Due to the econemic and envaironmental limitiation in the use of peat moss as a growth medium of ornamental plants, researchers seek an apporiate alternative in flower and plants industry. Zeolite because of the high capacity of water holding and cations enchange, has an ability in the replacement  of peat moss. At this research, the posibility subtitution of peat moss by zeolite as a growth me...

This protocol describes a series of procedures for isolating nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) and proteins from moss (Physcomitrella patens) tissue. This series includes a rapid, small-scale procedure for isolating DNA, which results in genomic DNA that is only suitable for polymerase chain reaction (PCR), as well as a method for obtaining much larger amounts of genomic DNA suitable for Southern ana...
