- Abstract
The application of high-throughput SNP genotyping is a great challenge for many research projects in the plant genetics domain. The GOOD assay for mass spectrometry, Amplifluor® and TaqMan® are three methods that rely on different principles for allele discrimination and detection, specifically, primer extension, allele-specific PCR and hybridization, respectively. First, with the goal of assessing allele frequencies by means of SNP genotyping, we compared these methods on a set of three SNPs present in the herbicide resistance genes CSR, AXR1 and IXR1 of Arabidopsis thaliana. In this comparison, we obtained the best results with TaqMan® based on PCR specificity, flexibility in primer design and success rate. We also used mass spectrometry for genotyping polyploid species. Finally, a combination of the three methods was used for medium- to high-throughput genotyping in a number of different plant species. Here, we show that all three genotyping technologies are successful in discriminating alleles in various plant species and discuss the factors that must be considered in assessing which method to use for a given application.
