Abstract

Quercetin and Kaempferol have been isolated and identified from seeds, leaves and unorganized cultures of Vigna aconitifolia (moth bean) cultivars (RMO-257, RMO-40, IPCMO-880 and Jwala) raised and maintained by frequent sub culturing on Murashige and Skoog's medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l kinetin and 1.5 mg/l of 2,4-D and screened for their antimicrobial activity against gram positive, gram negative and fungal pathogen.
