“…Plants having more leaf area had the highest number of chlorophyll contents (0.60 mg g -1 ) which might have helped to enhance photosynthetic activities. The increase in chlorophyll contents is mainly due to the assimilation of nitrogen from the growing substances (Hussain et al, 2017). Similar findings reported by (Saleem et al, 2015).…”

Investigation was carried out during 2017 -18 to study the effect of alternate media on growth of "Dracaena reflexa 'Variegata' at Department of Floriculture and Landscaping, Coimbatore. The pot experiment was laid out under shade net condition, with eight set of treatments comprising various combinations of soil, sand, vermicompost, coco peat, rice husk, biochar, perlite and microbial consortia. From the media combinations studied, the treatment involving soil (25%) + coco peat (50%) + vermicompost (15%) + sand (10%) was found to be best consortia for number of leaves, leaf length, leaf width, leaf area, chlorophyll content at 150 days after planting. Medium containing coco peat (75%) + rice husk (10%) + vermicompost (15%) was found to be best with respect to root length, root spread and number of primary roots respectively.

“…The largest proportion belonging to the United States reflects that the United States is still the breeding center of caladium, which is consistent with previous reports [11,12,15]. The number of core germplasms from Thailand also accounted for a large proportion, mainly because Thailand's research institutions have devoted themselves to the cultivation of new varieties of caladium in recent decades, and they have bred some excellent cultivars with specific leaf vein colors, such as C12, C18, C98, C104 and C127, whose leaf vein colors are gray-purple, while the United States lacks such varieties [24,47]. The number of core germplasms in China was the lowest, which indicated that the breeding process of caladium in China is still in the development stages.…”

“…Additionally, as new varieties continue to be updated, some traditional representative varieties of Caladium have gradually withdrawn from the market due to their low prices, resulting in a loss of resources [22,23]. Therefore, establishing a Caladium core collection is necessary to achieve better management and conservation system of Caladium germplasm resources [24]. The construction of molecular fingerprints of Caladium germplasm resources is also required to realize efficient utilization and rapid molecular identification of Caladium germplasm resources.…”

Caladiums are promising colorful foliage plants due to their unique leaf shapes and dazzling colors. Until now, over 2000 varieties of Caladium have been cultivated worldwide. The long-term natural variation and artificial selection have enriched the germplasm resources of Caladium in the market, yet have blurred its genetic background. In this study, 16 informative EST-SSR markers were used to screen 144 Caladium accessions, indicating that 16 EST-SSRs could distinguish all genotypes with a minimum cumulative identity probability (PI) of 2.0 2 × 10−15. Using the simulated annealing method, the richest genetic information was acquired at the same compression ratio. A final core of 44 accessions was selected, comprising 30.6% of the individuals and retraining more than 95% of the total genetic information. No significant differences were observed in allele frequency distributions or genetic diversity parameters between the core collection and the entire population. Cluster analysis roughly divided the core collections into four populations, where 66.7% of the private alleles were detected in Pop2. Finally, DNA molecular fingerprints of 44 core accessions were established, including barcodes and quick response (QR) code molecular identities (ID). The results will lay a theoretical foundation for identifying, preserving, and utilizing Caladium germplasm resources.

“…The ornamental effect for urban areas is excellent, and hence this genus is collectively known as the “Queen of Foliage Plants” [ 9 , 10 ]. In many countries of Europe and America, Caladium is grown as a replacement for traditional grasses and flowers for the purposes of arranging flower beds and flower borders or creating a unique landscape effect of “no flowers is better than flowers” [ 11 , 12 , 13 ]. In recent years, Caladium has become a new favorite foliage plant due to its colorful leaves, short production cycle, and high selling profit which conferred its high popularity in domestic and foreign markets [ 14 , 15 ].…”

Caladiums are promising colorful foliage plants due to their dazzling colors of the leaves, veins, stripes, and patches, which are often cultivated in pots or gardens as decorations. Four wild species, including C. bicolor, C. humboldtii, C. praetermissum, and C. lindenii, were employed in this study, where their chloroplast (cp) genomes were sequenced, assembled, and annotated via high-throughput sequencing. The whole cp genome size ranged from 162,776 bp to 168,888 bp, and the GC contents ranged from 35.09% to 35.91%. Compared with the single large copy (LSC) and single small copy (SSC) regions, more conserved sequences were identified in the inverted repeat regions (IR). We further analyzed the different region borders of nine species of Araceae and found the expansion or contraction of IR/SSC regions might account for the cp genome size variation. Totally, 131 genes were annotated in the cp genomes, including 86 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 37 tRNAs, and eight rRNAs. The effective number of codons (ENC) values and neutrality plot analyses provided the foundation that the natural selection pressure could greatly affect the codon preference. The GC3 content was significantly lower than that of GC1 and GC2, and codons ending with A/U had higher usage preferences. Finally, we conducted phylogenetic relationship analysis based on the chloroplast genomes of twelve species of Araceae, in which C. bicolor and C. humboldtii were grouped together, and C. lindenii was furthest from the other three Caladium species occupying a separate branch. These results will provide a basis for the identification, development, and utilization of Caladium germplasm.
