Abstract:
Jengkol (Archidendron pauciflorum) is a native plant from Southeast Asia. This plant
is classified into family Fabaceae. Jengkol fruit has a unique stench due to djenkolic
acid. Jengkol is frequently used as medicine such as diarrhea medicine, wound
medicine, antibiotics and as anti-inflammatory. Molecular research on jengkol is still
limited. Therefore, to support molecular analysis of jengkol, this study aimed to isolate
total DNA. Total DNA isolation was carried out using young leaves of two individuals
JB1 and JB2 following the Genomic DNA Mini Kit Plant (Geneaid) kit protocol. The
visualization results of the total DNA bands showed bright and thick bands with a size
of more than 10,000 bp.
