    Journal: Zhongguo Zhong Yao Za Zhi; 1999 Apr; 24(4):205-7, 255. PubMed ID: 12205943.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To keep wild mountain ginseng, a rare medicinal remedy, as intact as possible when extracting DNA from it, a new way to extract DNA has been explored. METHOD: The CTAB method was improved and a simple and direct way was developed. RESULT: From 0.001 g of dried samples of ginseng root DNA was obtained in an amount up to 2.25 micrograms. CONCLUSION: The RAPD fingerprinting generated by this DNA is as good as that by CTAB method. This new method may also be used for extraction of other precious Chinese medicinal materials.
