“…Out of the 421 bands, 416 (98.71%) were polymorphic with an average of 18.90 polymorphic bands per primer (Table 2). Choupani et al (2019) reported that the average number of polymorphic bands and the average percentage of polymorphism were 10.57 and 65.28%, respectively, in 34 genotypes from 5 different species of mint using ISSR markers. This indicates that we have used a more diverse collection of mint genotypes for ISSR analysis.…”

Mentha is one of the most important genera of the Lamiaceae with a wide geographical distribution and considerable commercial importance. The general aim of this work was to group 34 accessions from four species of mint using ISSR molecular markers to select some accessions to estimate the potential cross-ability of mints valuable in breeding and phytochemical research. The reproductive characteristics including the type of flower, petal color, sepal and petal lengths, length of stamen and pistil as well as the number of free and living pollen grains in the anther were also studied to find out cross-ability patterns and the possible reproductive barriers. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) among and within species showed more intra-specific variation (92.24%) in comparison with inter-species variation (7.76%). Results of cluster analysis based on ISSR data grouped the mint genotypes into five clusters. By this, the greatest genetic similarity was found between Ms12 from M. spicata and Ml29 from M. longifolia. The genotype Ms12 along with Ms22, the other genotype from M. spicata, were found to be male sterile due to stopped stamen development. These two had higher combining ability (seed set) when used as the female parent in intra-specific crosses and when crossed with M. longifolia compared to the other genotypes in diallel crosses. The highest number of hybrid seeds was obtained where Ml29 was crossed as the male parent with male sterile Ms12 as the female one. This high success rate of seed set in interspecific crosses between M. spicata and M. longifolia could be related to their genomic similarity confirmed by ISSR molecular data. Therefore, producing hybrid seeds and subsequent generations from crosses between these species, utilizing male sterility mechanism, can be a source of new genetic variation for mint.

“…High intraspecific variability is clear from other molecular studies too (e.g., marker techniques AFLP, RAPD, ISSR and SCoT), which mostly led to very heterogeneous phylogenetic or phenetic results [ 32 , 61 , 98 , 104 ]. Choupani et al [ 111 ] repeat for Spicate and Capitate mints ( M. longifolia, M. spicata, M. aquatica etc.) the remarkable conclusion that intraspecific variability is larger than interspecific variability—a thesis that makes sense in a polyphyletic constellation where cryptic species might hide [ 40 ] (see also many other mutually deviant results as for interspecific relationships and variability in Spicate/Capitate mint species [ 30 , 31 , 60 , 112 , 113 , 114 , 115 ]).…”

The genus Mentha is taxonomically and phylogenetically challenging due to complex genomes, polyploidization and an extensive historical nomenclature, potentially hiding cryptic taxa. A straightforward interpretation of phylogenetic relationships within the section Mentha is further hindered by dominant but outdated concepts on historically identified hybrid taxa. Mentha spicata is traditionally considered to be of hybrid origin, but the evidence for this is weak. Here, we aim to understand the phylogenetic relationships within the section Mentha using large sample sizes and to revisit the hybrid status and identity of M. spicata. We show that two of three traditional species in the subsection Spicatae are polyphyletic, as is the subsection as a whole, while the real number of cryptic species was underestimated. Compared to previous studies we present a fundamentally different phylogeny, with a basal split between M. spicata s.s. and M. longifolia s.s. Cluster analyses of morphological and genotypic data demonstrate that there is a dissociation between morphologically and genotypically defined groups of samples. We did not find any evidence that M. spicata is of hybrid origin, and we conclude its taxonomic status should be revised. The combination of genetic and phenotypic information is essential when evaluating hyperdiverse taxonomic groups.

“…Multi-locus dominant markers such as amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), and intersimple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers have been used with a small number of mint accessions for assessment of genetic diversity and relationships (Khanuja et al, 2000;Gobert et al, 2002;Shasany et al, 2002;Shiran et al, 2004;Vining et al, 2005;Sabboura et al, 2016;Jedrzejczyk and Rewers, 2018;Choupani et al, 2019) and for cultivar identification (Fenwick and Ward, 2001). Species-specific start codon targeted (SCoT) markers were also developed and used to assess genetic diversity in 12 accessions from four mint species (Khanm et al, 2017).…”

Crop Wild Relatives as Germplasm Resource for Cultivar Improvement in Mint (Mentha L.)

et al. 2020

Mentha is a strongly scented herb of the Lamiaceae (formerly Labiatae) and includes about 30 species and hybrid species that are distributed or introduced throughout the globe. These fragrant plants have been selected throughout millennia for use by humans as herbs, spices, and pharmaceutical needs. The distilling of essential oils from mint began in Japan and England but has become a significant industrial product for the US, China, India, and other countries. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Research Service, National Clonal Germplasm Repository (NCGR) maintains a mint genebank in Corvallis, Oregon. This facility preserves and distributes about 450 clones representing 34 taxa, hybrid species, advanced breeder selections, and F 1 hybrids. Mint crop wild relatives are included in this unique resource. The majority of mint accessions and hybrids in this collection were initially donated in the 1970s by the A.M. Todd Company, located in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Other representatives of diverse mint taxa and crop wild relatives have since been obtained from collaborators in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and Vietnam. These mints have been evaluated for cytology, oil components, verticillium wilt resistance, and key morphological characters. Pressed voucher specimens have been prepared for morphological identity verification. An initial set of microsatellite markers has been developed to determine clonal identity and assess genetic diversity. Plant breeders at private and public institutions are using molecular analysis to determine identity and diversity of the USDA mint collection. Evaluation and characterization includes essential oil content, disease resistance, male sterility, and other traits for potential breeding use. These accessions can be a source for parental genes for enhancement efforts to produce hybrids, or for breeding new cultivars for agricultural production. Propagules of Mentha are available for distribution to international researchers as stem cuttings, rhizome cuttings, or seed, which can be requested through the GRIN-Global database of the US National Plant Germplasm System, subject to international treaty and quarantine regulations.
