Bryophyte DNA - Bryophytes represent the initial group of plants to emerge, with approximately 20,000 species currently recognized worldwide and 900 species endemic to Republic of Korea. These plants have been utilized in urban greening initiatives within Japan and select European nations, owing to their capacity to absorb air pollutants and purify the atmosphere. Additionally, they are being regarded as potential pioneers in the realm of plant cultivation on Mars, a consideration that stems from their remarkable resilience to extreme conditions and radiation. Consequently, bryophytes are anticipated to possess substantial value as a biological resource in the future. The identification of undocumented species and the undertaking of taxonomic research are ongoing endeavors. In order to utilize bryophytes for genetic classification and various studies, it is imperative to extract high-quality nucleic acids.
The AllEx® Plant DNA/RNA Kit was developed to facilitate the extraction of total nucleic acids from a variety of plant samples. This kit is optimized for the AllEx ® 64 Automated Nucleic Acid Extraction System. The technology is predicated on the use of magnetic beads for the extraction of nucleic acids, a process that is rapid and efficient.
In this application note, we describe the extraction of nucleic acids from male and female individuals of Polytrichum commune and Marchantia polymorpha, representative species of Bryophyte, using the AllEx ® Plant DNA/RNA Kit, which is specialized for a variety of plant samples.
