This method for instant DNA extraction from fresh corn leaf based on a simple DNA extraction with CTAB modified from Doyle and Doyle (1987) in small scale. After extraction steps, the extracted DNA was checked the quality and quantity by using a spectrophotometer to measure the absorbance at A260/A280. The result showed the feasibility of this method which was confirmed by using PCR method. The PCR product showed an expected band. Without the addition of the phenol or 2-beta-mercaptoethanol, this method could properly use in routine laboratory where DNA is used for PCR detection. In addition, this method requires less plant tissue to extract that is useful for other plant experiments. |
