Description Numerous methods are available for isolation of plant genomic DNA, but in
practice these procedures are empirical due to variability in plant tissue composition. Consistent
isolation of quality DNA from peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is particularly problematic
due to the presence of phenolic compounds and polysaccharides. Inconsistencies
in extraction results can be attributed to the age and growth stage of the plant material analyzed.
Mature leaves have higher quantities of polyphenols, tannins, and polysaccharides
that can contaminate DNA during isolation. We show that four published protocols could
not be used to isolate peanut DNA of sufficient quality for PCR amplification or Southern
hybridization. We have devised a new protocol that uses DEAE-cellulose purification to
isolate peanut DNA useful for downstream applications.
