Variation of morphological characteristics, total phenolic, and total flavonoid in Adenostemma lavenia, A. madurense, and A. platyphyllum

Abstract. Nurlela, Nurfalah R, Ananda F, Ridwan T, Ilmiawati A, Nurcholis W, Takemori H, Batubara I. 2022. Variation of morphological characteristics, total phenolic, and flavonoid in Adenostemma lavenia, A. madurense, platyphyllum. Biodiversitas 23: 3999-4005. has long been used as a herbal medication. Despite some studies regarding the morphology potency carried out, variation traits, phenolic content (TPC), (TFC) on different species poorly investigated. This study was designed to observe TPC, TFC Morphological characteristics were observed using qualitative quantitative parameters. The colorimetric method determined TPC plant leaf ethanol extracts. plants morphologically diverse, which significant among three height, length width leaf, internodes distance. traits such width, distance significantly correlate with Adenostemma. These may be important selection criteria for obtaining high content. revealed that these varying substantially impact their chemical compounds. highest found suggesting it is potentially an alternative source bioactive compounds medicine.
