The Plant Genomics laboratory, born in 2005, is open to external institutions and enterprises. The laboratory of plant genomics carries out studies on plant DNA and reserve proteins in cereals. We offer different elecrophoresis techniques and DNA amplification for the application of molecular markers, biodiversity studies and quality control of plants and seeds.
The services that the plant genomics laboratory offers:
- Plant genomic DNA isolation
- PCR (SSRs, ESTs, CAPs,...)
- Horizontal electrophoresis (agarose gel)
- Vertical electrophoresis (polyacrylamide gel)
- DNA fragment analysis with ABI3130 and database construction with GeneMapper
- Determination of beta-glucan content in barley samples
- Determination of varietal purity
