The qualitative (leaf texture, flowering time and fruit maturity) characteristics of jackfruit possessed wide variation among population in two selected sites. Quantitative (leaf blade length and breadth, fruit stalk length and diameter, fruit length and diameter) characteristics of village trees showed significantly higher value than the suburb trees. Furthermore, the jackfruit samples had significantly higher means for old trees than young trees for several characteristics. On indigenous knowledge of local people researchers categorized jackfruit diversity and pointed conservation criteria. Ethnobotanical survey revealed that planted trees were under selection pressure for timber and fruit quality. Overall measurements and ethnobotanical findings on age distribution of jackfruit ind...

The current state of jackfruit diversity within home gardens in seven unions of Chapai Nawabganj ... more The current state of jackfruit diversity within home gardens in seven unions of Chapai Nawabganj District of Bangladesh was investigated in a comparative study on 210 home gardens, interview's of 335 villagers and screening on 1400 jackfruit plants. The report highlighted the gross lack of scientific information about home gardens for in situ conservation of jackfruit morphotypes and emphasized the urgent need for a systematic research upon which future strategies for home gardens in Bangladesh can be based. Researchers applied folk classification, ethnobotanical and morphological measurement to obtain sustainable design for natural link between conservation and development. 15 landraces and two separate communities were identified by the local farmers. Samples from the selected sites exhibited significant variation for six quantitative characteristics evaluated for phenotypic diversity of jackfruit. On age related

Nawabganj District of Bangladesh was investigated in a comparative study on 210 home gardens,

gross lack of scientific information about home gardens for in situ conservation of jackfruit
morphotypes and emphasized the urgent need for a systematic research upon which future

ethnobotanical and morphological measurement to obtain sustainable design for natural link

six quantitative characteristics evaluated for phenotypic diversity of jackfruit. On age related
2
measures, only Debinagar union displayed no significant alteration for any of six morphological
characters. But all the other unions demonstrated distinct deviations for three (Jhilim and
Shahjahanpur), four (Narayanpur and Islampur) and five (Ranihati and Sundarpur) features
respectively. Ethnobotanical and morphological assessment clearly distinguished the reduction of
jackfruit variation over time among six unions except Debinagar. Present study suggested to
establish common names for landraces to protect them from extinction.
