| dc.description.abstract | Characterization is important in breeding program and developing superior varieties of jatropha. Jatropha characterization can be analyzed based on its morphological and agronomical characteristics. In this study, a molecular marker, Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD), was applied for cluster analysis. This study was aimed at analyzing character and similarity of 30 jatropha germplasms of SBRC-IPB collection. Results showed that 30 jatropha accessions have high character variability. Dendogram of RAPD marker showed that at 33% similarity level, the 30 jatropha accessions could be classified into three main groups. It was also shown that Papua and China accessions had similarity levels higher than 80%. Based on production characteristic identification, the potential accessions to be developed further included Palembang, Pontianak, Pidi, Palembang I, Pagar Alam, Medan, Curup, Lampung I, Lampung II, Komering, and Indralaya. | id |
