Abstract:Extracting high-quality genomic DNA is one of the essential prerequisites for conducting molecular biology research. Due to the high content of polysaccharides and polyphenols in the leaves of A. chinensis var . wilsonii , the quality of DNA ex- traction is often low, which seriously affects subsequent molecular biology operations . This study used mature leaves of 600, 50, and 4-year-old A. chinensis var . wilsonii plants as materials to establish a suitable method for extracting DNA from A. chinensis var . wilsonii (M1) and compared it with three standard plant DNA extraction methods (M2—M4) . The results showed that the concentration range for M1extraction of DNA ranged from 207. 19to 488. 98ng ● μL—1 , the av- erage value was 308. 42ng ● μL—1 ; the purity A260/A280 ratio ranged from 1. 90to 1. 98, with an average value of 1. 93. The A260/A230 ratio ranged from 1. 72to 1. 95, with an average value of 1. 86;DNA electrophoresis bands were clear , with mod- erate brightness , and the sample holes were clean and pollution-free; IssR-PCR can amplify PCR products with clear bands , good stability and high polymorphism . The DNA extracted by M1is significantly superior to the other three meth- ods (M2—M4) in terms of concentration, purity, DNAbands , and IssR-PCR amplification products , making it suitable for the extraction of DNA from leaves of A. chinensis var . wilsonii.
