Description
Summary:Indonesia is native to a great number of Durio species due to its location as the center of origin for durian, which makes it a biodiverse country. Therefore, before numerous species become extinct, it is critical to conserve and sustainably utilize durian’s valuable genetics for the development of superior variants. The fact that commercial durian is the only type available in the modern ages. This demonstrates the importance of intensifying study on wild durian in comparison to Durio zibethinus, particularly the detection of hybrids. Ex-situ conservation efforts have been made by collecting 11 Durio species with a total of more than 130 accessions kept in 12 botanic gardens around Indonesia. The distribution of these Durio species was also examined, as were efforts to identify the fingerprints of various Durio species and their hybrids for future applications. The genetic variation and prevalence of hybrids between D. graveolens x D. zibethinus and D. kutejensis x D. zibethinus were assessed using three primers of Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD). DNA banding patterns research revealed that all hybrids shared 2-4 bands with their parents. D. graveolens x D. zibethinus hybrids produced more bands than either parent, but D. kutejensis x D. zibethinus hybrids produced similar but fewer bands than either parent. These profiles corroborated the presence of hybrids in those three species. Additionally, the efforts and results of this study will contribute to reversing biodiversity loss and will serve as a foundation for the future development of commercial durian from wild durian.
