- Abstract
Kebak is a historically significant plant in the Javanese cultural activity Ngunggahne Beras. During field collection, several plants are morphologically indistinguishable, demanding the use of DNA sequences to back up the results of morphological identification. This research aims to describe the maturase k sequence and generate the first DNA barcode sequence of local kebak plants. The DNA was extracted from the leaves, amplified using matK universal primers, and sequenced. The morphological study identifies the kebak plant as Ficus fulva Reinw. ex Blume, a member of the Moraceae, the fig family. This species’ native range extends from northeast India to Malesia. This plant was distributed from Sumatra to Moluccas in Indonesia. It is a tree that performs well in the moist tropical biome. A length of 730 base pairs, partial region, of the matk Genes’ sequence was obtained. The sequence comparison through BLAST revealed that the sequence for Ficus fulva was unavailable, but it is 99.72% like Ficus esquiroliana H. Lév., a synonym for Ficus triloba Buch. -Ham. ex Voigt. Compared to four other Ficus species found in Java, the matK sequence revealed six diverse sites, suggesting that this region is predominantly conserved.
