Tanaman ciplukan digunakan untuk menghasilkan buah segar, bahan baku nutraceutical, dan biofarmasi. Kapasitas genetik dapat ditingkatkan dengan hibridisasi interspesifik. Ketidakcocokan adalah masalah yang muncul pada persilangan antarspesies. Tujuan penelitian mempelajari keberhasilan kompatibilitas penyerbukan sendiri silang interspesifik ciplukan. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Seed and Nursery ...
