Abstract

In this study, it is optimized by the methods of preparing samples for the release of genetic material (DNA) from soybean cyst-forming nematode Heterodera glycines , which is necessary for accurate identification. Various modifications of ready-made reagent kits from Russian and foreign manufacturers were tested: DNA-Extrane-2, FitoSorb, TsytoSorb, ORB-GMO-A by Sintol LLC (Russia), Proba-GS, Proba-NK by AgroDiagnostika LLC, and QIAamp DNA Mini Kit by Qiagen (Germany). By testing the PCR method «In real time», the sensitivity of Heterodera glycines total DNA release was tested using a test system consisting of forward and reverse primers and a modified probe: SCNrtF (5’-AAATTCCAGGCCGCTATCTC-3’), SCNrtR (5’CGTGGACTGAACTGAACTGGACAAAG-3’), SCNrtP (5’-FAM/-TGGGCTGGGTGCTTCTAGAACTTTT-/ BHQ-1/-3’).
