Origin and diversity of an underutilized fruit tree crop, cempedak (Artocarpus integer, Moraceae)

Matoa (Pometia pinnata) is a local fruit of  Papua (formerly called Irian Jaya) which has high potensial to develop as comercial fruit. Highly significant genetic resources of matoa potentially for breeding program in Papua are being threatened as a result of cutting down trees for fruit harvesting and of forest exploitation for timber. Besides the loss of genetic resources facing now, other major problems should be consider for conservation and domestication of this fruit tree species i.e. lack of silviculture and agronomy knowledge for further breeding programs; matoa production only for local market; and inadequate government policy for matoa breeding program. Strategy developed for matoa conservation and domestication should also concern about time limited due to the fast loss of genetic poll. This paper provides a general overview of strategy for conservation and domestication of Pometia pinnata with special reference to Papua.

Intention of� this research� is to determine of� agriculture prime commodities of South Buru Regency. The observation was focussed to know potensial area to development agriculture harvesting/cattle.� This paper aims to examine the implementation of LQ approach uses wide of �agriculture harvesting/cattle population series data for five year period (2005-2009) from South Buru Regency as main source. The result of study showed that there was most of sub regency in South Buru regency have the same of prime commodities, and several sub regency have specific prime commodities. The number of prime commodities to the sub sector food crop agriculture are 6, prime commodities to sub sector vegetables and fruits planting are 18, prime commodities to the sub sector tree crop planting are 5� and prime commodities to sub sector husbandry /breeding are 5 commodities.
