DNA extraction from plant samples is very important for a good performance of diagnostic molecular assays in phytopathology. The variety of matrices (such as leaves, roots, and twigs) requires a differentiated approach to DNA extraction. Here we describe three categories of matrices: (a) symptomatic bark/wood tissue; (b) residues of frass resulting from insect woody trophic activities, portions of the galleries produced in the wood, and tissues surrounding exit holes; and (c) leaves of different plant species. To improve the performances of diagnostic assays, we here describe DNA extraction procedures that have been optimized for each matrix type.

Abstract
DNA extraction from plant samples is very important for a good performance of diagnostic molecular assays in phytopathology. The variety of matrices (such as leaves, roots, and twigs) requires a differentiated approach to DNA extraction. Here we describe three categories of matrices: (a) symptomatic bark/wood tissue; (b) residues of frass resulting from insect woody trophic activities, portions of the galleries produced in the wood, and tissues surrounding exit holes; and (c) leaves of different plant species. To improve the performances of diagnostic assays, we here describe DNA extraction procedures that have been optimized for each matrix type.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
