No flower induction and high #energysaving. Read the @PhilipsLight case study and learn how our #LEDlighting reduced FlorensisKenya ‘s #energyusage by 93% and prevented early flowering Philips Horticulture philips.to/2zM2MCJ

Super-fast, low-cost, low-tech prep of DNA or RNA from plants/animals/bugs in 30 seconds, using filter paper or paper towelling #PLOSBiology plos.io/2zbfNT0

In fact in postdoc I used an even simpler/faster method to genotype hundreds of transgenic Arabidopsis or mutant crosses. Grind a leaf in CTAB buffer, heat, spin, add no more than 0.5ul in a PCR mix. No purification, no cellulose disc and no washing. Very quick and very dirty :) x.com/PlantTeaching/…
