DNA extraction from plants & other living sources is usually a multistep, cumbersome, time consuming and costlier process with high health risk involved due to indiscriminate use of various toxic chemicals like beta-mercaptoethanol. However, the current invention is unique, versatile, cheap, sensitive, eco-friendly and economically viable method for efficient & quick DNA extraction (15-20 minutes assay time) from complex pigment rich plant tissues as well as tissues/cells from other organisms. The invention is proposing to clean-up pigment rich tissues using novel dipping/clearing consortium solution (5-7 minutes) followed by use of [xxxxx] and [xxxxx] solution (8-10 minutes) and final precipitation step for high quality DNA (2-3 minutes) using [xxxxxxx]. The proposed kit has a great potential to cater global market both in academia (Schools, Colleges & Universities) & various research programmes because of its uniqueness, easy to use, low cost, high accuracy, technical feasibility, rapidity & economic viability.
