METHOD TO SCREEN FOR A MUTANT WITHIN A POPULATION OF ORGANISMS BY APPLYING A POOLING AND SPLITTING APPROACH

Applicants: Carlsberg A/S

Abstract: In traditional plant breeding approaches, chemical mutagenesis may be utilized to introduce nucleotide substitutions at random in the genome of a plant, i.e. without possibilities to control the sites of nucleotide changes. Because of genome complexities, the statistical probability is extremely little when it comes to finding a predetermined nucleotide substitution. The present invention, however, demonstrates how a novel, alternative use of digital polymerase chain reaction (dPCR), preferably droplet dPCR (ddPCR), is developed to exploit finding of specific nucleotide substitutions in mutated genes. The entire platform comprises a screening method with a library of mutagenized organisms, digital PCR—based systems and a set-up to propagate and analyze identified, mutated organisms.

Independent Claims:

1. A method of identifying a sub-pool of unicellular organisms of a predefined species, wherein the sub-pool comprises an organism of a predefined species carrying one or more predetermined mutation(s) in nucleotide(s) of interest [NOI(s)], in a target sequence, said method comprising the steps of: a) Providing a pool of unicellular organisms of said species, representing a plurality of genotypes; b) Dividing said pool into one or more sub-pools of organisms, and subjecting each sub-pool to a step of reproduction, so that each sub-pool comprises more than one individual organism of each genotype; c) Randomly dividing each sub-pool into parts in a manner such that each part in theory comprises organisms representing each genotype of the sub-pool; d) Preparing genomic DNA (gDNA) samples from one of said parts of each sub-pool, while storing another part of each sub-pool under conditions maintaining the potential for multiplication of organisms of each genotype within said sub-pool; e) Performing a plurality of PCR amplifications, each comprising the gDNA sample from one sub-pool, wherein each PCR amplification is a digital PCR comprising a plurality of compartmentalised PCR amplifications, each compartmentalised PCR amplification comprising part of said gDNA sample, one or more set(s) of primers each set flanking a target sequence and PCR reagents, thereby amplifying the target sequence(s); f) Detecting PCR amplification product(s) comprising one or more target sequence(s) comprising the mutation(s), in the NOI(s), thereby identifying sub-pool(s) comprising said mutation(s).

19. A method of identifying a unicellular organism of a predefined species carrying one or more predetermined mutation(s) in nucleotide(s) of interest [NOI(s)], in a target sequence, said method comprising the steps of: a) Providing a pool of unicellular organisms of said species representing a plurality of genotypes; b) Dividing said pool into one or more sub-pools of organisms, and subjecting each sub-pool to a step of reproduction, so that each sub-pool comprises more than one individual organism of each genotype; and c) randomly dividing each sub-pool into parts in a manner such that each part in theory comprises organisms representing each genotype of the sub-pool; d) Preparing genomic DNA (gDNA) samples from one of said parts of each sub-pool, while storing another part of each sub-pool under conditions maintaining the potential for multiplication of organisms of each genotype within said sub-pool; e) Performing a plurality of PCR amplifications, each comprising the gDNA sample from one sub-pool, wherein each PCR amplification is a digital PCR comprising a plurality of compartmentalised PCR amplifications, each compartmentalised PCR amplification comprising part of said gDNA sample, one or more set(s) of primers each set flanking a target sequence and PCR reagents, thereby amplifying the target sequence(s); f) Detecting PCR amplification product(s) comprising one or more target sequence(s) comprising the mutation(s) in the NOI(s), thereby identifying sub-pool(s) comprising said mutation(s). g) Dividing the organisms of said identified sub-pool into secondary sub-pools; h) Preparing gDNA samples, each comprising gDNA from each genotype within a secondary sub-pool, while maintaining the potential for multiplication of organisms of each genotype within said secondary sub-pool; i) Performing a plurality of PCR amplifications, each comprising the gDNA sample from one secondary sub-pool, one or more set(s) of primers each set flanking a target sequence and PCR reagents, thereby amplifying the target sequence(s); j) Detecting PCR amplification products comprising one or more target sequence(s) comprising the predetermined mutation(s) in the NOI(s), thereby identifying secondary sub-pools under step j) comprising said mutation(s). k) Identifying an organism within said secondary sub-pool carrying said mutation(s).

QUILLAJA saponaria PLANT NAMED 'DK-QSCB1348'

*Notice of Allowance Mailed*

Applicants: Desert King Chile S.A.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Quillaja saponaria Molina plant named ‘DK-QSCB1348’. The new variety reliably provides plants producing triterpenic saponins whose fractional content of X-series saponins is higher than 50% on total saponin basis. Plants were obtained by clonal micro-propagation of individuals selected from a population of Quillaja trees grown in an ultra-high density plantation (app. >20,000 trees/hectare). Clone plants have high vigor after 1-year of growth, producing a large number of lateral branches at the middle and upper third of the stem. Leaves are from oval to elliptical and slightly elongated in shape, uniform in size and the leaf blade is plane; the margin of leaves is entire with some indentations, and the leaf apex is retuse. The resistance or susceptibility to diseases have not been assessed in this new variety.

Independent Claims:
