“…The increasing prevalence of modern medicine can pose an extinction threat to medicinal plant species. We can contribute to the preservation of plant species that are becoming scarce through traditional medicinal practices that involve a diverse range of plants, including the Kem-kem traditional medicine [ [51] , [52] , [53] ].…”

“…We did not include the Swiss D. carthusianorum population in our ABC model, which was genetically highly differentiated from the other populations. We attempted to obtain as many samples as possible from Italy, but our sampling was restricted to Northern Italy, and D. carthusianorum is present in the Apennines (Di Martino et al, 2020). The status of the Swiss population also remains unresolved; it may be an additional glacial refugium or a result of a wave of colonization from Italian refugia.…”

The key questions relating to the evolutionary processes underlying plant colonization success pertain to the geographic origin of the source population(s), the location of the migration routes, the extent to which genetic diversity is reduced via founder effects, and the extent of gene flow among populations during expansion. However, these questions must still be addressed for perennial herbaceous plants with large geographic distributions. We investigated the colonization history of Dianthus carthusianorum (the Carthusian Pink), one of the most widespread European carnation species. We called genome-wide 236,964 SNPs from a large sample across the D. carthusianorum distribution range, and used up-to-date population genomics approaches (approximate Bayesian computation Random-Forest method, ABC-RF) to infer population demographic history. Spatial genetic structure and diversity analyses and demographic inferences indicated successive East-West colonization events by the Carthusian Pink. ABC-RF also revealed gene flow during colonization, but only among geographically close populations. This study provides important insights into the colonization processes of herbaceous perennial species belonging to one of Europe's most diverse plant genera.

“…Nowadays C. sanguinea is considered a valuable ornamental species with significant seasonal phenotypic transitions upon summer flowering with its bright white flowers contrasting against its deep green, ovate leaves bringing about a vivid appearance, but also during autumn with young shoots changing colour from green to red/crimson as they enter dormancy making it a successful species in winter botanical gardens (Upson and Kerley, 2007). In addition, native germplasm of C. sanguinea that is evolutionary adapted to its native climate coupled with its natural resistance to pests and diseases (Popescu et al, 2016) can be used in botanical garden restoration work across its original habitat zones as well as for biodiversity conservation at national parks (Di Martino et al, 2020).…”

The common dogwood (Cornus sanguinea L., Cornaceae) across the European continent represents a species with validated ornamental and nutraceutical value that has been utilized by humans for thousands of years but has been abandoned during modern times. It still represents however, a valuable but neglected native germplasm resource. The development of an asexual propagation protocol as a first step towards utilization of Greek C. sanguinea germplasm is presented herein for the first time. Plant material was collected from C. sanguinea‘s natural habitat during winter dormancy (hardwood cuttings) as well as during early vegetative growth (softwood cuttings). The propagation protocol was developed through preliminary trials for the successful propagation of the material sourced directly from the wild to establish enough starting material (ex situ adapted mother plants); consecutively, cutting propagation experiments over a two-year period coupled with early plant growth and survival assessment were conducted. The results showed that the use of external indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) rooting hormone application between 2,000 and 4,000 ppm delivered very high rooting rates (80-100%) via the use of primary softwood, leafy cuttings with minimum amount of lignification under mist. The proposed protocol is considered fast, reliable, easy to implement and economically viable. The study provides first time data on domestication and propagation of Greek C. sanguinea germplasm and at the same time paves the way for further research on the sustainable utilization of this species.
