Plant breeding has played important roles in improving the quality of crops in many aspects such as increasing the yield and nutritional quality of the crops. This paper aim to outline the breeding programme for three important herbal species in Malaysia namely Andrographis paniculata Orthosiphon stamineus and Clinacantus nutans.

A planting plot of 0.072 hectare has been established at FELCRA Nasaruddin Seri Iskandar Perak to evaluate the performance of these herbal plants based on several desirable characteristics. The way forward of this study is to identify elite clone materials which have good growth performances high in yield and targeted phytochemical compounds. Findings of this study will be used as a guideline for plant breeders herbal cultivators and herbal industry in selecting the best herbal planting materials for their plantation as well as for the development of high quality end products.

Abstract

Plant breeding has played important roles in improving the quality of crops in many aspects such as increasing the yield and nutritional quality of the crops. This paper aim to outline the breeding programme for three important herbal species in Malaysia namely Andrographis paniculata Orthosiphon stamineus and Clinacantus nutans. These three herbal species have been used traditionally by Malaysian to treat various ailments. Previous studies found that these herbal species are rich in antioxidant which benefit human health. The collection of mother plants of these herbal species have been conducted in selected region in Peninsular Malaysia. A planting plot of 0.072 hectare has been established at FELCRA Nasaruddin Seri Iskandar Perak to evaluate the performance of these herbal plants based on several desirable characteristics. The way forward of this study is to identify elite clone materials which have good growth performances high in yield and targeted phytochemical compounds. Findings of this study will be used as a guideline for plant breeders herbal cultivators and herbal industry in selecting the best herbal planting materials for their plantation as well as for the development of high quality end products.
