KARAKTERISASI FENOTIPIK UBI KAYU (Manihot esculenta Crantz) LOKAL SUMATERA BARAT
ABSTRACT: This research was
conducted from October 2015 through March 2016 in four districts in West
Sumatera. The aim of this research was to obtain initial information about the
phenotypic variability of cassava accessions in West Sumatra. A survey was
conducted in four centres of cassava production in West Sumatra : Koto Tangah,
Padang; Batang Anai, Padang Pariaman; Pariaman Selatan, Pariaman; Tilatang Kamang,
Agam. Phenotypic characterization was performed of leaves, stem, and tubers, as
well as the chemical characterization of cassava tubers. The 15 cassava
accessions showed narrow to wide phenotypic variability in leaf, stem and tuber
characteristics. Cluster analysis based on qualitative and quantitative
characteristics resulted in four groups of cassava with 50 % similarity. A
similar result was found based on just quantitative characteristics, whereas
using just qualitative characteristics resulted in just three groups.
