Abstract: ELUMBA, MONINA DYAN R. and ERSANDO, CHERRY ANNE P., Variability of Fruit and Nut Endosperm Characters of Sugar Palm (Arenga pinnata (Wurmb) Merr.) in Upland Cavite. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Agriculture Major in Crop Science, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2016. Adviser: Prof Ana dM. Magsino. This study generally aimed to evaluate the fruit and endosperm variability of sugar palm (Arenga pinnata (Wurmb) Merr.) in 11piand Cavite. Specifically, it aimed to determine the phenotypic variability of fruit of sugar palm in upland Cavite towns/city in terms of fruit In th , fruit weight, fruit diameter and fruit color; determine the phenotypic variability of nut endosperm characters of sugar palm alter boiling in terms of number, weight, color, shape, p11, tenderness and percentage edible portion, determine; the correlation values of various fruit and nut characters of sugar palm for future selection and development; describe the soil characters in the area such as topography, site, drainage, stoniness and soil pH. The study covered the towns/cities of Indang, Alfonso, Mendez, Tagaytay City, General Emilio Aguinaldo (Bailen), Amadeo, Silang and Magallanes. Two thousand five hundred to four thousand samples were collected from each location and twenty seed samples were randomly selected for further evaluation. To determine the variability of all the characters, Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index was used and correlation coefficients of selected character combinations were computed following PROCC CORR (SAS System, I9)85). Wide variability was found in fruit length, fruit weight, fruit diameter, fruit color, number of endosperms, weight of endosperm, pH, and percent edible portion. Narrow variability is exhibited in the endosperm color, endosperm shape and endosperm tenderness. Weak positive correlations were found in fruit length and fruit weight and in fruit length and fruit diameter. Strong positive correlation was realized in fruit weight and fruit diameter. There were no correlations found in Fruit color and all other fruit traits. Weak positive correlations were found in endosperm weight and shape, endosperm weight and tenderness and endosperm tenderness and percent edible portion. Strong positive correlation was found in endosperm weight and percent edible portion. Correlation analyses of fruit and endosperm characters were evaluated and round weak positive endosperm weight and fruit weight and endosperm weight and fruit. diameter. Across locations specifically higher fruit weight and fruit diameter, sugar palm from indang have superior characters. On the other hand, fruits from Mendez have higher fruit length. In terms of nut endosperm characters, nut endosperm from lndang was foLded superior in weight; from Alfonso in terms of color; and from Mendez it terms of nut endosperm shape. Nut endosperm pH of sugar palm from Tagaytay City, Amadeo and Silang was superior while tenderness of nut endosperm and percent edible portion were superior in General Emilio Aguinaldo (Bailen).

To determine the variability of all the characters, Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index was used and correlation coefficients of selected character combinations were computed following PROCC CORR (SAS System, I9)85).
Wide variability was found in fruit length, fruit weight, fruit diameter, fruit color, number of endosperms, weight of endosperm, pH, and percent edible portion. Narrow variability is exhibited in the endosperm color, endosperm shape and endosperm tenderness.
Weak positive correlations were found in fruit length and fruit weight and in fruit length and fruit diameter. Strong positive correlation was realized in fruit weight and fruit diameter. There were no correlations found in Fruit color and all other fruit traits. Weak positive correlations were found in endosperm weight and shape, endosperm weight and tenderness and endosperm tenderness and percent edible portion.
