| Abstract/Contents: | "The technology involved in the breeding, production and marketing of plant products is expanding at a remarkable rate due to biotechnology and automation. The New Jersey Department of Agriculture (NJDA) must be able to keep pace with the expansion as it addresses its goals of protecting food crops, forests and other plant resources against injurious plant pests, and to safeguard the farmer and the public against contaminated or mislabeled seed or other plant products through inspection and certification programs. The NJDA/Division of Plant Industry laboratory must be able to identify and regulate varietal differences in plants and plant pests. This can be done most efficiently through the use of more advanced laboratory technologies, including DNA and protein analysis, gas and liquid chromatography, and electrophoresis. The advanced testing technology will ensure quick and accurate laboratory analysis of plants and plant pests that will enable regulators and producers to make quick and accurate decisions regarding plant production practices or regulatory enforcement actions. Varietal identification is an area where biochemical "fingerprinting" is applicable. The following technologies are either in use in the laboratory or are about to be implemented. There are a series of "quick" chemical tests which are useful for varietal identification to a limited degree. The phenol test for Kentucky bluegrass is an example of a quick test where the varieties can be broken down into subgroups based on the color changes of the caryopsis upon exposure to phenol. More sophisticated testing involves protein and DNA analysis. Liquid chromatography of alcohol soluble seed proteins is being explored as a means of automating varietal identifications. Biochemical methods are also useful in endophyte testing. DNA analysis is useful for identification of endophyte strains. Liquid chromatography and thin layer chromatography are an important means of identifying endophyte alkaloids. Immunological techniques are useful to determine the presence of endophyte in plant tissue. The New Jersey Plant Industry Laboratory is very interested in applying the basic research developed in the area of biotechnology at Rutgers and other universities to its regulatory and service programs." |
