Different protocols are usually used for extracting total deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from different plant species of same order and DNA of the associated viruses. Here, we describe a rapid, efficient and universal protocol for isolating total DNA from the members of Zingiberales which harbor a high amount of polysaccharides and secondary metabolites. DNA isolated with this protocol was successfully used for PCR based downstream applications viz. random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), Inter-simple sequence repeats (ISSR), DNA barcoding gene (Internal transcribed spacer and trnl-f) amplification and detection of the viruses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
