Methods of genetic purity testingMethods of genetic purity testing
Genetic purity ?
Genotypic purity is simply defined as true to type plants / seeds conforming to the characteristics of the variety as described by the breeders.
Principle Genetic purity or genuiness of the
cultivar is tested by means of heritable characters (morphological, physiological or chemical) of seeds, seedlings or plants.
Minimum standards for genetic purity for different class of seeds.
SL. No. CLASS OF SEEDS PURITY %
1 Breeder Seeds 100%
2 Foundation seeds 99%
3 Certified seeds 98%
4 Hybrids 95%
(Basra, 2002)
Factors affecting genetic purity.
1. Natural crossing2. Mechanical admixtures3. Random drift4. Mutation5. Selective influence of pest and diseases.

Criteria for GOT to decide the genuineness of variety
(Basra, 2002)
The are two main approaches for genetic or varietal purity testing:-
1.The use of computerized systems to capture and process morphological information
(Machine vision).
2. The use of biochemical methods to analyze various components of seeds (Chemotaxonomy).
(Basra, 2002)
Methods to assess genetic purity
1.Morphological / Conventional grow out test
2.Chemical test
3.Electrophoresis method
Biochemical markers (Proteins and Isozymes)
Molecular markers (DNA)
(Basra, 2002)
Morphological test
In laboratory•Examination features of seeds such as length, width, thickness, shape, weight, colour, seed coat colour etc. and comparing them with those of authentic sample.
•Which are examined with naked eye / with magnified hand lens / with the help of scanning electron microscope
(Basra, 2002)
In field or green house conditionIn field or green house condition
• Grow out test
• The seed sample is sown in the controlled condition with the authentic sample
• Genetic purity is determined on the basis of observation made on the plant morphological characters with reference to authentic sample.
• Genetic purity is always expressed in percentage
(Basra, 2002)
• 1000 g – for maize, cotton, groundnut, soybean and species of other genera with seeds of similar size.
• 500 g – for sorghum wheat, paddy and species of other genera with seeds of similar size.
• 250 g – Beta sp and species of other genera with seeds of similar size.
• 100 g – for bajra, jute and species of all other genera.
• 250 tubers/ planting – seed potato, sweet potato and other vegetatively propagating crops.
Stakes/roots/corns.
The size of the submitted sample will be as follows: for GOT
(Basra, 2002)
Raising of desired population by following recommended cultural practices e.g., field preparation, size of the plot, etc.
Provide equal opportunity to each and every plant for full expression of genetically controlled characters
Sow the various samples of the same variety / cultivar in succession and standard sample at suitable intervals
Adjust of seed rate depending on germination % of individual samples and subsequent thinning is not recommended.
A minimum of 200 plants from control samples should be raised along with the test crop.
This test is preferably conducted in area to which the variety is recommended
The analyst employed for conducting ‘grow out test’ should possess the basic qualification as identified under Seed Rules, 1968.

Methods of testing based on-
1.Analysis of secondary compounds
2.Protein analysis
3.Nucleic acid analysis
CHEMOTAXONOMYChemo taxonomists have recognized two groups of
compounds that are generally use full in classification of plant species
1. Episemantic or secondary metabolites(pigments or fatty acid etc.)
2. Semantides or sense carrying molecules (Proteins, Nucleic Acids)
These test ranges from simple colour tests to complex chromatographic separations of phenols, anthocyanin, flavonoids and other compounds.
Different tests includes1.Phenol test2.Peroxidase test3.Potassium hydroxide – bleach test4.Fluorescence test5.Hydrochloric HCI test6.Ferrous sulphate test7.NaOH test8.Anthocyanin test9.Seedling pigmentation
Analysis of secondary compounds
(Basra, 2002)

Because proteins are the direct gene product the analysis of seed, seedling proteins and enzymes is most successful and widely used. Hence much attention has been focused on seed storage proteins.
There are two primary methods
Various types of gel electrophoresis
High pressure liquid chromatography
Protein analysis
What is Electrophoresis ……..?
Migration of a charged particle through a medium (agarose,
polyacrylamide, starch) under the influence of an electrical field. it
is usually carried out in aqueous solution
•A mixture of molecules of various sizes will migrate at different velocities and will be separated.The varieties are verified on the basis of
banding pattern.
1. By measuring Rm of bands
2. Total number of bands
3. Presence or absence of specific band
4. Intensity of band
Gel Electrophoresis-based on type of separationNative: separation by size and charge (charge/mass)Denaturing: separation by sizeOthers (IEF, 2-Dimenstional electrophoresis)
Gel Electrophoresis
Native continuous system--gel and tank buffers are the same, single phase gel; examples are PAGE, agarose, and starch gels.
Discontinuous System--gel and tank buffers are different, two phase gel (stacking gel); example is PAGE.
Gel Electrophoresis based on denaturationSDS (sodium dodecyl sulphate) used to denature proteins (discontinuous system). urea or form amide used to denature DNA or RNA.
Other types areIsoelectric focusing: protein-separation based on isoelectric points in a pH gradient.2-D electrophoresis: combination of IEF and SDS-PAGE.
Materials and method1.It consists of 8 varieties viz., CSV 15, SPV 669, PVK 400, PVK 801, BTX623, IS 18551, R16 and E36-1.

Materials and Methods Plant Material: Fresh mature seeds of selected species of Bauhinia . Protein Extraction: by method given by Jensen and Lixue .
overnight presoaked seeds in protein solubilization solution (62 m M Tris –HCl, pH 6.8, 10% glycerol, 2% SDS, β- mercaptoethanol and traces of bromophenol blue ) then centrifuged at 14000 rpm for 30 seconds. The supernatent was collected placed into a boiling water bath for 4 minutes.
SDS-PAGE was done by method suggested by Laemmli. It was performed on a vertical slab gel. Bromophenol blue was added to the supernatant as tracking dye to watch the movement of protein in the gel. Seed protein was analyzed through slab type SDS-PAGE using 10% Separating gel and 4% Stacking gel.

Iso electric focusingThis technique relies not on the rates of mobility but on the
protein’s net charge. Isozymes move through a pH gradient under the influence of an electric field.
As the enzymes move through acidic regions of the gel and enters into areas of higher alkalinity the net charge on the protein changes, eventually, it reaches a pH region where the net charge equals zero. At this point the protein will not migrate any further and is said to be “focused”.
IEF can be used to differentiate proteins with very subtle changes in amino acid composition.
Proteins migrating through a pH gradient will continue to move until their net charge becomes zero.
(Leist, 2005)
Carrier ampholytes are in the gel matrix that are low molecular weight and have closely related isoelectric points When electricity is applied to the gel the ampholytes forms a pH gradient in the gel.
When an amphoteric protein from a sample is no longer charged the electrical current will not have an effect on it. Thus, the term “FOCUSING”.

Advantages of genetic purity
1. It is helpful in plant variety protection, registration, certification and patents
2. to detect the even the minute genetic differences between cultivars visa-a-versa for existence of novelty among essentially derived varieties
3. Assurance of genetic purity for ensuring better agronomic performance and predicted expectations
4. Prevention of misappropriation and willful admixture of seed/ cultivars at commercial or farmers level
Let me conclude now…
Genetic purity analysis is THE IMPORTANT FACTOR for quality seed
For farmer – No loss because of poor seeds + Higher returns
For producer – Market grip
Technologies in hand – use for the benefit of humankind
