“…scolymus L.), belonging to the Asteraceae (Compositae) family, is an herbaceous perennial plant native to the Mediterranean area (Bianco 2005), where about 90% of world production is found with 1.52 million tons on 133,326 Ha (FAOSTAT 2009, http://faostat.fao.org). Several uses such as (i) human food as a typical component of the Mediterranean diet, (ii) lignocellulosic biomass for energy (Angelini et al 2009;Ierna and Mauromicale 2010;Gominho et al 2011) and paper pulp (Gominho et al 2001(Gominho et al , 2009), (iii) seed oil for biodiesel fuel production , (iv) roots for inulin Melilli 2004, 2010), (v) leaves and heads for pharmaceutical compounds (Fratianni et al 2007;Lattanzio et al 2009;Bonasia et al 2010;Lombardo et al 2010;Pandino et al 2010Pandino et al , 2011, are considered for the species.…”

“…In Italy, little has been up now done in this sector except for some clonal selections carried out to obtain the Romanesco C3 clone from the traditional populations of Castellammare and Terom from Violetto di Toscana (Soressi 2003). Moreover, introduction of new seed-propagated F 1 hybrids such as Madrigal, Concerto, Opal, Tema (Zaniboni 2009;Bonasia et al 2010) and Romolo, as well as the use of Italian micropropagated clones well suited to market demands, represent factors increasing the risk of genetic erosion for autochthonous germplasm.…”

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.

BACKGROUND: Persistent water shortage, typical of Mediterranean agricultural systems, has driven production methods towards the use of regulated deficit irrigation (DI) strategies, which may allow important water savings. To evaluate the extent to which pomegranate (cv. 'Wonderful') attributes may differ depending on the irrigation application rates, we investigated the effect of four different irrigation regimes (100, 75, 50, and 25% of maximum crop evapotranspiration-ET C) on their morphopomological, physico-chemical properties, and bioactive compounds. RESULTS: The weight and the size of whole fruits, and the number of arils and their weight per fruit, decreased significantly with the restriction of ET C water volumes applied to the crop. Minor differences were observed in soluble solids, pH, color of fruit skins, arils, and juices, although total acidity, maturity index, vitamin C, glucose, and fructose were not affected. However, total phenol content and antioxidant activity in juices were higher in the samples subjected to the DI treatments than in those submitted to full irrigation, showing the highest value at 50% ET C. A similar trend was found for anthocyanins delphinidin-3,5diglucoside and delphinidin-3-glucoside, reaching the highest concentration at 50% ET C. Among non-anthocyanin compounds, punicalagins and pedunculagin were more concentrated in the 75% ETc samples. CONCLUSION: The results of the present study indicate that the DI strategy throughout all the growing season is likely to have important implication for the pomegranate's physical, chemical, and phytochemical properties. Knowledge of them is useful in view of their processing and nutritional properties.
