Table 1 Abbreviated procedures for the three proposed lysis and DNA extraction methods discussed in this study

From: Simple and efficient isolation of plant genomic DNA using magnetic ionic liquids

Static extraction method

Pipette 6 µL of MIL or IL onto 40 mg of plant tissue

Allow the coated plant tissue to incubate

Collect the hydrophobic liquid using a pipette

Add 0.3 µL of either the DNA-enriched MIL or IL to the qPCR buffer

Dispersive extraction method

Suspend 40 mg of cut-up plant tissue in a Tris-based buffer

Add 6 µL MIL to the sample

Disperse the sample using a vortex

Recover the MIL with a magnet

Pipette 0.3 µL MIL into the qPCR buffer

One-pot PCR method

Grind plant tissue to a powder

Add 1 mg plant tissue, 6 µL of MIL or IL, and the qPCR buffer to a reaction tube
