gDNA was extracted from young leaves of plant materials using a modified cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) method (Han et al., 2018 (link)). Young leaf tissues were frozen in liquid nitrogen and finely ground using a 5 mm steel bead with a vortex mixer (DAIHAN Scientific, Wonju, Korea). The concentration and quality of extracted gDNA were measured with a Nanodrop spectrophotometer (BioTek, Winooski, VT, USA) and diluted to a final concentration of 20 ng/μL in triple distilled water (TDW).
