Coelogyne rochussenii is a native Indonesian orchid species threatened with extinction due to widespread illegal harvesting from its natural habitat. Therefore, conservation efforts are essential, including propagation through in vitro culture. The Vacint and Went (VW) medium is a commonly used basic medium for orchid propagation in vitro. Still, it lacks vitamins, requiring the addition of org…
The relationship or connection between a community's culture and the surrounding plant life is known as ethnobotany. Knowledge about the utilization of biodiversity varies in its practices, such as for food, traditional medicine, cultural rituals, and construction materials. One area that still practices traditional knowledge is Segamai Village. This research aims to (1) Gather information abou…
The Poaceae family or the grass family, is a cosmopolitan group of plants with significant benefits in food, livestock feed, and industrial applications. Its high diversity and crucial role present challenges in classification and taxonomy, particularly due to morphological similarities among species. Specific and accurate species identification can be achieved through a molecular approach usin…
Solanaceae is a family of flowering plants consisting of 80 genera and 1700 species. The family is commonly used by the community as cooking ingredients to ornamental plants. Morphological variation in the Solanaceae family is often high, requiring molecular analysis in the form of DNA barcoding. DNA barcoding with four DNA barcodes can provide a better taxonomic picture. This study aims to an…
Beriang plants (Ploiarium alternifolium (Vahl.) Melchior) belong to the Theaceae family, are often found growing in acidic soil and have various biological activities. Plant characterization can use a variety of characters, one of which is phytochemical characteristics. This character is able to provide information about potential compounds contained in a plant. The purpose of this study was to…
