A genetic diversity on Jabon Merah (Anthocephalus macrophyllus Roxb.) from three different provenances in South Sulawesi

Abstract

Abstract Information on genetic diversity has a vital role in supporting quantity and quality improvement in plant breeding process of a species. In this study, we investigated the genetic diversity of Jabon merah ( Anthocephalus macrophyllus ) in three provenances in South Sulawesi. The analysis revealed the genetic diversity in Luwu, Wajo, and Sidrap was low, with heterozygosity (He) ranged from 0.05 up to 0.29. The number of allele was ranged between two and four alleles with 0.27 and 0.2 of PIC means. The low genetic diversity of Jabon merah in the evaluated provenances was as the result of the genetic mixture from the same parents (selfing pollination), and subsequently produced progenies with similar traits and close genetic relationship.
