Studi Anatomi Dan Uji Histokimia Daun Senduduk (Melastoma Malabathricum L.)
Senduduk is one of the species from the Melastomataceae family. Senduduk has a single leaf type with opposite positions, senduduk leaves have the potential to be used as medicinal plants. This study aims to characterize the anatomical structure and determine the distribution location of secondary metabolites in young and mature leaves of senduduk. The methods used were paraffin, paradermal, stomatal printing and histochemical methods. The anatomical structure of young leaves and adult leaves of senduduk has been characterized. The anatomical structure of young and mature leaves has been perfectly differentiated. The arrangement of petiole, midrib, leaf intercostal and leaf margin consists of epidermis, ground tissue, and transport bundles. Mesophyll tissue has differentiated into palisade and spongy tissue. The petiole and midrib have additional smaller transport bundles located on the abaxial side. Stomata are hypostomatic with parasitic type. The highest stomatal density value is found in mature leaves and the highest trichome density is found in young adaxial leaves. Young and mature leaves of the senduduk plant contain secondary metabolite compounds. Histochemical tests on petioles were mostly found on young petioles. The most compounds found in midrib are flavonoids and phenolics. Intercostal and margins of senduduk leaves were shown to contain tannin and flavonoid compounds.
Key findings: Melastoma malabathricum, histochemistry, trichome density, anatomical structure
