Characterization and Valorization of Maize Landraces from Aosta Valley

Alessandra Lezzi,
Lorenzo Stagnati,
Francesca Madormo
et al.

Abstract: While there is a rich collection of maize germplasm from Italy, it lacks genetic resources from the Aosta Valley, an isolated mountain region where landraces have been preserved in the absence of modern germplasm introductions. These local materials, which are still cultivated mainly at household level, can have high importance from a genetic and historical point of view. In the present study, five landraces named, after the collecting sites, Arnad, Arnad-Crest, Châtillon, Entrebin and Perloz, were sampled in … Show more

“…Examining populations, the number of alleles varied from 30 for Va227 to 54 for both Va222 and Va223, with a mean value of 41.54 alleles. The numbers of different alleles detected in these accessions are similar to those detected in different Emilia-Romagna maize accessions previously analyzed [28,29] and in other studies conducted worldwide [11,19,20,30]. Most loci were polymorphic for all populations, except for umc1401, umc1786, and phi076 in Va226, Va227, and Va228, respectively.…”

“…The N a values recorded in this work were higher, considering other accessions from the same region previously examined by Stagnati et al [28,29], confirming the presence of good genetic diversity in the collection. The Shannon information index (I), used to characterize population diversity, had a mean value of 0.93 over all loci and populations, consistent with previous works [9,27,29,30]. The mean value of PIC over all loci was 0.54, with a minimum of 0.41 (phi084) and a maximum of 0.71 (umc1075), providing an estimation of the ability of each locus to discriminate among different genotypes [9].…”
