Malapari is a versatile plant mainly used for biofuel and medicine. Efforts to obtain malaparian genetic resources with high productivity are a challenge for malaparian breeding. This study aims to analyze the morphological character pod and seed from the malaparian provenance test plot at KHDTK Parungpanjang by calculating: (a) the diversity of provenance data based on the pod and seed phenotypic, (b) the correlation between pod and seed phenotypic characters, and (c) genetic influence on pod and seed phenotype. A total of 200 pods were collected from 4 provenances (Alas Purwo, Bangka, Batu Karas, and Carita). The pod and seed characters measured included length, width, thickness, weight, and the ratio of width to thickness. Correlation between characters is calculated based on Pearson correlation. The estimation was analyzed by calculating the coefficient of variance of the genotype. Studies on divergence calculated by Principal Component Analysis and cluster analysis. The results showed that all phenotypic of malapari pods and seeds were significantly different between provenances except for the ratio of width to thickness of pods. Bangka provenance was the provenance with the best pod and seed phenotypic characters. Correlation occurs only in each character of pods and seeds so it is not possible to predict each other. Most of the characteristics of pods and seeds are more influenced by genetic factors than the environment, which is indicated by the higher value of genetic diversity. Based on the characteristics of the pods and seeds of the 4 provenances tested, there were 3 groups, namely Alas Purwo provenance, Batu Karas, and Carita provenance group and the Bangka provenance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
