The invention discloses a method for efficiently extracting high-quality nucleic acid substances from olive leaves. The operation steps mainly include sampling, grinding, pyrolysis, impurity removal,precipitation, purification, dissolution and the like. Aiming at the characteristics that the olive is rich in impurities such as polyphenols, polysaccharides and proteins, on the basis of a traditional CTAB method, deep optimization is carried out on the characteristics of olive leaves, systematic improvement is carried out on sample dosage, reagent types, reagent concentration, reaction time, reaction volume, operation steps and the like, and a method suitable for high-efficiency and high-quality extraction of nucleic acid substances of olive tender leaves, mature leaves or old leaves is developed. The method can select and extract olive leaf genome DNA or total RNA according to actual requirements, has wide applicability and strong practicability, and has good application value.
