ABSTRACT

In present investigation, estimation of DNA and protein from chilli plant was carried out for healthy and infected leaves. The amount of DNA was more in healthy leaves than in infected leaves because the begomovirus damaged the DNA of infected leaves. The healthy leaves show high protein quantity, while in infected leaves the amount was less because of begomovirus.

Key words :Capsaicin, Capsicum annuum, CTAB, DNA isolation, Protein estimation.
