Polyphenolics are a widely distributed class of plant constituents implicated in the inhibition of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Since chlorogenic acid forms the bulk of phenolics in the potato tuber, a range of chlorogenic acid concentrations were tested for inhibition of reverse transcription (RT) and PCR steps. The RT step was inhibited at chlorogenic acid concentrations of 6.0 to 7.5 microg, while the PCR step was inhibited at much lower concentrations of 1.2 to 1.8 microg. Incorporation of 1.2% citric acid at the nucleic acid extraction step prevented darkening of the extract and neutralized the inhibitory effect of chlorogenic acid.
