“…There are more than 1050 cultivars in China (WANG et al, 1997;YONEMORI et al, 2000;ZHANG et al, 2009), about 500 cultivar in Japan (SATO and YAMADA, 2003) and 186 cultivars in South Korea (KANG and KO, 1997;YAMADA et al, 2002). There are other commercial cultivars and several local types in other major producer countries like Brazil, Australia, Italy, Israel and the United States of America (DUVAL, 1986;RYUGO et al, 1988;YONEMORI, 1997;BELLINI and GIORDANI, 2000;GIORDANI, 2002;NISSEN et al, 2003). Several local genotypes used in minor producer countries like Spain, South Africa, Taiwan and France (RABE, 2003;WEN, 2003).…”

In this study, SRAP and SSR markers were employed to determine genetic relationships among 42 persimmon genotypes (Diospyros kaki Thunb) obtained from Hatay province and 3 persimmon cultivars, 2 of which belong to Diospyros kaki Thunb and one belongs to Diospyros oleifera Cheng. Genetic relationships were determined by using a total of 29 molecular DNA primers (SRAP and SSR). Of these primers, 21 SRAP primer combinations produced a total of 107 bands and 77.6% of them were polymorphic; 8 SSR primers produced 26 polymorphic bands with an average polymorphism ratio of 84.6%. The SRAP and SSR markers produced 4.6 bands as average and the number of bands produced per marker was calculated as 3.6. The lowest similarity was observed between MK-113 (Diospyros oleifera Cheng) and the other genotypes all belongs to Diospyros kaki Thunb (with similarity ratios of 0.41-0.69 for SRAP primers, between 0.25-0.67 for SSR primers). The genotypes/cultivars belongs to Diospyros kaki had similarity ratio between 0.98-1.00 according to SRAP and SSR markers. This synonym or similarity could be results of clonal propagation rather than autogamy.

“…The first was established by the Department of Horticulture from the University of Florence (Italy); they have been collecting persimmon accessions for the last 30 years. The second was established at IVIA in 2000 under the framework of the European program GENRES29, aimed at the conservation of underutilized fruit tree species (Bellini and Giordani 2000) in 2000. Only partial molecular characterization of the Italian collection is available.…”

Tree Genetics & Genomes

In the Mediterranean area, the production of persimmon (Diospyros kaki Thumb) [2n =6x =90] has increased recently as an alternative to the major fruit crops. In Spain, production relies almost exclusively on the cultivar "Rojo Brillante" which accounts for 83% of the crop. A crop based on a monovarietal culture implies several commercial risks that can compromise the future of the crop. Although the species was introduced in Europe very recently, it is well adapted to the climate of southern Europe. However, the recent introduction from Japan, the mistakes on the identity of varieties in the collections due to a bad translation of variety names from Japanese, and the lack of genetic characterization of many varieties have caused difficulties for effective management of the available genetic resources. The present paper was aimed at exploring the genetic diversity among different persimmon cultivars, including those collected in the European survey as well as Japanese cultivars. Seventy-one persimmon cultivars coming from two European collections that included accessions from Japan, Italy, and Spain were analyzed using 19 polymorphic microsatellite markers. A total of 206 alleles were obtained, with a mean value of 10.8 alleles per locus. A neighbor joining dendrogram and a principal coordinate analysis arranged the cultivars according to their genetic relationships. Analysis of molecular variance revealed significant genetic variability between and within groups, 73.3% and 85.2% for astringent-type and country origin, respectively. The simple sequence repeat markers classified the persimmon cultivars according to their genetic relationship.
