Molecular characterization Pinus merkusii native Kerinci revealed by rbcL

Pinus merkusii native Kerinci, also known as Sigi, shares the same taxonomic family Aceh but differs in morphology, anatomy, and physiology. Additionally, P.merkusii Kerinci has a high utilization potential its population is decreasing entry of around can result erosion original genetic source (germplasm). The molecular characteristics differences with will be studied using rbcL. Molecular character compared rbcL marker 4 individuals. results obtained for analysis are percentage conservative characters at 100%, four populations located cluster branch length. This indicates large individual similarity between five populations. These tend to prove that Native kerinci taxa species cannot distinguish Aceh.
