Fragrance rice (Oryza sativa) recognized as an international crop commodity with high price. Betaine-aldehyde-dehydrogenase-2 (Badh2) is known as a key role in the accumulation of fragrant compound in rice, 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2AP). Nucleotide deletion of 8bp in exon 7 inactivates Badh2 causing in the increasing level of 2AP. The objective of this study was to determine among 20 Indonesian local rice varieties from Banten, Samarinda and Banyuwangi which genetically potential for producing fragrance rice based on Badh2 gene. Total DNA was isolated from leaves and Badh2 gene was amplified using PCR with specific primers. The evaluation based on amplified Badh2 fragments was carried out by electrophoresis in 1% agarose. Based on this study we suggest that Pandan Ungu from Samarinda and Blambangan A3 from Banyuwangi are the varieties which potential to produce fragrance rice. © 2020 American Institute of Physics Inc..
