Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is used in a wide array of researches in plant molecular genetics and breeding. However, considerable time and cost are still required for the preparation of DNA suitable for reliable PCR results, especially in plant species containing high amounts of polyphenols. To reduce time and effort for PCR-based analysis, a simplified but reliable method was developed by a combinational employment of a simple and fast DNA extraction procedure and BLOTTO (Bovine Lacto Transfer Technique Optimizer) in reaction mixture. Genomic DNAs prepared by one-step extraction method from recalcitrant plant species such as Rubus coreanus, apple, grape and lettuce were successfully amplified by random primers in the reaction mixture containing 2 to 4% BLOTTO. Successful amplification of ${gamma}$-TMT transgene in lettuce transformants by the specific primers was also achieved in the same condition, making rapid screening of positive transformants possible. Our results suggest that use of a simple DNA extraction procedure and incorporation of BLOTTO in reaction mixture in combination can reduce time and effort required for the analyses of a large number of germplasms and transformants by PCR-based techniques.
