| dc.description.abstract | There are two types of durian that are commonly consumed and grow in Kalimantan. Two of the bestknown
edible
durians
in
East
Kalimantan
are
Durian
(Durio
zibenthinus)
and
Lai
(Durio
kutejensis).
However,
as
a
plant
with
a
cross
pollination
mechanism,
there
are
many
character
results
of
natural
crosses
between
the
two
in
nature.
Sahang
durian
trees
were
found
grow
in
Kutai
Kertanegara,
East
Kalimantan,
Indonesia.
There
is
a
question
whether
this
variety
is
a
new
species
of
durio
plant
or
this
is
the
result
of
a
nature
cross-pollination
between
D.
zibenthinus
and
D.
kutejensis.
The
aim
of
this
research
is
to
know
and
identify
morphological
character
of
sahang
durian
from
East
Kalimantan,
Indonesia.
This
research
was
carried
out
by
exploration
information
by
interviews
with
the
durian
tree
owner
farmers, then characterization of durian plant used International Plant Genetic Resources
Institute (IPGRI) morphological characteristics. This study successfully identified the character of
sahang durian as descendants of both durian species with combination character from its parents (D.
zibenthinus and D. kutejensis). Sahang durian has some superior characters like medium-sized fruit,
orange color aril, odorless like D. kutejensis, but has a green color fruit skin, sweet taste, soft and
creamy aril like D. zibenthinus. Sahang durian character is more dominantly influenced by
D.kutejensis character, its indicate maternal line has dominant influence compare to paternal parent.
Therefore, it can be stated that the Sahang durian is a plant derived from the natural cross between
D.zibenthinus and D.kutejensis. | en_US |
