Genetic Diversity of Indonesian Shallots Based on Bulb-Tunic Patterns and Morphological Characters

Abstract

<p class="abstrakinggris"><span class="tlid-translation">Variation within bulb tunics has been used to determine the genetic diversity in <em>Allium</em> species, including shallots</span><span class="tlid-translation"><span>. </span></span>However, no such study has been reported for shallots of Indonesia. The study aimed to analyze the genetic diversity of the Indonesian shallots based on the bulb-tunic patterns. Thirty-five shallot genotypes from main production centers in Indonesia were used. The ultrasculptures of the bulb tunics were examined by light microscopy, including the inner surface and cell shape patterns of the bulb tunics. The phenotypic data, i.e. quantitative and qualitative traits were subjected to the descriptive statistics, principal component, correlation, regression, and clustering analyses. The results showed that the bulb-tunic cell patterns were varied, which shared almost identical with 13 <em>Allium</em> species. Total bulb weight per genotype showed the greatest variation (cv = 89.10%) and significant correlation with bulb weight per plant (r = 0.773). The principle component analyses showed the cumulative proportion of 78% of the total morphological variation in all shallot genotypes. Based on clustering analysis, the genetic variation of Indonesian shallots are grouped into twelve clusters with 50% genetic similarity. The study indicates that Indonesian shallots are genetically varied and could be useful for further utilization in their genetic improvement program.</p>

Morphological, physicochemical, and phytochemical characterization of Camellia dormoyana (Pierre) Sealy from Vietnam

“…Moreover, as micro-mineral bodies, calcium oxalate crystals will be formed only as specific crystal types with morphologies characteristic of a particular species. Herlina et al (2019) reported that calcium oxalate crystals control morphology, which is regulated by the cells and genetics. This suggests that based on the presence of crystals, it is possible to separate individual species as well as identify different plant species (Zhang et al 2014;Grechana et al 2020).…”

Keragaman genetik dan heritabilitas 12 genotipe bawang merah (Alllium cepa L. var Aggregatum) di dataran tinggi

“…Penampilan tanaman berbeda pada kondisi iklim yang bervariasi dan varietas dari spesies yang sama yang dibudidayakan di lingkungan yang sama memberikan hasil yang berbeda karena potensi tanaman tergantung pada interaksi genetik dan lingkungan (Visalakshi et al, 2018) Informasi mengenai keragaman genetik dan heritabilitas bawang merah di Indonesia masih sangat terbatas. Hasil penelitian mengenai keragaman genetik dan heritabilitas sudah dilakukan pada bawang merah, di Indonesia oleh Herlina et al (2019); dan Herlina et al (2018); di Ethiophia oleh Degewione et al (2011); dan bawang bombay (Allium cepa L.) di India oleh Solanki et al (2015), dan Dangi et al (2018). Oleh karena itu perlu dilakukan penelitian mengenai keragaman genetik dan heritabilitas bawang merah.…”

Double Production of Shallot (Allium cepa L var. aggregatum) based on Climate, Water, and Soil Management in Sandy Land

“…Shallot's important value in Indonesia is proven yearly with consumption increases [7] and price fluctuations [8]. Shallot production reaches 7.21% of the total vegetable produced in Indonesia, ranking third after cabbage and potatoes.…”
