Exploration and Characterization of Local Glutinous Rice Germplasm (Oryza sativa L. Var. Glutinosa) three Regencies in west Sumatra

The purpose of this research was to identify and characterize the morphology of local glutinous rice germplasm three regencies in West Sumatera. This research was conducted in May – August 2019 in three regencies of West Sumatera. The result of this research indicate that glutinous rice plants can grow to a height of 1086 meters above sea level with a coordinate point 0°33'27” South Latitude and 100°32'28” East Longitude. The highest plants are found in white glutinous rice ‘Puluik Tinggi' that is 150,03 cm and the lowest plants are found in black glutinous rice ‘Puluk Itam' that is 90,6 cm. Observation of the highest amount of leaves found in white glutinous rice germplast ‘Pulut Putih' as many as 60,4 strands/clumps while the smallest amount of leaves obtained in white glutinous rice germplasm ‘Anak Ulek' as many as 51,3 strands/clumps. The fastest harvest period in white glutinous rice germplast ‘Pulut Putih' during 120 days and the longest harvest period in white glutinous rice ‘Kuku Balam', ‘Puluik Tinggi', ‘Puluk Putih' and red glutinous rice ‘Puluk Sirah' during 165 days. There are 2 germplasm that has the highest similarity coefficient that is 42 % between white glutinous rice ‘Anak Ulek' dan ‘Pulut putih', this means that both germplasm have a close kinship.
