Abstract

Indonesia is one of the centers of sweet potato diversity worldwide. Sweet potatoes have the potential to be developed for food consumption. This research aims to determine the diversity of sweet potato cultivars, their morphological characteristics, and the relationships between local sweet potato cultivars in Bulungan Regency, North Kalimantan. The local sweet potato cultivars were selected using purposive sampling with the exploration method. The morphological characterization of the samples is based on IBPGR (International Board for Plant Genetic Resources) standards. Cluster analysis was conducted to identify the relationships using MVSP software version 3.1. The research identified 27 local sweet potato cultivars in Bulungan Regency. Morphological characterization revealed 41 characters that can differentiate each local sweet potato cultivar. The most influential characteristics include leaf shape, flower surface texture, the position of the stigma, flower surface color, back petal color, center shape and the number of lobes, primary leaf vein color, lobe type, main leaf bone color, stem internode length, and plant type. A flower shape that had not been discovered before, a pentagonal shape with curves, was identified. Cluster analysis divided the cultivars into two major groups with a coefficient range of 0.593 to 0.888 (59.3 to 88.8%). Cluster A consisted of one member, LK-7 (purple sweet potato), while Cluster B consisted of several subgroups with 26 local cultivars. The people of Bulungan Regency use these local cultivars for food, animal feed, and medicinal purposes.

Abstract

East Kalimantan represents the lowland rainforest ecosystem with a vast number of macrofungi species in Indonesia. This study aimed to evaluate the diversity of macrofungi within the two different locations in East Kalimantan. The study was conducted in several phases, including planning, survey, preparation, sampling, and data analysis. Sampling was carried out systematically in 20 20 m plots. Collected samples were processed, photographed, and identified. Ecological indices, including the Shannon-Wiener diversity index, species evenness, and the Simpson dominance index, were calculated to provide a detailed analysis of the macrofungal community structure. This study found that location 1 recorded 24 species from 21 genera, while location 2 had 22 species from 20 genera. The Shannon-Wiener diversity index indicated moderate diversity at both sites, with values of 2.82 for location 1 and 2.65 for location 2. Daedaleopsis confragosa was the most frequent and dominant species in location 1, contributing 12.03% relative density, while Marasmiellus candidus dominated location 2 with 18.51% relative density. Species evenness was medium in both locations, and the dominance index was low, highlighting the ecological significance of these fungal species in their respective habitats. The results emphasize the importance of studying fungal ecology to support conservation and sustainable environmental management. The study revealed a wide variety of macrofungi that play vital roles in the tropical ecosystems of these two locations in East Kalimantan.
