A simple and reliable method for extracting DNA has been developed for orchid species and hybrids. The high quality of DNA obtained is suitable for amplification via the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for producing random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers.

Keywords: DNA extraction; PCR; RAPD markers
Subjects: DNA isolation from orchids; orchid hybrids; polymerase chain reaction, PCR; random amplified polymorphic DNA, RAPD markers
