A field-capable rapid plant DNA extraction protocol using microneedle patches for botanical surveying and monitoring. [PDF]
Appl Plant Sci, 2023 Abstract Premise A novel protocol for rapid plant DNA extraction using microneedles is proposed, which supports botanic surveys, taxonomy, and systematics. This protocol can be conducted in the field with limited laboratory skills and equipment. The protocol is validated by sequencing and comparing the results with QIAGEN spin‐column DNA extractions ...
