A simple and easy protocol for isolation of DNA from major plant pathogen Alternaria spp has been developed in which DNA extracted using CTAB extraction method from fresh mycelium of fungi crushed with sterile sand particles and liquid nitrogen. The DNA was precipitated first with equal volume of phenolchloroform-isoamylalcohol (25:24:1) and further with equal volume of chloroform-isoamylalcohol (24:1). Repeated centrifugation was done at 10000 g for 10 minutes at room temperature. | An easy method to isolate the high quality DNA from plant pathogen Alternaria spp
