Identifikasi Karakter Fisiologi Aksesi Sagu (Metroxylon Spp.) Pada Beberapa Lokasi
ABSTRACT
Sago (Metroxylon spp.) is an important crop in Indonesia, particularly in the Meranti Islands, which have vast peatlands as its ideal habitat. This study aims to identify the physiological characteristics of several sago accessions based on photosynthetic rate, stomatal density, chlorophyll content, and leaf area index. The research used a Split Plot Design with location (A38, C33, and D35) as the main plot and accession type (Molat and Tuni) as the sub-plot. The results showed that location significantly influenced rachis length, leaflet area, leaf area, chlorophyll content, and photosynthetic rate but not stomatal density. The Molat accession in location D35 had the highest rachis length, leaflet area, leaf area, and leaf area index, while the Tuni accession at the same location had the largest leaflet area. Accessions in location A38 showed the lowest values in most traits, indicating environmental limitations. Although the Molat accession in A38 had the highest chlorophyll content and photosynthetic rate, the accessions in D35 were morphologically superior. These findings suggest that plant physical size does not always correlate with photosynthetic efficiency. Physiological traits such as chlorophyll content and leaf area index play a crucial role in photosynthesis efficiency and plant adaptation. This study supports germplasm conservation and sago productivity enhancement by understanding physiological and morphological traits
