• Extracted genomic DNA from 100 mg of Arabidopsis thalina leaves using a Viogene DNA extraction kit. Samples were labeled ZIN for zingiberene.
• Two samples were prepared and nanodropped. The concentration of the first was 2.6 ng/ul, and the second was 3.5 ng/ul of DNA, indicating a minimal yield of DNA.

• Extracted genomic DNA from 100 mg of Picea abies needles using the same extraction kit and protocol. Samples were labeled CAR for carene.
• Two samples were prepared and nanodropped. The concentration of the first was 0.9 ng/ul, and the second was 3.5 ng/ul of DNA, indicating a minimal yield of DNA.

• Ran a 0.6 % argarose gel on the DNA extracted from ZIN and CAR, as well as the column flow-through from the kit.
• ZIN1, ZIN2, CAR1, and CAR2 all show a distinct DNA band above the highest rung on the DNA ladder (>10kb), showing the presence of DNA. No bands were seen on the kit flow-through. Indicates successful genomic extraction.
