Hi
"Nucleon Phyto Pure" from Amersham Bioscience
gives me allways very nice amounts and good DNA quality
Hi:
Qiagen products also work well for plant DNA purification.
Be sure you try to use softer leaves (younger) that will provide better yields.
Our lab used both (Amersham and Qiagen) as kits for Capsicum annuum DNA purifications, both worked well. Also CTAB protocol and Dellaporta et al work fine. Depends on your access to kits.
Good luck !
Qiagen works very well here.
Thanks a lot everyone
