Abstract :

An attempt has been made to develop new effective method for isolation and long term storage of genomic DNA from some latex rich medicinal plants. For isolation of genomic DNA, six medicinal plants like Jatropha curcas (Ratanjot), Justicia adhatoda L. (Adulsa, Malabar Nut), Hemidesmus indicus (Anantmool, Indian sarsaparilla), Cissus quadrangula L. (Hadjod, edible-stemmed vine), Tinospora cordifolia (Giloy), Commiphora wightii (Guggul) were selected, which are having ridiculous latex and secondary metabolites. The FTA plant saver card has a great potential for binding with nucleic acid. Latex and secondary metabolites of medicinal plants creates difficulties during DNA isolation using the FTA card. For proper cell lysis and removal of secondary metabolites, four different methods were used and the lysate was applied on FTA plant sever card. In the first method leaves were crushed with DNase/RNase free water, in second method leaves were crushed with phosphate buffer saline (PBS). In the third and fourth method poor quality DNA precipitated using modified CTAB method and DNAzol method was applied to the FTA plant saver card, respectively. Samples applied on FTA plant saver card after isolation by modified CTAB method showed good amplification with all studied medicinal plants. Keywords: Medicinal plants; DNA isolation; FTA plant sever card; DNAzol
