“…According to Takenaka (1962), it is believed to have been derived from Oshima Island, Izu Islands, Japan or from Jeju Island, Korea. After morphological comparison between the related species, Takenaka concluded that P, yedoensis is a natural hybrid between P, lannesiana and P. pendula (Takenaka 1962(Takenaka , 1963. In fact, he produced several hybrids between the two species, and found that some of them resemble P. yedoensis.…”

“…Based on the present restriction data, two dendrograms showing genetic relatedness between chloroplast genomes of 11 Prunus species were constructed. P, yedoensis, the most common cultivar of the flower cherry, which is presumably a natural hybrid between P. pendula and P, lannesiana (Takenaka 1963) showed no interplant variation of ctDNA and had the same ctDNA as the former species, differing from the latter by a single HindIIl restriction site. This finding suggests that P. pendula is the female parent of P. yedoensis.…”

Restriction endonuclease analysis was carried out on the chloroplast (ct) DNA of 11 species belonging to three subgenera of genus Prunus which includes most common flower trees in Japan, namely, "Sakura" (P, yedoensis and others) and "Ume" (P, mume). The ctDNA isolated from fresh leaves was digested with three endonucleases, BamHI, HindIII, and SmaI, and electrophoresed using agarose slab gel. The ctDNAs of the three subgenera had different restriction fragment patterns. In the subgenus Cerasus, two ctDNA types were found, one type in P. yedoensis and P, pendula, and the other in P. lannesiana, P, apetana, P. verecunda and P. sargentii.Similarly, four ctDNA types were found in the subgenus Padus, each type in P, buergeriana, P. grayana, P. Padus and P. ssiori. The ctDNA of the only one species, P, mume, in the subgenus Armeniaca studied differed from those of any of the other species. Chloroplast genome sizes of these species were estimated to be about 140 kbp. Based on the present restriction data, two dendrograms showing genetic relatedness between chloroplast genomes of 11 Prunus species were constructed. P, yedoensis, the most common cultivar of the flower cherry, which is presumably a natural hybrid between P. pendula and P, lannesiana (Takenaka 1963) showed no interplant variation of ctDNA and had the same ctDNA as the former species, differing from the latter by a single HindIIl restriction site. This finding suggests that P. pendula is the female parent of P. yedoensis.

“…On the other hand, Wilson (1916) presented a hypothesis that the Tokyo cherry was in fact a hybrid between Cerasus itosakura and C. speciosa. This hypothesis was ignored for some time, but after its verification by Takenaka (1963), who created artificial hybrids of these two species, the hypothesis has been widely accepted (Ohba, 1992;Kuitert, 1999). In recent years, the parents of the Tokyo cherry and related taxa have been investigated with analyses of DNA data.…”

The flowering cherries, Cerasus (≡Prunus subg. Cerasus; Rosaceae), including C. × yedoensis 'Somei‐yoshino', are popular ornamental trees in temperate regions of the world. Recent advances in molecular and population genetics have revealed that this group originated as an interspecific hybrid. We used these findings and the verification of type specimens to examine the nomenclature of nothotaxa including C. × yedoensis. Four nothotaxa, C. × yedoensis, C. × nudiflora , C. × sacra and C. × kashioensis, were confirmed to be hybrids resulting from crosses between C. itosakura and taxa of the C. serrulata complex (C. speciosa, C. sargentii, C. jamasakura and C. leveilleana, respectively). In addition, the hybrids found on Jeju Island are C. × nudiflora, a new combination for an interspecific hybrid shown to be genetically distinct from C. × yedoensis. A new nothospecies, C. × kashioensis is proposed for a hybrid between C. itosakura and C. leveilleana.

“…Hence, it is considered a hybrid between P. pendula f. ascendens and P. lannesiana var. speciosa based on morphological traits, crossing experiment, and reference investigation (Funatsu, 1960;Takenaka, 1963). It was suggested that the female parent of the 'Someiyoshino' is P. pendula f. ascendens, because they have the same haplotype at PS-ID region.…”

“…The origin of 'Someiyoshino' (P. × yedoensis Matsum. 'Yedoensis'), the most familiar caltivar, has often been discussed for its morphological traits (Takenaka, 1963), reference investigation (Funatsu, 1960), restriction analysis of chloroplast DNA (Kaneko et al, 1986), and DNA fingerprinting (Innan et al, 1995), whereas that of many cultivars remains unclear (Kawasaki, 1993). Therefore, our attempt in this study was to clarify the origin of cultivars by the molecular genetic approach.…”

Genetic variations among flowering cherries (Prunus subgenus Cerasus) were analyzed by spacer sequences between ribosomal protein L16 (rpl16) and ribosomal protein L14 (rpl14) genes of chloroplast DNA, these sequences were named plastid subtype ID (PS-ID), by using a total of 40 individuals from 11 species and 3 cultivars. Nucleotide sequences of ca. 420 bp were identified as part of rpl16 gene and PS-ID regions. One mutation site was found in partial nucleotide sequences of rpl16 gene. Five different A-repeat types were found at PS-ID region, which were denoted as 9A-T-10A, 10A-T-9A, 13A, 14A, and 15A, respectively. One base change also existed in the downstream of A-repeat. Many individuals (20/22) in species that originated from Japan, except for P. pendula f. ascendens, were 14A type, whereas all 9 individuals of P. pendula f. ascendens were 10A-T-9A type. Therefore, the maternal line of cultivars related to P. pendula f. ascendens can be revealed by the analysis of PS-ID region. In addition, P. pendula f. ascendens differs from other Japanese taxa based on morphological traits. The difference is supported from the nucleotide sequences of PS-ID in this study. The A-repeat types of cultivars, i.e., 'Someiyoshino', 'Ichiharatoranoo', and 'Shirotae', were 10A-T-9A type, 14A type, and 14A type, respectively, which suggests that the female parent of the 'Someiyoshino' was P. pendula f. ascendens. The results of 'Ichiharatoranoo' and 'Shirotae' analyses were not contradictory to the morphological taxonomy. PS-ID region was highly variable and useful for evaluating genetic variation and elucidating the origin of cultivars.
