Comparison of phenol-chloroform and CTAB assay for DNA extraction from polysaccharides-rich simarouba glauca DC applying modified CTAB method

Different methods available for extraction of plant genomic DNA suffers from one or more drawbacks including compromised quality, quantity and many more. The extraction of high-quality DNA Simarouba glauca DC is notoriously troublesome due to the high contents of polysaccharides and different secondary metabolites. Herein, we aimed to develop a modified CTAB extraction method to isolate DNA from tissues containing high levels of polysaccharides.
