DNA Fingerprinting of plants . History,procedure of DNA fingerprinting, PCR and NON PCR technique like RAPD,SSR,RELPs, application of DNA fingerprinting, advantage and disadvantage of DNA fingerprinting.
2. DNA FINGERPRINTING
• DNA fingerprinting was invented in 1984 by
Professor Sir Alec jeffreys after he realised you
could detect variations in human DNA in the form
of these minisatellites.
• It is a technique used especially for
identification(as for forensic purposes) by
extracting and identifying the base-pair pattern in
an individual’s DNA.
• Microsatellite :a set of short repeated DNA
sequences at a particular locus on a chromosome,
which vary in number in different individuals and
so can be used for genetic fingerprinting.
4. Procedure of DNA
fingerprinting in plants
Isolation of DNA from plant: Plant part like leaves ,
roots, stem by removal of cell wall, nuclear membrane,
around DNA and separation of DNA from cell debris,
proteins, lipids and RNA by common CTAB method.
Quality and quantity of isolated DNA was check is done
by Uv-Visible spectroscopy.
Denaturation of double strands at particular
temperature .
Annealing that includes the one primer binds with the
5’ end of one DNA strand and the other primer binds to
3’ end of its complementary strand.
5. • PCR based : RAPD(Random Amplification Polymorphic DNA)
ISSR(inter simple sequence repeat)
SSRs( Simple sequence repeats)
• Non PCR based: RELP
• PCR product were separated by electrophoresis in 1.5%(w/v) agarose gel
using buffer. Different bands are produced.

6. RAPD
(Random Amplification Polymorphic DNA)
• RAPD that is defined by differences between individuals in
term of DNA regions either being or not being amplified in
polymerase chain reaction primed by random oligonucleotide
sequences.
• It is a type of PCR reaction, but the segments of DNA that are
amplified are random.
• RAPD creates several arbitrary, short primers (8-12
nucleotide), then proceeds with the PCR using large template
of genomic DNA.
• Unlike traditional PCR analysis, RAPD does not require any
specific knowledge of DNA sequence of target organism: the
identical 10- primers will or will not amplify a segments of
DNA, depending on positions that are complementary to the
primer’s sequence.
7. RAPD involves following steps:
1. The DNA of a selected species is isolated.
2. An excess of selected decaoligonucleotide added.
3. Mixture is kept in PCR and subjected to repeated cycles of
DNA denaturation-renaturation-DNAreplication.
4. Decaoligonuclotide will pair with the homologous
sequence present at different locations in DNA.
5. DNA replication extend the decaoligonucleotide and copy
the sequence continuous with the sequence with which
the selected oligonucleotide has paired.
6. PCR cycles amplify the sequence of DNA.
7. Amplification of only those regions which are
complementary to decaoligonucleotide.
8. 8.After amplification the DNA is subjected to gel electrophoresis.
9. The amplified DNA will form a distinct band. It is detected by
ethidium bromide staining and visible fluorescence’s under U.V. light.
9. Advantage of RAPD
• Efficiency and low expense.
• It involves no radioactive assays.
• Provide quick and efficient screening for DNA
sequence based polymorphism at many loci.

11. Limitations of RAPD
• Nearly all RAPD markers are dominant, i.e. it is not possible to
distinguish whether a DNA segments is amplified from a locus
that is heterozygous(1 copy) or homozygous(2copy).
• Mismatch b/w the primer and the template may result in total
absence in PCR product as well as in a merely decrease
amount of the product. Thus RAPD effect difficult to interpret.
• PCR is a enzymatic reactions, therefore the quality and
concentration of template DNA, concentration of PCR
component, and the PCR cycling conditions may greatly
influence the outcomes.
12. Application of DNA
fingerprinting
• Individuality : like skin finger printing , DNA finger printing can
help to distinguish one human being from another with
exception of monozygotic twins.
• Paternity/maternity Disputes : DNA fingerprinting can identify
the real genetic mother, father and the offspring.
• Human Lineage: DNA from various probables is being studied
to find out human lineage.
• Hereditary Diseases : the technique is being used to identify
genes connected with hereditary diseases.
• Forensics: detection of crime and legal pursuits.
• Sociology: identify racial grips, their origin, historical migration
and invasions.
13. Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantage:
DNA profiling is an ideal method for
confirming an identity with absolute certainty.
It’s easy and painless to obtain a specimen for
testing.
A thorough scientific test can be conducted in
as little as 48hr
DNA testing is affordable and reliable.
14. Disadvantage : A DNA test should be run
multiple samples, at least twice. For diagnosis
collect four samples and the lab runs every test
twice to avoid false readings.
