Extracted DNA samples were controlled by agarose gel electrophoresis and spectrophotometric measurement. The DNA samples were used as a template for 18SrRNA and chloroplast trnL–trnF intergenic spacer region amplifications to evaluate the PCR efficiency of DNA samples. Results showed that SIGMA GenEluteTM Plant Genomic DNA Miniprep Kit and QIAGEN DNeasy Plant Mini Kit are the most efficient commercial kits for DNA isolation from both wheat seed and leaf samples.}, number={3}, publisher={Hacettepe University}
