Olive tree (Olea europaea L. subsp. var. europaea) is one of the most important species Mediterranean region and ancient domesticated. The availability whole genome assemblies annotations olive cultivars oleaster (O. sylvestris) has contributed to a better understanding genetic genomic differences between cultivars. However, compared other plant there still lack resources for populations that span entire region. In present study we developed complete variation map comprehensive...
The traditionally edible aerial parts of rock samphire (Crithmum maritimum L.) could be a valuable functional food or feed ingredient due to their high antioxidant capacity, ascorbic acid content, and rich content in secondary metabolites such as phenolics flavonoids. first objective this study was evaluate eighteen genotypes derived from different regions Greece regarding the phytochemical contents soluble extracts total phenolics, flavonoids, individual polyphenols determined by LC-MS...
The genetic relationships between Greek wild olive tree populations and cultivars were investigated. A total of 219 genotypes 67 cultivar analyzed by employing 10 SSR markers. Data evidenced that the exhibited high levels diversity exclusively host 40% number alleles detected. Inbreeding was observed within populations, probably as a consequence their fragmented spatial distribution. differentiation individuals, well low. Nevertheless, three gene pools trees detected, corresponding to...
High-depth whole-genome resequencing of 53 diverse fig tree genotypes yielded a rich dataset genetic variants. We successfully identified 5,501,460 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 1,228,537 insertions deletions (InDels), providing high-density excellent-quality map the tree. also performed detailed population structure analysis, dividing into three geographical groups assessing their diversity divergence. Analysis structural variants (SVs) copy number variations (CNVs) revealed...
The phenotypic and genetic analysis of apple (Malus × domestica Borkh) genotypes is essential for breeding species. Information on the morphology structure offers significant help germplasm maintenance selection suitable material to breed superior cultivars. This study shows results an investigation diversity 19 cultivars, which are preserved in ex situ collection Naoussa, Central Macedonia, Greece. was recorded over a 5-year period 47 traits describing plant phenotype, as well leaf fruit...
Dill ( Anethum graveolens L.) is an aromatic herb widely used in the food industry, with several commercial cultivars available different qualitative characteristics. Commercial are usually preferred over landraces due to their higher yield and also lack of improved than can be commercialized. In Greece, however, traditional dill cultivated by local communities. Many conserved Greek Gene Bank aim here was investigate compare morphological, genetic, chemical biodiversity twenty-two nine...
Observed (Ho) and expected (He) heterozygosity, as well allelic richness (AR) were calculated using Simple Sequence Repeats (SSR) genotyping for two important European keystone forest tree species. Abies alba Fagus sylvatica are under pressure in a large part of their distribution due to climate change. Since Greece is south-eastern limits, climatic even higher. As rear edge/peripheral populations, it harbor valuable well-adapted germplasm conditions such those central Europe by the end...
Vicia sativa L., commonly known as the common vetch, is an annual, self-pollinating legume used primarily fodder both by livestock and wildlife. Additionally, it contributes to environmental balance through nitrogen fixation improvement of soil properties. The phenotypic, genetic, metabolite variability among four advanced lines (BK45, BK29, BK23, BK27) two commercial varieties (M-6900, BI-65) V. were evaluated in order be for future breeding programs aimed at producing genetically improved...
(1) Background and objectives: Cretan chestnut belongs to sweet (Castanea sativa Mill.) has been historically associated with the lifestyle of rural communities great economic importance. However, genetic resources in Crete have rarely studied assessed, while chestnuts are threatened by several anthropogenic factors. This study assessed variability using 59 trees corresponding four best-known cultivars (Strovliani, Rogdiani, Koutsakera Katharokastania). (2) Materials Methods: The were...
The genetic monitoring of forest trees is the utmost importance for securing maintenance species' adaptive potential. Genetic monitoring, quantification temporal changes in a population's variation and structure, introduces prognosis assists defining tools management resources. Forest (FGM) imperative biodiversity hotspots such as Greece, one most species-rich European countries, where >7000 native plant taxa (~20% endemics) exist 28% its land base included Natura 2000 Special Areas...
Honeysuckle azalea (Rhododendron luteum) has only a single population occurrence in Greece, on Lesvos Island of the north-eastern Aegean Sea. The genetic diversity this was studied n = 37 individuals randomly sampled transect spanning between highest and lowest natural altitudinal distribution limits Mt. Ordymnos, SW Lesvos. A modified DNA extraction isolation protocol used to overcome problems quality due secondary metabolite activity. Genetic variation investigated based molecular Inter...
The strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo) is well-known for the use of its leaves, fruits, bark and roots in traditional medicine and, more recently, therapy hypertension, diabetes, inflammatory cardiovascular diseases. plant contains several antioxidant compounds. diversity natural A. unedo populations from Greece studied with leaf morphometrics DNA markers. Five spanning east (Lesvos island 39°12′ N, 26°05′ E) to west (Igoumenitsa 39°30′ 20°15′ north (Arnea, 40°29′ 23°38′ south (Ancient Olympia...
Platanus orientalis L. var. cretica is the ever-growing mutant of (plane tree) and its population consists few trees, growing in isolation on island Crete, Aegean Archipelago Greece, while typical plane tree form ubiquitous to mainly present streams ravines. In study, 23 adjacent pairs were studied. Four leaf morphometry parameters measured using ImageJ software order derive five independent size shape ratios. Paired comparisons Kruskal-Wallis tests conducted via SPSS software. The analyses...
