Modified Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bromide Method Improves DNA Quality and Quantity in Cotton: The Benchmark for Plant DNA Extraction

Ravichandran Mariappan, Subramanyam Koona

Abstract


A wide range of plant genomic DNA extraction or isolation methods are available; however, many of those are limited in their application for a diversified range of plant species. With special emphasis on robustness and versatility, we have improved the cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide method and isolated high-quality DNA from cotton leaf samples. The major modifications made to the protocol described here were a reduction of sample treatment steps and change in b-mercaptoethanol concentration (to 0.2%) resulting in a robust, rapid, and reproducible plant DNA extraction protocol that can be used for a broad range of plant species and tissue types.
