I'm using the gene specific primer for screening the plant DNA samples. At the specific annealing temp (55) a 500 bp amplicon is getting amplified but there are significant non-specific bands too. I tried using different annealing temp (50 to 60 degree Celsius), diluting the samples (1:10, 1:5), changing the MgCl2 concentration but in the result either I'm getting non-specific band in addition to specific one or not getting any amplification (not even specific band).
