Preliminary phytochemical screening of eurycomanone for selection of high quality planting materials: Eurycoma longifolia

Eurycoma longifolia has been widely used in traditional herbal preparation and presently there are many commercial products available for general health and libido. However, study on plant breeding of this species is still in its infancy. Thus, Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM) has taken a...
