Morphological diversity of F1 population in Anthurium through conventional breeding

Abstract

Abstract Anthurium genetic variability enhanced through conventional breeding. The objectives of the research were to obtain (1) morphology variation of the F1 population, and (2) selected clones from F1 population-based on morphology flower. Anthurium CV. Putri Gunung and Alvin were used as breeding parents. Anthurium CV. Putri Gunung as female parents and Alvin as male parents. The specific character of anthurium CV. Putri Gunung is potted anthurium with a red spathe. The color of anthurium cv. Alvin is white. Anthurium cv Alvin is also potted anthurium. There were 18 individual plants and 3 selected clones based on the color and size of flower in the F1 population. The F1 population was potted plant divided into categories, small and mini flower based on spathe size. There was some variation in spathe and spadix. Morphological variation based on the color of spathe and spadix and size of the flower.
