The CTAB method is a classic approach for DNA extraction from plant samples, suitable for various plant types. CTAB (hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide) is a cationic detergent that precipitates nucleic acids and acidic polysaccharides in low-ionic-strength solutions. In high-ionic-strength solutions (>0.7 M NaCl), CTAB forms complexes with proteins and polysaccharides without precipitating nucleic acids. After removal of proteins, polysaccharides, phenols, and other impurities through organic solvent extraction, nucleic acids are precipitated by adding alcohol (ethanol or isopropanol).
