“…To resolve such an edge case a full sequencing run could reveal genomic mutations, such as translocation, or perhaps other properties of the genome at that position which would allow the probes to bind in this particular way. Further, as I. x germanica is a suspect tetraploid [ 5 , 18 , 33 ], the additional genetic information could skew the subsequent phylogenetic analysis as additional peaks appeared in positions only in one individual and could thus not be compared to any other values in the study, carrying an extremely low PIC. For our analysis such peaks were considered to be outliers; however, we are not suggesting they are not valid data in different subsamples.…”

“…Although its taxonomic position is critical and still unresolved, the taxon I. x croatica is considered as a native endemic taxon in northern Croatia and Slovenia [ 12 , 13 , 44 ]. Likely due to morphological similarities, it is often mixed with and named as a synonym for I. x germanica [ 1 , 2 , 5 , 13 ], which is, in our opinion, distributed worldwide only as a cultivated hybrid species [ 1 , 9 ]. The fact that the WCSP [ 2 ] wrongly “declares” I. croatica Horvat & M.D.…”

“…The fact that the WCSP [ 2 ] wrongly “declares” I. croatica Horvat & M.D. Horvat as an illegitimate name, due to an incorrect replacement with I. croatica Prodan, provokes further taxonomic confusion [ 45 ], explained in detail in [ 5 ]. The close relationship between I .…”

“…Phylogenetic and evolutionary studies of relationships of wild Iris taxa have long been challenging for several reasons. Namely, wide distribution, morpho-ecological diversity, multiple hybridisations, and convergent evolution processes, make definitive statements of the origin and evolution of taxa in the genus Iris very difficult [ 4 , 5 ]. To resolve a myriad of uncertainties and issues related to taxonomic and phylogenetic relationships within the genus Iris , extensive work was performed on morpho-anatomical features, palynology, phytochemical constituents’ analysis, cytogenetic traits, and molecular analysis [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ].…”

“…The broad Alpine-Dinaric, as well as the surrounding Mediterranean and Pannonian area of Europe (where irises for our study were sampled) is characterised by peculiar eco-climate conditions which have caused a great morphological variability of some Iris populations and groups. Their variety has resulted in ambiguous systematic status of some regional, especially endemic, Iris taxa [ 5 , 8 ]. Some of them are recognised in the national and regional floras [ 12 , 13 ] and still have an unclear phylogenetic and classification status.…”

Some wild, morphologically diverse taxa of the genus Iris in the broad Alpine-Dinaric area have never been explored molecularly, and/or have ambiguous systematic status. The main aims of our research were to perform a molecular study of critical Iris taxa from that area (especially a narrow endemic accepted species I. adriatica, for which we also analysed genome size) and to explore the contribution of eight microsatellites and highly variable chloroplast DNA (ndhJ, rpoC1) markers to the understanding of the Iris taxa taxonomy and phylogeny. Both the microsatellite-based UPGMA and plastid markers-based maximum likelihood analysis discriminated three main clusters in the set of 32 analysed samples, which correspond well to the lower taxonomic categories of the genus, and support separate status of ambiguous regional taxa (e.g., I. sibirica subsp. erirrhiza, I. x croatica and I. x rotschildii). The first molecular data on I. adriatica revealed its genome size (2C = 12.639 ± 0.202 pg) and indicated the existence of ecotypes. For future molecular characterisation of the genus we recommend the utilisation of microsatellite markers supplemented with a combination of plastid markers.

Introduction Irises have been medicinally used in Ancient Egyptians, Anatolian, Chinese, British and Irish folk medicine. They are also well‐known ornamental plants that have economic value in the perfume industry. The main obvious diagnostic difference between the different species is based on the morphology of the flowers. The flowering cycle is very short as well as the persistence of the fully opened flowers extends for a few days only. Moreover, the climatic conditions significantly causes fluctuation in their blooming time from year to year. This makes the morphological discrimination very difficult. The discrimination of different iris species is of a great importance, as each species is reported to possess different folk medicinal activities. Objectives Finding genetic and metabolic markers for differentiation between Iris confusa Sealy (Subgen. Limniris Sect. Lophiris), I. pseudacorus L. (Subgen. Limniris Sect. Limniris) and I. germanica L. (Subgen. Iris Sect. Iris) on levels other than traditional taxonomic features. Material and Methods Inter‐simple sequence repeat (ISSR) and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) analyses were performed. Results The highest similarity was found between I. pseudacorus L. and I. germanica L. and the least similarity was between I. confusa Sealy and I. pseudacorus L. The metabolic profiling of the leaves confirmed genetic profiling discriminating I. confusa from the other two species. The primary metabolites of the underground parts showed clear discrimination between the three species. Conclusions This study represents the sole complete map for distinguishing the three Iris species on genetic and metabolic bases.

The development of new natural drugs for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) management has recently received significant attention. Iris confusa (I. confusa) was long used for the treatment of bacterial infections and gastritis. This study aimed at evaluating its effect on management of H. pylori infection and exploring its bioactive metabolites. The inhibitory potential of the polar (PF), non-polar (NPF) fractions and the isolated compounds against H. pylori using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay in addition to their cyclooxygenases (COX-1 and COX-2), and nitric oxide (NO) inhibitory activities were assessed. The most biologically active compound was tested for its selective H. pylori inosine-5′-monophosphate dehydrogenase (HpIMPDH) inhibitory potential. Chromatographic purification of PF and NPF allowed isolation of tectoridin, orientin, irigenin, tectorigenin, isoarborinol and stigmasterol. The PF exhibited significant anti-H. pylori (MIC 62.50 µg/mL), COX-1, COX-2 (IC50 of 112.08 ± 0.60 and 47.90 ± 1.50 µg/mL respectively, selectivity index SI of 2.34), and NO (IC50 47.80 ± 0.89 µg/mL) inhibitory activities, while irigenin was the most potent isolated compound. Irigenin was found to have a promising activity against HpIMPDH enzyme (IC50 of 2.07 ± 1.90 μM) with low activity against human hIMPDH2 (IC50 > 10 μM) than clarithromycin, assuring its selectivity. Overall, I. confusa and its isolated compounds may serve as a potential source of plant-based drugs for H. pylori control. This study scientifically validated the claimed anti-bacterial activity of I. confusa and revealed irigenin potential as a novel lead exhibiting anti H. pylori activity in a first record.
