We report here that radicle tips, but not other parts of cotton seedlings, yield high-quality DNA that is readily amenable for PCR. The radicle-tip-excised seedlings retain viability because of the formation of adventitious roots. We demonstrate the utility of this method in distinguishing homozygotes from heterozygotes in a cotton breeding population and in hybrid seed purity testing date: 2013 date_type: published publication: Journal of Biosciences volume: 38 number: 1 publisher: Springer pagerange: 167-172 refereed: TRUE issn: 0250-5991 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s12038-012-9285-4 related_url_url: http://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?as_q=Excised+radicle+tips+as+a+source+of+genomic+DNA+for+PCR-based+genotyping+and+melting+curve+analysis+in+cotton&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_occt=title&as_sauthors=&as_publication=&as_ylo=&as_yhi=&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C related_url_type: pub funders: Government of India - Department of Biotechnology citation: Srinivasa Rao, P and Kumar, P S and Sonti, R V (2013) Excised radicle tips as a source of genomic DNA for PCR-based genotyping and melting curve analysis in cotton.
