ROBUST CTAB-ACTIVATED CHARCOAL PROTOCOL FOR PLANT DNA EXTRACTION

Robust CTAB-activated charcoal protocol for plant DNA extraction

DNA extracted from plants rich in polyphenols and/or polysaccharides is often problematic when subjected to polymerase chain reaction, especially when mature tissues are used for DNA extraction.In order to overcome the problems associated with poor-quality DNA extracted from such plant samples, a click here protocol has been developed, availing on
