The Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench, commonly known as okra, is increasingly cultivated in Indonesia due to its recognition as a functional food source. Current efforts in breeding new okra varieties are focused on high productivity, yet minimal information is available regarding selection criteria.

Chili () consumption is often suggested, and using functional food cultivars is the most effective strategy post COVID-19 pandemic. Controlling chili breeding activity is one of the most effective methods to produce new hybrid varieties. However, the general combining ability (GCA), specific combining ability (SCA), and heterotic effect of functional biochemicals (polyphenol content, antioxidant activities, and α-glucosidase inhibitory compounds) remain poorly known in .

Article Synopsis
  • - The research aimed to explore the diversity of okra genotypes in Indonesia, focusing on both their quantitative (e.g., yield) and qualitative characteristics, to support future plant breeding programs for enhanced productivity and anti-diabetic potential.
  • - A randomized block design was used to study 20 okra genotypes across 60 experimental units, with data analyzed using various statistical tools, revealing significant differences among genotypes based on characteristics like fruit yield, leaf width, and carpel thickness.
  • - Cluster analysis identified three distinct groups of genotypes, highlighting the genetic diversity present in okra, which can guide future breeding efforts to select the most promising varieties for cultivation.

Community based disaster management (CBDM) empowers communities to be actively engaged and be pro-active in disaster management. The involvement of the community is one of the keys to success in disaster management, especially considering the values embraced by the community itself such as religious values and local wisdom. This study aimed to create and implement a CBDM model based on religious and local wisdom of Minangkabau people in West Sumatra, Indonesia.
