Adaptive evolution implies evolutionary shifts within an organism which make it suitable and adaptable for its environment. Genetic resources of sago palm (Metroxylon sagu Rottb.) populations in Indonesia were explicated as follows: (1) Characters of sago palm in Indonesia were shown varied based on cpDNA markers and large variation based on RAPD markers. (2) Variation of starch production of sago palm correlated with Wx genes variation, (3) Distances barrier and geographies isolation in line of sago palm dispersions in Indonesia (4) Characteristics of genetic were observed does not related with vernacular names those were given by local people (5) Papua islands, Indonesia territorial is proposed the center of sago palm diversities, (6) Papua islands, Sulawesi islands and Kalimantan islands will be the provenance of the diversities (7) Genetic improvement of sago palm might enhanced using molecular marker that link to interesting genes by developing marker-assisted breeding.

Abstract. Yater T, Tubur HW, Meliala C, Abbas B. 2019. Short Communication:  A comparative study of phenotypes and starch production in sago palm (Metroxylon sagu) growing naturally in temporarily inundated and non-inundated areas of South Sorong, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20:  1121-1126. Sago palm forests and sago palm semi cultivation are generally spread in swampy areas, seasonally inundated areas and non-inundated areas. The objectives of this study are to determine and compare the phenotypes of and starch production by sago palms growing naturally in the temporarily inundated areas (TIA type) and non-inundated areas (WIA type) in South Sorong District, West Papua Province, Indonesia. Sago palms of both habitats were found to be the same variety based on analysis of vernacular names and general characteristics. Comparison of morphological characters related to starch production of TIA and WIA types showed that there were no significant differences between the two studied types. The distribution of starch along the sago trunk was observed to be uneven, higher starch accumulation was found in the middle part of the trunk which was significantly different from the lower and upper parts of the trunk.

AbstractSago palm (Metroxylon sagu Rottb.) is a potential food and energy resources becouse it is the highest starch producing plant.  Breeding of sago palm should be directed to produce elite genotype with superior characters such as high starch content, wider pith diameter, without spine and high starch quality. However, research on sago palm in Indonesia so far is limited espescially in the field of cultivation and breeding, and attempt to produce such elite would take long time. Availability of molecular marker for starch content would be beneficial to shorten the length period of breeding. ADP-Glucose Phyrophosphorylase is one of the important enzymes in starch biosynthesis. Therefore its gene is an interesting subject in order to develope molecular marker of high starch content.  This research was aimed to study the expression of gene encoding AGP in the sago palm with high starch content versus low starch content, and to clone the full cds of the gene. RNA was isolated from leaf and pith of both palms. Exspression analysis and amplify-cation of full cds were conducted by Reverse Transcryptase-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) using specific primers. The results showed that sago palm with higher starch content expressed AGP higher than that of sago palm with lower  starch content. Expression of AGP in the full developing leaf was higher than in the young leaf, and there was no expression detected in the pith. The full cds of AGP was successfully amplified and cloned. Even though the DNA sequence showed high homology with DNA sequence of the same gene that has been deposited in GenBank, there were differences in severall nucleotide including that in the active domain of the enzyme.AbstrakTanaman sagu merupakan sumber pangan dan energi yang sangat potensial untuk dikembangkan karena merupakan tanaman penghasil karbihidrat tertinggi.

Background: Sago palm is an important agricultural starch-producing crop in Malaysia. The trunk of sago palm is responsible for the production of the starch reaching maturity for harvesting after ten years. However, there are sago palms that failed to develop its trunk after 17 years being planted. This is known as a stressed “non-trunking” sago palm, which eliminates the economic value of the palms. Objective: The study was initiated to compare the differences in metabolite expression between trunking and non-trunking sago palm and secondly to determine the potential metabolite-makers that are related to differential phenotypes of sago palms. Method: Metabolites were extracted using various solvents and analysed using NMR spectroscopy and GC-MS spectrometry. Data obtained were subjected to principal component analysis. Results: The study determined that differential metabolites expression were detected in the leaf extracts of normal trunking sago palm compared to the non-trunking palms. Metabolite groups which are differently expressed between trunking and non-trunking sago palm are oils and waxes, haloalkanes, sulfite esters, phosphonates, phosphoric acid, thiophene ester, terpenes and tocopherols. GC-MS analysis of Jones & Kinghorn extraction method determined two sets of metabolite markers which explains the differences in metabolites expression of trunking and non-trunking sago palm in ethyl acetate and methanol extract of 89.55% comprising sulfurous ester compounds and 87.04% comprising sulfurous ester, sulfurous acid and cyclohexylmethyl hexyl ester respectively. Conclusion: Two sets of metabolite markers were expressed in the trunking and non-trunking sago palm. These metabolites can potentially be used as markers for identifying normal and stressed plants.
