Abstract

High-quality DNA is necessary for molecular genetic studies. It is difficult to extract quality DNA from plant tissues, especially herbarium specimens, since they contain significant amounts of polysaccharides, phenols, and pigments that reduce the efficiency of PCR. An effective method for extracting genomic DNA from herbarium specimens is required. Nucleic acid purification methods can be classified into two general categories: liquid phase and columns containing sorbents.In this paper, wedescribed various methods for extracting DNA from herbarium specimens of Rhodiola rosea. The results showed low efficiency of methods based on the use of chaotropic salts such as guanidin tiotsionata, PVP and β-mercaptoethanol.The use of SDS-extraction buffer reduced the quantitative parameters of the DNA samples. For the extraction of DNA from herbarium material, the most effective protocol was based on acid cetyltrimethylammonium bromide buffer with hot chloroform. The buffer increased the yield of high-quality DNA because it prevented oxidative processes and the formation of DNA chemical components with pigments and polysaccharides. Use of this method resulted in 100% recovery of DNA from all the samples.
