“…The subspecies phippinensis is indigenous to Philippines and New Guinea, and the subspecies javensis is endemic to Java (Leenhouts 1994). Neither of these two subspecies is grown commercially (Huang et al 2005). The subspecies chinensis, the commercial form of litchi, produces arillate fruit with sweet, translucent and juicy flesh (Huang et al 2005).…”

Understanding the amount and distribution of genetic diversity in natural populations can inform the conservation strategy for the species in question. In this study, genetic variation at eight nuclear microsatellite loci was used to investigate genetic diversity and population structure of wild litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn. subsp. chinensis). Totally 215 individuals were sampled, representing nine populations of wild litchi. All eight loci were polymorphic, with a total of 51 alleles. The expected heterozygosity in the nine populations ranged from 0.367 to 0.638 with an average value of 0.526. Inbreeding within wild litchi populations was indicated by a strong heterozygote defect. Significant bottleneck events were detected in the populations from Yunnan and Vietnam, which could be responsible for lower levels of genetic diversity in these populations. Measures of genetic differentiation (F ST = 0.269) indicated strong differentiation among wild litchi populations. Significant correlation was found between genetic differentiation and geographical distance (r = 0.655, P = 0.002), indicating a strong isolation by distance in these populations. Bayesian clustering suggested genetic separation among three regional groups, namely, the western group, the central group and the eastern group. Some conservation strategies for wild litchi populations were also proposed based on our results.

“…The subspecies chinensis, the commercial form of litchi, produces arillate fruit with sweet, translucent and juicy flesh (Huang et al 2005). This fruit crop constitutes a very lucrative commodity and contributes significantly to the livelihood of several million people throughout Southeast Asia (Huang et al 2005).…”

“…China (Huang et al, 2005), based in its excellent nutritive and pharmaceutical potential (Wong, 36 2000). The genus Dimocarpus contains six species of trees and shrubs and D. longan has two 37 subspecies and five varieties distinguished mainly by the leaflet structure ( The BBCH scale described in this work for longan uses 7 of the 10 principal growth stages 95 starting with stage 0 (vegetative bud development), followed by stages 1 (leaf development), 3 96 (shoot development), 5 (inflorescence emergence), 6 (flowering), 7 (development of fruit), and 97 ending with stage 8 (maturity of fruit).…”

14Longan (Dimocarpus longan) is an important evergreen fruit crop grown in tropical and 15 subtropical climates, with a clear expanding potential, but with a poorly described phenology. In 16 this work, the different phenological growth stages of longan are characterized according to the 17 BBCH (Biologische Bundesanstalt, Bundessortenamt und Chemische industrie) scale. From 18 vegetative bud dormancy to fruit harvest, seven main growth stages are described for bud, leaf 19 and shoot development, inflorescence emergence, flowering, fruit development and fruit 20 maturity. Within them 41 secondary growth stages are described. The BBCH code will be an 21 important tool to assist the development and implementation of longan management protocols 22 and to standardize observations made in different edaphoclimatic and experimental conditions. 23 24

“…Longan, literally meaning 'dragon's eye' due to its round and bright black seed, has a documented history of more than 2200 years in China (Huang et al, 2005). Over this period, 300 varieties have been selected (Lin et al, 2005).…”

ABSTRAK Keragaman Genetik Aksesi Lenggkeng Lokal ABSTRACTThere is no clear history of longan development in Indonesia even though it has developed well in Indonesia for many years.The study aimed at revealing genetic of diversity of local longan was done in Indonesian Citrus and Subtropical Research Institute (ICSFRI) from March to April 2008. ISSR markers were employed to identify the genetic variation among eight morphologically more or less alike accessions of longan ssp. Matrix data was counted and dendogram of samples was constructed using UPGMA and SAHN method. The cluster showed similarity value 0.34-0.86. The highest similarity value was observed between KL I and KL II (0.86) while the lowest one was obtained between KL I and KL V/KL VI (0.34). ISSR markers were able to identify the genetic diversity of longan and were helpful to provide information on genetic diversities especially for future breeding programs.
