Isolation of better quality DNA from endangered Indian medicinal plants such as Rauvolfia serpentina (Sarpagandha), Rhaphidophora decursiva (Atukulatiga), Piper longum (Pippali, Pippallu), Entada pursaetha (Gilateega), and Zanthoxylum Rhesta (Rhesta manu) is very much needed to further genomic study, because these are having rich source of secondary metabolites like cellulose, polyphenolic compounds, tannins, and other metabolites. The presence of certain metabolites can hamper the DNA isolation. In this study we are describing the finest method for isolation of superior quality DNA from selected medicinal plant materials by changing the composition of extraction buffer.
