The drought-tolerant Impatiens genotypes are known for their resistance to limited or stressed water. The study aimed to identify drought-tolerance of Impatiens clones. The experiment used a split-plot design replicated three times, with the water stress treatment as the main plot and Impatiens clones as subplots. The main plot consists of 100% and 60% of field capacity. The subplots consist of five Impatiens clones, 17.12; 12; 33.3; 40 B and Impatiens cv of Impala Agrihorti as a control. The results showed that 60% field capacity decreased morphological and physiological traits. Still, the drought-tolerant clones were less affected by the stress and produced more flowers than the others. The most drought-tolerant Impatiens was clone 12. The mechanism of drought tolerance Impatiens was by stomatal closure when the humidity in the growing medium was decreasing. The stomata closure did not significantly reduce the fresh and dry weight in drought-tolerant plants, but it affected the delay in flower initiation. The plant accumulated assimilate for plant height and diameter growth but is not sufficient for generative initiation. They assimilate in the vegetative phase and can be used as sources for flower formation, which show no significant decrease in the number of flowers. The study implies that the drought-tolerant Impatiens clones can be used as genotype sources for drought-tolerant or can be released as new varieties of Impatiens for landscape plants with the superiority in having drought tolerant.
Konsumsi buah-buahan dan sayuran meningkatkan permintaan komoditas hortikultura tetapi pertambahan produksi komoditas hortikultura lebih kecil dibandingkan dengan pertambahan permintaannya, sehingga perlu dilakukan impor untuk memenuhi kebutuhan konsumsi tersebut. Pemerintah pada tahun 2019 merencanakan komoditas hortikultura untuk setiap provinsi di Indonesia. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu menganalisis komoditas hortikultura unggulan lahan kering di Provinsi Sumatera Utara, menganalisis spesialisasi dan lokalisasi komoditas hortikultura lahan kering di Sumatera Utara, dan membandingkan komoditas hortikultura prioritas lahan kering di Provinsi Sumatera Utara. Data sekunder yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini mulai dari tahun 2017 – 2019. Analisis data yang digunakan yaitu Location Quotient (LQ), Spesialization Quotient (SQ) dan Localization Quotient (LoQ). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan komoditas hortikultura unggulan lahan kering didominasi oleh bawang merah, cabai, mangga, durian, pepaya, dan lengkuas di Kabupaten Tapanuli Utara, Toba Samosir, dan Dairi. Ada beberapa komoditas hortikultura lahan kering memiliki keunggulan komparatif dan produksinya tidak terlokalisasi seperti komoditas mangga, durian dan cabai di Kabupaten Batu Bara dan Labuhan Batu Selatan, sehingga lima puluh persen komoditas hortikultura lahan kering menjadi komoditas prioritas.
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.
