Struktur Anatomi Dan Histokimia Daun Buah Ajaib Synsepalum Dulcificum (Schumach. & Thonn.) Daniell
Miracle fruit (Synsepalum dulcificum) is a species of the Sapotaceae family that has a shrub habit and simple leaves. Miracle fruit have potential as medicinal plants. This study aims to characterize the anatomy and histochemistry of the miracle fruit leaves and analyze its potential as a medicinal plants. The methods used were the paraffin method, the paradermal method, and histochemistry. The anatomical structures observed included the midrib, intercostal, leaf margin, and petiole. The results of the anatomical study showed the characterization of each tissue, namely the epidermis, ground tissue, and vascular bundles. The leaf margin is composed of epidermis, palisade tissue and spongy tissue. The midrib has semi-circular vascular bundle. The petiole is circular with a flat convex vascular bundle. Hypostomatic stomata with anysocytic type with a density of 31.13±2.83/mm2. Non-glandular trichomes and glandular trichomes are found on the adaksial with a density 1.01±0.22/mm2 for non-glandular trichomes and glandular trichomes with a density 12.61±0.00/mm2. Histochemical test results show that the leaves of miracle fruit are positive for metabolite compounds with varying color intensities in each tissue tested. The presence of tannin compounds was found in all parts of the leaf tested, namely in the midrib, intercostal, leaf margin, and petiole. Flavonoid compounds were mainly found in the petiole and leaf margin, terpenoid compounds were abundant in the midrib and leaf margin, while alkaloid compounds were predominantly found only in the leaf margin.
