DNA identification of kayu kuning (yellow-fruited moonseed) from East Kalimantan, Indonesia

Kalimantan is an island with abundance of kayu Kuning (yellow-fruited moonseed) . Kayu kuning used for three different plant species, namely Arcangelisia flava (L.) Merr., Fibraurea tinctoria Lour., and Coscinium fenestratum (Gaertn.) Colebr. Therefore, it creates confusion may cause improper use. It has properties such as anti-diabetic, antiplasmodial, antidiarrheal, hepatitis, antidote. The study uses the DNA barcode technique to identify from East Kalimantan, Indonesia. genomic was extracted, ITS primers were identification using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). compared , a phylogenetic tree. sequence alignment reconstruction revealed that closely related A. had 94.16% similarity according ITS1 barcode.
