“…It was found that morphological characterization showing significant intra-landrace differences was due mainly to their multiclonal composition derived from selection adopted by farmers during vegetative propagation (Lanteri et al 2001;Lanteri and Portis 2008;Mauro et al 2009). Despite this important source of genetic variation, significant differences also exist among the nine landraces and most of these could be well identified, confirming the importance of preserving this germplasm against the risk of genetic erosion.…”

Characterization of Italian spring globe artichoke germplasm: morphological and molecular profiles

Globe artichoke is native to the Mediterranean basin with Italy being the leading world producer. Italian autochthonous germplasm is at risk of genetic erosion due to the large cultivation of only a few varietal types, such as the micropropagated clone C3, and to the introduction of new seed-propagated genetic materials. The aim of our study is to assess the genetic variability existing in nine Italian globe artichoke landraces of spring type, using morphological descriptors and DNA markers (Amplified Fragment Lenght Polymorphism and Inter-Simple Sequence Repeats). A significant genetic differentiation among genotypes was found for many traits. Although some genetic variability found within each genotype was probably due to their multiclonal origin, most of them were genetically welldefined. Morphological and molecular profiles give important information to complete the genotype characterization and proceed with the selection of clones to be propagated and to develop lines and/or varieties. The present paper underlines the differences existing in the analyzed germplasm both within and among landraces and the genetic relations among different material, which is an important starting point for future plant breeding programs.

“…The richest cultivated primary gene-pool of globe artichoke is found in Italy, where domestication occurred (Pignone and Sonnante 2004). To date more than 120 varietal types are reported (Lanteri and Portis 2008), and.classification is based on harvest time and capitulum morphological traits (Portis et al 2005). Edible heads may be produced in autumn and spring by early varieties, and only in spring-summer by late varieties.…”

Artichoke: botanical, agronomical, phytochemical, and pharmacological overview

Artichoke, Cynaracardunculus, is a dietary and medicinal plant species with a long tradition of use dating back to the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. It comprises the globe artichoke, C. cardunculus subsp. scolymus, the cultivated cardoon, C. cardunculus subsp. altilis, and the wild cardoon, C. cardunculus subsp. sylvestris. The edible part of the plant is limited to the fleshy leaves (bracts) and receptacle of a large immature inflorescence, named capitulum or head, that has been shown to be a rich source of bioactive compds. On the other hand, leaves, external bracts and stems discarded by the artichoke processing industry corresponding to about 80-85 % of the total biomass of the plant, represent a suitable potential source of food additives and nutraceuticals. Nutritional and pharmacol. properties of artichoke heads and leaves are attributed mainly to polyphenolic compds. and inulin present at high concn. Other classes of chem. compds., including flavonoids, anthocyanins, sesquiterpenes, and triterpenes have been also found in the plant at lower amts. This review, after a general historical, phytogeog., and ethnobotanical overview, summarizes the current knowledge on the phytochem. and pharmacol. properties of this plant, with special emphasis on the agronomical and nutritional importance of the plant and to the methods of anal., including the recently developed metabolomic studies.

“…Some varieties are particularly suitable for fresh consumption, but others are more appropriate for industrial transformation (Lanteri et al 2004a;Lanteri and Portis 2008;Mauro et al 2011). The cultivated cardoon is mainly grown in Southern Europe, where its young leaves form an ingredient of certain traditional dishes.…”

The species Cynara cardunculus includes the globe artichoke (var. scolymus), the cultivated cardoon (var. altilis) and the wild cardoon (var. sylvestris). The three taxa are sexually compatible and originate fertile F 1 progenies, which, given the high heterozygosity of the species, are highly segregating. We report the characterization of two F 1 populations, one bred from a cross between globe artichoke and cultivated cardoon, and the other between globe artichoke and wild cardoon. Both populations featured a wide array of phenotypes in relation to several traits, and some of the newly developed genotypes are of interest for the ornamental market. The two populations were genotyped at 50 microsatellite (SSR) loci: in the globe artichoke 9 wild cardoon and globe artichoke 9 cultivated cardoon progenies 116 and 97 alleles were respectively detected. SSR pattern scores were used to produce an UPGMA dendrogram and a PCoA plot. A set of nine SSR loci, evenly dispersed across the genome, was shown to be sufficient to unambiguously identify each segregant. The molecular fingerprinting is useful for establishing the true to type correspondence of propagative materials in nurseries and ensures the effective correspondence between the real and the declared identity of a clone.
