X. granatum is one of mangrove plants that may exist in extreme environments. This plant contains secondary metabolites for further study. Complete Random Design (CRD) was used with 5 treatment of light intensity (0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%) of X. granatum seedlings. Results showed that 100% shade (0% light intensity) provided the highest growth response, but does not necessarily provided optimum growth response. The total content of polyisoprenoid in 0% shade was of 0,153 ml little bit higher than 75% of 0.144 ml. TLC analysis of the results showed that the concentrations of dolichol in treatment 0% shade was higher inĀ the root and the leaves of X. granatum seedlings compared to 75% shade treatment .
