Genome Characterization of Stelechocarpus burahol (Blume) Hook.f. Thomson Kepel and Exploration of Phytochemicals from Water and Ethanolic Extracts of Leaves and Fruits

Stelechocarpus burahol (kepel) is valued for its aromatic fruits and medicinal leaves, yet its genomic and phytochemical features remain poorly characterized. This study estimated the nuclear DNA content of kepel leaves at 3.96 pg per haploid genome (genome size: 3873 Mbp) and comprehensively profiled their bioactive metabolites. Leaf extracts prepared with water and 70% ethanol, with or without pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment, were ana- lyzed using HPLC-MS, UHPLC-QTOF-MS, HPLC-DAD, and...
