An improved Shorea robusta genomic DNA extraction protocol with high PCR fidelity.

ABSTRACT: Shorea robusta (Dipterocarpaceae), commonly known as Sal, is an economically and culturally important timber species, known to contain a wide spectrum of polyphenols, polysaccharides, and other secondary metabolites in the tissues, which can interfere with the extraction of high-quality genomic DNA. In order to screen simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and carry out other DNA-based analyses for this species in our laboratory, a high-throughput DNA extraction methodology was needed. Hence, we have optimized a simple, rapid, safe, and reliable high-throughput protocol for DNA extraction suitable for both fresh and dry leaves. The standardized protocol delivered good DNA yield of ∼1500 µg from 1 g of leaf tissue, with purity indicated by a 260 nm/280 nm absorbance ratio ranging from
