Consistent isolation of quality DNA from peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is particularly problematic due to the presence of phenolic compounds and polysaccharides. Inconsistencies in extraction results can be attributed to the age and growth stage of the plant material analyzed. Mature leaves have higher quantities of polyphenols, tannins, and polysaccharides that can contaminate DNA during isolation. We show that four published protocols could not be used to isolate peanut DNA of sufficient quality for PCR amplification or Southern hybridization. We have devised a new protocol that uses DEAE-cellulose purification to isolate peanut DNA useful for downstream applications. date: 2000 date_type: published publication: Plant Molecular Biology Reporter volume: 18 number: 4 publisher: Springer pagerange: 393a-393h refereed: TRUE issn: 1572-9818 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/BF02825068 related_url_url: http://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?as_q=A+Method+for+Isolation+and+Purification+of+Peanut+Genomic+DNA+Suitable+for+Analytical+Applications&num=10&btnG=Search+Scholar&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_occt=title&as_sauthors=&as_publication=&as_ylo=&as_yhi=&as_sdt= related_url_type: author funders: OPEC funders: Asian Development Bank citation: Sharma, K K and Lavanya, M and Anjaiah, V (2000) A Method for Isolation and Purification of Peanut Genomic DNA Suitable for Analytical Applications.
