“…Antioxidant properties and phenolic compounds have been measured in some European and North American cultivars (e.g. [ 9 , 106 ]). Overall, the antioxidant properties, total phenolic, flavonoids, and anthocyanin content of these cultivars are lower than those of wild clones, which have been explained by phenology-related physiological differences between them.…”

“…While it is well known that environmental conditions can affect the concentration of phenolic content and antioxidant capacity in V. vitis-idaea (e.g. [ 9 , 10 ]), very few studies have characterized the genetic diversity of wild populations in North America [ 8 , 11 , 12 ]. Neither the complete nuclear genome nor the plastome have been sequenced for this species, and no single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) or expressed sequence tags (EST) are available as genetic resources.…”

BackgroundLingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea L.), one of the least studied fruit crops in the Ericaceae family, has a dramatically increased worldwide demand due to its numerous health benefits. Genetic markers can facilitate the selection of berries with desirable climatic adaptations, agronomic and nutritious characteristics to improve cultivation programs. However, no genomic resources are available for this species.ResultsWe used Genotyping-by-Sequencing (GBS) to analyze the genetic variation of 56 lingonberry samples from across Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. To elucidate a potential adaptation to environmental conditions we searched for genotype-environment associations by applying three distinct approaches to screen the identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for correlation with six environmental variables. We also searched for an association between the identified SNPs and two phenotypic traits: the total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant capacity (AC) of fruit. We identified 1586 high-quality putative SNPs using the UNEAK pipeline available in TASSEL. We found 132 SNPs likely associated with at least one of the environmental or phenotypic variables. To obtain insights on the function of the genomic sequences containing the SNPs likely to be associated with the environmental or phenotypic variables, we performed a sequence-based functional annotation and identified homologous protein-coding sequences with functional roles related to abiotic stress response, pathogen defense, RNA metabolism, and, most interestingly, phenolic compound biosynthesis.ConclusionsThe putative SNPs discovered are the first genomic resource for lingonberry. This resource might prove useful in high-density quantitative trait locus analysis, and association mapping. The identified candidate genes containing the SNPs need further studies on their potential role in local adaptation of lingonberry. Altogether, the present study provides new resources that can be used to breed for desirable traits in lingonberry.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12864-017-4396-9) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Simultaneously, it activates silvicultural measures directed to increase lingonberry yield (Pettenella et al 2019;Wolfslehner 2019). Tree stand thinning and moderate tree stand disturbance have already been recommended to increase lingonberry cover and yield (Mäkipää 1999;Hautala et al 2001;Bergstedt et al 2008;Hekkala et al 2014;Johnson et al 2014) and to improve lingonberry chemical quality (Vyas et al 2015;Vilkickyte et al 2019). This study revealed that the forest management scheme concentrated on transformation of pine monocultures to mixed Scots pine-red oak forests also needs improvement to consider lingonberry and other species -sources of NWFPs.…”

Background: Multi-purpose use of forests in a sustainable way forces a recognition of how alien woody species introduction in forests with different land use history affect native plants other than trees. Lingonberry Vaccinium vitis-idaea is an important understory component of temperate and boreal forests and provider of valuable non-wood forest products. Here we studied effects of land use changes and introduction of Northern red oak Quercus rubra on lingonberry in a mesic Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) forests (in central Poland). We measured lingonberry cover, height of shoots, biomass of stems and leaves, and fruit productivity. Shoots were collected within 200 research plots located in recent and ancient Scots pine forests, with and without Q. rubra.Results: We found that V. vitis-idaea reached lower cover, aboveground biomass and fruit production in recent than ancient forests and in forests with than without Q. rubra. The fruit production in recent pine forest was only 2% of that reported in ancient pine forest, and V. vitis-idaea did not reproduce generatively in forests with Q. rubra. Biomass and carbon sequestration of V. vitis-idaea in forests with alien (invasive) tree decreased by 75% compared to ancient pine forest. Effects were also clear at the individual shoot level – in less suitable conditions we found taller heights and higher biomass allocation into stems than foliage. Biomass allocation in fruiting and non-fruiting shoots in pine forests was also different – less of the dry biomass of fruiting shoots was allocated to leaves than to stems.Conclusions: In the age of high interest in ecosystem services and discussions about usage of alien tree species as alternatives in forest management, our results clearly indicate disruption of ecosystem services provided by V. vitis-idaea in the presence of Q. rubra. Lingonberry benefited from the continuity of forest land use, however, regardless of land-use legacy, alien tree introduction, led to decline in abundance of species crucial for ecosystem functioning. Therefore, to maintain valuable native species and for conservation of ecosystem services delivery, we suggest limiting the introducing Q. rubra in areas with abundant V. vitis-idaea, especially in forests with continuous forest land-use history.

Elfogadva: 2016. március 7.Kulcsszavak: Keleti-Kárpátok, össz-antocianin, Vaccinium vitis-idaea, vörös áfonya. Összefoglalás:A vörös áfonya (Vaccinium vitis-idaea L.) évszázadok óta haszná-latos az erdélyi népgyógyászatban és hagyományos táplálkozásban, a néphit által egész-ségvédő hatással felruházott vadnövény. Beltartalmi összetevői tekintetében számos nem tápanyagként hasznosuló, ám az egészségre előnyös hatással bíró vegyületet ír le a nemzetközi szakirodalom. Célkitűzésként négy erdélyi: Maroshéviz, Gyergyó, Csík, Udvarhely tájegységből gyűjtött vörös áfonya minta össz-antocianin tartalmának spektrofotometriás meghatározását és összehasonlítását, ezek termőhelyi viszonyok által okozott változásának vizsgálatát fogalmaztuk meg. Az azonos körülmények között tárolt vörös áfonya termésminták össz-antocianin tartalma 166,49-324,52 mg/100 g szárazanyag között változott és azokban az állományokban (Büdösfürdő, Bélbor) mértünk nagyobb mennyiséget (304,88 valamint 324,52 mg/100 g szárazanyag), amelyek kevésbé zárt erdőkben voltak és több napfény érte őket a termés érése során. BevezetésA vörös áfonya (Vaccinium vitis-idaea L.) az a vadontermő gyümölcsfaj, amely a sajátos domborzati viszonyoknak, termőhelyi adottságoknak köszönhe-tően jól képviseli az erdélyi vadnövénygyűjtés hagyományait, jelenlegi helyzetét. Az erdélyi populációival kapcsolatos román és magyar szakirodalom meglehető-sen szegényes, az állományok helyéről, nagyságáról, számáról kevés a fellelhető adat, mindössze egy-két szerző publikációira lehet támaszkodni (Höhn 1996(Höhn -97, 1998. A beltartalmi összetevők és ezek egészségvédő hatásával kapcsolatban is alig néhány említést tartalmaz az irodalom (Rácz és Csedő 1970, Butură 1979, * Elhangzott előadás a Botanikai Szakosztály 1470. szakülésén, 2015. november 9-én.
