Genetic diversity of local durian from Tidore Island based on morphological and moleculer data for tropical fruit conservation in North Maluku

Abstract

Durian is a tropical fruit that has substantial economic value. One of the durian production centers in North Maluku is Tidore Island. This study’s objective was to identify genetic diversity, taxonomic status, and local durian conservation models in North Maluku. Data collection method with purposive sampling technique. Morphological data, including 142 characters (stems, leaves, flowers, and fruit), were analyzed descriptively and arranged by UPGMA dendrogram with the outgroup (D. kutezensis). Molecular data were obtained by using the PCR RAPD technic. Genetic diversity of local durian Tidore based on morphological characters produced 7 clusters with the closest genetic distance to local durian (R4-R10) with a similarity value of 0.887. Genetic diversity of local durian Tidore based on PCR RAPD technic produced 5 clusters with the closest genetic distance to local durian (R10-R12) with a similarity value of 0.977. The value of Tidore’s local durian dissimilarity is close to 10%; it can be assumed that the genetic diversity of Tidore’s local durian is at the level of intraspecies diversity. Gap analysis recommends that Tidore’s local durian conservation model is appropriate with the durian breeding program through an in-situ selection of superior traits and conservation..

Assessment for Identification of Stelechocarpus burahol and Sister Species Complex of Annonaceae Family Using trnL Intron Sequences

“…The trnL intron for Durio spp. was obtained the highest QV20+ sequences compared to other barcodes (Sundari et al, 2019). From this study all ten specimens were produced high QV20+ values, with the lowest value was found in specimen A3 (A. muricata).…”

“…), baik secara lokal dan global, terutama di Indonesia. and Indonesia (Sundari et al, 2019). In Indonesia, 20 species of durian are found on several large islands, including Kalimantan (18 species), Sumatra (7 species), Java (1 species), Bali (1 species), Sulawesi (1 species), and Maluku (1 species) (Mursyidin & Daryono, 2016).…”

Phenotypic Diversity of Super Local Durian (Durio zibethinus Murr.) Varieties from South Kalimantan, Indonesia: A Case Study

“…This study aimed to determine the phenotypic diversity and relationship of superior local durian varieties from this region based on morphological markers. While these traits have certain disadvantages, such as multigenic inheritance, time-consuming, and strongly influence by environmental parameters (Wu et al, 2021), they are customary to assess the genetic diversity of durian (Sundari et al, 2019;Sihaloho et al, 2021).…”
