Plant-ed compatriots,
I am a new subscriber to the group. Apologies if the following has
recently been asked, discussed, etc. Does anyone have a good protocol for
extracting DNA from any plant material which doesn't require centrifugation
OR phenol, chloroform or other nsty chemicals (EtBr O.K.). Situation:
University doesn't have a low speed centrifuge now. High speed not
available for teaching. Teachin "lab" has no fume hoods, etc. I am
teaching Plant Physiology to upper division students. They would like to
extract plant DNA. I am trying to figure out a way to let them achieve this
within the constraints of our equipment, etc. Any suggestions much appreciated.
Thank You,
