Analisis Karakteristik Mangifera Sumatrana Miq. Dan Kerabatnya Berdasarkan Mikromorfologi Polen
ABSTRACT
Mangifera closely related morphologically are quite difficult to distinguish, causing differences of opinion among experts regarding the taxonomic status of several Mangifera species. Therefore, more comprehensive and stable additional data is needed to strengthen the taxonomic status of Mangifera, namely using pollen micromorphological characters. This study aims to add a new source of evidence to clarify the taxonomic status of Mangifera sumatrana and his relatives. Micromorphological observations with a light microscope were conducted at the Botany Laboratory of the Department of Biology, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Riau University, while observations with Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) at the Biology Research Center-LIPI. The results of the study obtained 5 similarities characteristic of morphological properties of pollen, namely monad pollen units, angular polar view, circular/oval equatorial view, polarity isopolar pollen, tricolporate pollen aperture type, while the differences are pollen size, pollen shape, and pollen ornamentation. Based on the results of the study, there were 5 similarities in the characteristics of pollen morphology, namely pollen monad unit, angular polar view, circular/oval equatorial view, isopolar pollen polarity, tricolporate pollen aperture type, while the differences were pollen size, pollen shape, and pollen ornamentation, polar diameter, equatorial length, and exine thickness. The kinship-based on study of pollen micromorphology shows that the pollen characteristics of M. sumatrana are very different from M. indica, while the difference between M. sumatrana and M. Laurina and M.odorata lies in the type of pollen ornamentation. M. laurina has the closest relationship with M. odorata. The results of this study can be a source of supporting evidence in clarifying the taxonomic status of M. sumatrana and its relatives.
Key findings: Mangifera, pollen micromorphology, plant taxonomy, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), light microscope.
