated status. The cDNA constructs were sizefractionated with a 500 bp cutoff, using GibcoBRL Life Technologies’ cDNA Size
Fractionation column. The column eluent was then precipitated, redissolved, and ligated
into Stratagene’s pBluescript II XR Predigested vector (pBluescript II SK(+) vector that
has been digested with EcoRI and XhoI, and phosphorylated by Stratagene). 100% of the
white and blue colonies appear to contain recombinant plasmids with cDNA inserts,
based on size (n=24 and 6, respectively)
