“…In spite of numerous cytological, morphological and karyological contributions dealing with the problem, the ancestral species and the mechanisms of speciation which led to the origin of C. sativus are still matter of controversy (Mather 1932, Karasawa 1933, Pathak 1940, Feinburn 1958, Brighton 1977, Mathew 1977, 1982, Estilai 1978, Ghaffari 1986, Tammaro 1990.…”

In the present paper a Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) investigation was carried out on DNAs from five Crocus sativus L. (saffron) accessions cultivated in different countries and on six closely related Crocus species. Aims of the study are to check whether cultivated saffron has maintained a constant genomic organisation and to clarify its relationships with possible ancestor species. For the fifteen primers, which produced positive results, DNAs of saffron corms from different accessions present the same amplification pattern, in accordance with the similar DNA content and base composition pointed out in previous studies. The amplification of the seven Crocus species DNAs with twenty-one primers provided 217 repeatable and interpretable fragments, which were scored for presence/absence and employed for a cluster analysis. Results indicated that C. sativus is very closely related to C. cartwrightianus and also similar to C. thomasii. This result, concurring with part of the previous evidence, would rule out the hypothesis of close relationships between C. sativus and C. pallasii.

“…The species of this genus exhibit intraspecific polymorphism in terms of morphology and chromosomal numbers, especially in the eastern parts of the Balkan Peninsula and Anatolia (Karamplianis et al 2013). According to Feinbrun (1958), these latter areas outlined the center of origin of the whole genus. These species share habitats with the genus Romulea (Goldblatt 1971;Mathew and Brighton 1975).…”

According to the current data, the family Iridaceae is represented in Bulgaria by 30 species, grouped into 5 genera. The territory of Bulgaria, as part of the Balkan Peninsula, is characterized as a part of a secondary speciation center for the largest genera in the Iris and Crocus. In addition to widespread species, there are local and regional endemics that are of great conservation importance. Despite this fact, it is little known about the taxonomy and phylogeny of Iridaceae in Bulgaria. The main purpose of this publication is to present the degree of study of the family in Bulgarian literature, compared to the investigations in the Balkan Peninsula and the literature in the world. Inventory of the collections in the national herbaria SO, SOA and SOM have done. Most of the materials have been collected in the years of the active field studies on the Bulgarian flora – at the beginning of the 20th century until the taxonomical work on the family in vol. II of Flora Reipublicae Popularis Bulgaricae in the middle 60s. The lack of taxonomical investigations in Bulgarian flora justifies the need to reconsider the taxonomical structure of the Iridaceae family. Preliminary studies on species chorology have shown that the Bulgarian floristic literature's data are outdated and do not coincide with recent taxonomic changes in polymorphic paraphyletic and polyphyletic groups. On other hand, the decisions in the phylogenetic relationships between the polyphyletic taxa could be realized using molecular techniques, which have not yet been implemented for the species in Bulgaria. The taxonomic complexity of the group and still scarce knowledge demands further studies in Bulgarian flora, including investigating phylogenetic relationships.
