Some genes like 18S rRNA, 26S rRNA, elongation factor 1-alpha (EF1α), and beta-tubulin (TUB) are members of housekeeping genes group that are commonly used as internal control in gene expression study. This study aimed to isolate those four housekeeping genes of tuntun angin (Elaeocarpus floribundus). The research material included fresh leaves of E. floribundus that were picked up from Kajuik Lake in Riau Province and four primer pairs. The procedures consisted of total DNA isolation using Genomic DNA Mini Kit Plant (Geneaid), polymerase chain reaction (PCR), electrophoresis on 1% agarose gel, sequencing, and bioinformatic analysis. This study has been isolated 18S rRNA, 26S rRNA, EF1α, and TUB genes with the size of 422 bp, 922 bp, 856 bp, and 877 bp, respectively. The EF1α and TUB genes has never been reported in Elaeocarpaceae family. Thus, those partial DNA sequences are the first sequences reported from this species and can be used as reference genes in this plant after validation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
