From: Extraction of DNA from plant and fungus tissues in situ
Example of DNA degradation in T. aestivum caryopses. Lanes 1–3: DNA from fresh caryopses (imbibed for 24 hours). Lanes 4–6: DNA from caryopses left at 21°C for 48 hours (after 24 hours of imbibition). Two of the samples (1 and 4) were extracted using the laboratory microcentrifuge, while four of the samples (2, 3, 5 and 6) were extracted using the manually-operated microcentrifuge.
