Protocol for Isolation of Genomic Dna from Dry and Fresh Leaves of Vigna Species Suitable for Rapd and Restriction Digestion

A simple and efficient protocol for isolating genomic DNA from fresh and dry leaves of Vigna aconitifolia and V. trilobata was developed. It involves a modified CTAB procedure using 3% CTAB, 4% -mercaptoethanol, 2 M NaCl and 5% PVP. The extraction was carried out at 70°C. A slight increase in the concentrations of these chemical components and temperature helped in the removal of secondary meta...

Enzyme Assay Guided Isolation of an α-Amylase Inhibitor Flavonoid from Vaccinium arctostaphylos Leaves

The management of postprandial hyperglycemia is an important strategy in the control of diabetes mellitus and complications associated with the disease, especially in the diabetes type 2. Therefore, inhibitors of carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes can be useful in the treatment of diabetes and medicinal plants can offer an attractive strategy for the purpose. Vaccinium arctostaphylos leaves are c...
