3. Jatropha curcas
Jatropha is poisonous, semi evergreen
shrub (6m tall).
They are also grown in deserts.
Seeds of jatropha are rich in oil, which
might be a new source of bio fuel.
DNA or RNA isolation was performed
using the leaf of the same plant.
In cloning also the genes this pant was
used ( DGAT, PAP, LPAT, GPAT) which
are involved in tri-acyl glycerol pathway
(Bio-Diesel production pathway).
4. DNA ISOLATION BY
C TAB METHOD
DNA is a higher molecular weight
molecule and can be isolated from
plant tissue by fracturing cell wall,
and cell membrane using a
detergent and it can be purified
from other contaminants using
P:C:I.
The isolation of plant nucleic acid
is a fundamental requirement for
most characterization, for
identification and isolation of
genes from genetic material.

5. C TAB method of DNA isolation
Leaf sample is taken, grinded, and taken in micro-centrifuge tube,
pre-warmed C TAB is added, and RNase.
Incubated at 66˚C for 1 hour.
C:I added, mixed, centrifuged at 1000rpm for 10 minutes, aqueous
phase is transferred to another tube.
Isopropanol and sodium acetate is added and mixed well, kept at
20 ˚C for 1 hour or overnight.
Centrifuged at 10000rpm for 10 minutes, pellet is retained and
washed using ethanol.
6. RNA ISOLATION BY
C TAB METHOD
RNA can be isolated from plant
tissue by C TAB method.
The isolation of RNA is
preferred over DNA in genomic
laboratories or banks, since
cDNA synthesis and library
preparation is easy to maintain
because it doesn’t have interons.

7. C TAB method of RNA isolation
Leaf sample is taken, grinded, and taken in micro-centrifuge tube, extraction
buffer is added, and RNase.
Incubated at 65˚C for 30 minutes.
C:I added, mixed, centrifuged at 12’000rpm for 10 minutes, aqueous phase is
transferred to another tube.
Upper phase was taken, C:I is added again centrifuged at 1000rpm.
Aqueous phase is taken, Isopropanol is added and centrifuged at 12’000 rpm .
Pellet is washed using ethanol (centrifuged at 12’000rpm) and air dried, and
retained in nuclease free water.
8. Determination of quality and quantity of
isolated
DNA and RNA
The quality and quantity of the genomic
DNA/RNA was checked using AGE. Good
quality of DNA/RNA shows intact band
without smearing.
The purity and concentration
of DNA/RNA was checked
using NANODROP
spectrophotometer at OD
260/280 taken against TE or
nuclease free water as blank.
The DNA or RNA sample showing the OD
260/280 value between 1.7-1.9 was
considered as pure sample and the
concentration of genomic DNA was
estimated.

9. Casting of Agarose gel
The casting unit was setup.
0.8% Agarose DNA, and 1.2% RNA Agarose is dissolved in
100ml of 1x TAE.
Heated to dissolve and 4µl of EtBr is added before
cooling.
Poured in tray and comb was placed.
Left for solidification at room temp. for 30 minutes.

Polymerase chain reaction
(PCR)
Cloning of Amplified
fragment
A biochemical technology used to amplify a
single or a few copies of a piece of DNA across
several orders of magnitude, generating
thousands or millions of copies of a particular
DNA sequence.
The process mainly involves three basic stages:
Denaturation: at 94-96˚C, the ds DNA
denatures into single separated strands.
Annealing: at 50-65˚C, two primers
anneal the complementary seq. on either
side of DNA.
Extension: at 70-72˚C, the polymerase
binds to and extends the complementary
DNA stand from each primer.

CLONE: A collection of molecules or cells which
are all identical to an original molecule and cell.
CLONING VECTOR: It is a DNA molecule in
which foreign DNA can be inserted and which is
capable of replicating within host cell to
produce multiple clones of recombinant DNA.
CLONING STEPS:-
Plasmid isolation
Ligation
Competent cell preparation
Transformation
Screening (blue white screening)
Recombinant plasmid isolation
