Abstract:
Small fruit jengkol (Archidendron pauciflorum) belongs to fabaceae (legumes).
This species is native to tropical plants originating from Southeast Asia which is commonly
consumed as fresh vegetables and processed dishes. Jengkol has many nutritional benefits
and potentials due to the high content of chemical compounds and secondary metabolites that
small fruit jengkol has. The local community has not optimally cultivated jengkol and their
genetic information is still limited. This study aimed to isolate the total DNA of small fruit
jengkol plants as samples JK1, JK2, and JK3 using the Genomic DNA plant mini kit (Genaid)
method. The stages of this research were sampling, total DNA isolation, PCR and total DNA
electrophoresis. Results of this study showed that JK1, JK2, and JK3 samples revealed more
than 10,000 bp with intact, bright and thick DNA bands.
