Abstract
  • Artichoke (Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus) is an economically important vegetable crop in Europe, used both as a food and in medicine, thanks to its beneficial properties (e.g. anticarcinogenic, anti-HIV, antioxidative, and choleretic). Its wild progenitor, wild cardoon (C. cardunculus var. sylvestris), gave rise to two crops: artichoke and cultivated cardoon. While the former is vegetatively propagated, the latter is propagated by seeds. The existence of this complex primary gene pool, containing the wild progenitor and two crops showing a different reproduction system, is a unique situation among crop species. This makes the study of gene pools and germplasm differentiation particularly interesting, and opens perspectives on the utilization of Cynara genetic resource. In this light, it is necessary to collect, store and study Cynara germplasm. Within this framework, the project CYNARES (July 2007-June 2011), financed by the European Union, measure AGRIGEN-RES 063, targets the following main objectives: a) collection and conservation of Cynara germplasm; b) rationalization of the collections; c) morphological, biochemical, and molecular characterization; d) establishment of standardized protocols of analysis, e) constitution of a European research network on Cynara. The project is coordinated by the University of Tuscia, Italy, with the participation of other Italian, French, and Spanish partners and is articulated in 5 Work Packages coordinated by different partners. The Cynara living collections held in the three countries have been enriched with new germplasm material. The most promising genotypes will be also stored in vitro. Plant DNA was extracted and distributed among partners; a larger DNA amount was stored in the CNR-IGV DNA bank, in order to preserve genetic material for future genetic analyses. All data resulting from bio-morphological, biochemical (antioxidant and inulin content), and molecular marker (SSR, AFLP, ISSR) analyses will be stored in a web-based database.
