Abstract
Centella asiatica (L.) Urban is an important medicinal herb that has great potential in the herbal industry. Its major bioactive triterpenoids possess wound healing, anti-aging, and anti-inflammation properties. In this study, we investigated the effects of growing media and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) treatment on the growth of Centella in hydroponic systems. Three different growing media were used including zeolite, husk charcoal, and sawdust, while spraying of MeJA was carried out on the 50th day when the ovules had formed with various concentrations of MeJA 0.5, 10, 25, and 50 µM. The observed plant growth was morphology, plant height, number of leaves, number of chlorophyll, number of stolons, fresh and dry weight per sample. The results showed that the zeolite growing media and elicitor MeJa 10 µM produce better growth data compared to rice husk and sawdust. This experiment also showed that that the amount of chlorophyll produced from 15 treatments on average produces the same amount, with a value range of 40.00-48.00 (imol/ m2, respectively).
