I would be very grateful to hear from anyone who has a practical protocol
for field preservation of plant tissues for later DNA extraction that uses a
non-refrigerated, non-toxic field preservation method. I have the CTAB/NaCl
buffer method from Steve Rogstad at University of Cincinnati, but
unfortunately the CTAB buffer is toxic. 

Thanks,
