“…We further used Hi-C sequencing to mount the scaffolds of L. racemosa and L. littorea to 12 chromosomal molecules, according to the karyotype 2n = 24 of L. racemosa (Jena et al, 2003). To maintain DNA interaction, fresh leaf tissues were fixed using formaldehyde.…”

Adaptation and species divergence in extreme environments are key questions in plant evolutionary biology and molecular ecology.The approximately 80 mangrove species, woody plants inhabiting tropical and subtropical intertidal zones, have long been the focus of research. These plants have adapted to the stressful environmental conditions of high salinity, tidal inundation, hypoxia, and strong UV (Duke, 2014(Duke, , 2017. Morphological traits typical of mangrove plants, such as viviparity, salt-excreting leaves, aerial roots, and high stem

“…2 Morphology, habitat and distribution S. portulacastrum (Fig. 1a) is a herbaceous, perennial, psammophytic, dicotyledonous and facultative halophyte belonging to family Aizoaceae (Lonard and Judd 1997;Lokhande et al 2009a) with somatic chromosome number 2n048 (Jena et al 2003). The plant has various synonyms as well as common names according to its distribution among different parts of the world (Lonard and Judd 1997;Hammer 2001;Lokhande et al 2009a).…”

International audienceSesuvium portulacastrum L. is a pioneer plant species, used for sand-dune fixation, desalination and phytoremediation along coastal regions. The plant tolerates abiotic constraints such as salinity, drought and toxic metals. S. portulacastrum is also used as a vegetable, fodder for domestic animals and as an ornamental plant. S. portulacastrum grows luxuriantly at 100–400 mM NaCl concentrations. It further grows at severe salinity of 1000 mM NaCl without any toxic symptoms on the leaves. The plant also produces 20-hydroxyecdysone, an insect molting hormone for use in sericulture industry. This review analyses research undertaken during last two to three decades in physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology and biotechnology, to unravel the plasticity of the plant tolerance mechanism. Physiological and biochemical studies evidence the tolerance potential of the plant to abiotic stresses and reveal molecular mechanisms of stress tolerance. Biotechnological studies show the efficacy of the plant to produce pharmaceuticals. Large-scale multiplication of S. portulacastrum in the arid and semiarid regions should reduce the load of saline salts and heavy metals

“…Camu-camu is a diploid plant with 2n = 22 chromosomes [3,4], similar to other Myrtaceae species [5]. Genome size (~230 Mb) is the smallest known (unpublished data) of the Myrtaceae family, which range between 234 Mb for Myrciaria glazioviana [6] and 2080 Mb for Syzygium cumini [36]. Genetic diversity studies [37][38][39][40][41], conducted with expressed sequence tags (ESTs) and simple sequence repeats (SSRs or microsatellites) of samples collected from wild populations, germplasm collections, and crop populations from Brazil and Peru, found that the average expected heterozygosity is larger than the average observed heterozygosity (0.67 vs. 0.41).…”

Camu-camu is a shrub, native to the Amazon that thrives in areas where flooding is frequent. Genetically, the plant is characterized by a diploid genome and moderate genetic diversity. Several parts of the plant are used in traditional folk medicine to treat a variety of acute and chronic diseases. For over 50 years, the exceptionally high vitamin C content of camu-camu has attracted worldwide attention that continues today because of the recent discovery of several healthpromoting phytochemicals with corroborated biological activities (e.g., antioxidant, anti-obesity, antidiabetic). All of these beneficial attributes are well supported by in vitro and in vivo studies as well as human clinical trials. The metabolic precursors of these phytochemicals are synthesized in key metabolic pathways (i.e., the shikimate pathway, the mevalonate pathway). Of these metabolic pathways, we show details for the biosynthesis of betulinic acid, transresveratrol, and syringic acid. In conclusion, camu-camu is an exceptional plant for its ability to produce and accumulate significant amounts of a variety of health-promoting phytochemicals. Although several metabolic pathways responsible for the biosynthesis of these phytochemicals have been reconstructed based on fruit and seedling transcriptomes, detailed knowledge of the vast majority of metabolic pathways and their molecular regulatory mechanisms is lacking. Consequently, we must increase our knowledge of the metabolic processes using multi-omic approaches so that we can acquire the skills necessary to develop genetically improved varieties of camu-camu and implement biotechnological applications for the production of these bioactive phytochemicals.
