2. Section 2 –DNAGel Blot Analysis

Gel blot analysis was performed using standard protocols as described earlier (Sambrook et al., 2000). Briefly, 10 g of total DNA was digested with BglII restriction enzyme. DNA was electrophoresed on a 0.8% agarose gel. Prior to transfer to a membrane, the gel was depurinated, denautured and neutralized with prescribed solutions. DNA was transferred to Nylon membrane and crosslinked using a UV crosslinker (Stratagene Inc.). DNA was prehybridized and hybridized with a PpMLO1 gene probe as described previously (Dhingra et al., 2004). Hybridized blot was washed and processed for autoradiography. Expected fragments of 2.35 kb in Fa-pDAJ3 and 2.86 kb in Fa-pDAJ4 along with different sized higher fragments confirmed that these transgenics represented different transgenic events.

3. Section 3 - Agrobacterium contamination test

During Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, there is a possibility of bacterial contamination in the regenerated plants. The PCR results detailed above could be due to the presence of plasmid DNA within the contaminating bacteria. To eliminate the possibility of bacterial contamination, we used PCR with virB1 gene specific primers DAJP 11 and DAJP12 (Table 1). As shown in Supplementary Figure 2, positive amplification of a 300 bp region nested in the virB1 gene is only observed in the AGL0 host bacterial strain which was used at a very high dilution for PCR. Absence of the amplicon in samples labeled as Fa-pDAJ3.1-3.3 and Fa-pDAJ4.1-4.3 indicates the absence of Agrobacterium contamination in transgenic lines.

Supplementary Figure 2

Figure 2 – Assessment of Agrobacterium contamination

Primers annealing to virB1, DAJP11 and DAJP12 were used to test for presence of Agrobacterium. An amplicon of 300 bp was obtained when AGL0 strain was used as a template. The amplicon is missing in Fa-pDAJ 3.1-3.3 and Fa-pDAJ4.1-4.3 lines. Lane marked as M represents DNA ladder.

4. Section 4 - Alignment of DAJP13 and DAJP14 to MLO homologs in Fragaria vesca

Table shows the location and percentage identity of primers with MLO homologs predicted in Fragaria vesca. DAJP13 and DAJP14 are predicted to generate a 953 bp amplicon in Fragaria vescawith cDNA as a template. Note the complementarity at the GC-rich 3’ end of the primers.
