Variasi Genetik pada Pertumbuhan Tanaman Konservasi Sumberdaya Genetik Cendana (Santalum album Linn.) Populasi Pulau Timor Bagian Timur
ABSTRACT: Sandalwood (Santalum
album Linn.) Is a native species of East Nusa Tenggara that have high economic
value because it contains oil in the hardwood that is used as a raw material
for cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. However, sandalwood population in East Nusa
Tenggara has declined severely caused of massive exploitation in the past
without accompanied by the success of replanting. Excessive exploitation impact
on the decreasing of genetic diversity. Conservation was initiatied by the
Forestry Research Institute of Kupang in 2012 with Eastern Part of Timor Island
as a genetic material source. This study was aimed to investigate the genetic
variation of plant growth on sandalwood (Santalum album linn.) genetic
conservation from Eastern Part of Timor Island until 8 months after planting.
The research was designed using Incomplete Block Design (IBD), consists of 25
families, single treeplot and 10 blocks as replicates. The variance analysis
showed there was no significant difference between the families tested and the
average height and diameter growth of test plants respectively 51,02 cm and
4.70 mm. The families heritability (h2f)
estimation of height is 0.70 high category and the diameter is 0.53
medium category.
