“…On top of this, morphological markers can affect one another and make difficult to predict pleiotropic effects (Andersen and Lübberstedt 2003). As a consequence, nowadays, there is a debate on the importance and the future of morphological studies, especially in the context of phylogenetic systematics (Jenner 2004). Application of a wide range of molecular markers has been the focus of many walnut studies during the past 30 years.…”

Persian or English walnut (Juglans regia L.), the walnut species cultivated for nut production, is one of the oldest food sources known. Persian walnuts, native to the mountain valleys of Central Asia, are grown worldwide in temperate areas. World production exceeds three million tons since 2012, mostly provided by China, the USA, and Iran. Despite very ancient culture of walnut species (Juglans spp.), breeding actually started in the twentieth century. Using a range of methodologies, from morphological markers to the most recent advances in genome analysis, many genetic studies of walnut have been conducted during the past 30 years, including examination of diversity, determination of relationships within or among germplasm collections and populations, phylogenetic and origin elucidation, genetic map construction, and biotic or abiotic stress investigations. The genetic improvement of walnut has undergone great evolution. The producing countries of the Middle East have widely studied morphological characteristics of walnut. The USA and France, for example, are behind important cultivar releases such as BChandler^and BFranquette.^Finally, genomics represents a major breakthrough in walnut improvement, in particular by recent sequencing of both chloroplast and nuclear genomes. This review summarizes worldwide molecular and Bomics^studies and gives an overview of the main walnut breeding programs.

“…In practice, it is seldom the case that morphological data can be seamlessly integrated from one study to the next without the need to revisit the original specimens. Additionally, the complexity of morphology in comparison with molecular sequences means that the former often requires a reinterpretation of the anatomical observations in the light of a new or a different combination of taxa (Rieppel and Kearney, 2002;Jenner, 2004a).…”

“…Thus, exploiting the data will require the continued refinement of database resources and bioinformatic pipelines (Minster and Connolly, 2006;Hajibabaei et al, 2011;Bik et al, 2012;Radom et al, 2012). Consequently, the collaboration between molecular ecologists and taxonomists is required for the accurate characterization of species and for the deposition of quality assured barcode sequences in public databases (Jenner, 2004). The improvement of reference databases and thus the ability to assign OTUs to known species will enable metabarcoding techniques to be more reliably used in monitoring surveys, with high potential for the detection of non-indigenous species.…”

Marine environmental monitoring has tended to focus on site-specific methods of investigation. These traditional methods have low spatial and temporal resolution and are relatively labor intensive per unit area/time that they cover. To implement the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), European Member States are required to improve marine monitoring and design monitoring networks. This can be achieved by developing and testing innovative and cost-effective monitoring systems, as well as indicators of environmental status. Here, we present several recently developed methodologies and technologies to improve marine biodiversity indicators and monitoring methods. The innovative tools are discussed concerning the technologies presently utilized as well as the advantages and disadvantages of their use in routine monitoring. In particular, the present analysis focuses on: (i) molecular approaches, including microarray, Real Time quantitative PCR (qPCR), and metagenetic (metabarcoding) tools; (ii) optical (remote) sensing and acoustic methods; and (iii) in situ monitoring instruments. We also discuss Danovaro et al. Innovative Approaches in Marine Monitoring their applications in marine monitoring within the MSFD through the analysis of case studies in order to evaluate their potential utilization in future routine marine monitoring. We show that these recently-developed technologies can present clear advantages in accuracy, efficiency and cost.
