Morphological and molecular characterization of underutilized medicinal wild ginger (Zingiber barbatum Wall.) from Myanmar

Zingiber barbatum Wall. (family Zingiberaceae), is an underutilized medicinal plant and commonly known as 'Meik tha-lin' in Myanmar where it is used in the indigenous system of medicine. In the present study, 19 accessions of Z. barbatum from five provinces in Myanmar have been utilized to characterize and assess genetic diversity. Twenty-nine morphological characters were noted, including growth habit, leaf, pseudo-stem and rhizome characters. Fifteen primer sets of P450-based analogue (PBA) markers were used to reveal molecular characteristics. Of the 29 morphological characters, 22 showed a high degree of variation within wild ginger accessions, whereas 20 of these characters contributed significantly to morphological variation. Eleven amplified primer sets gave a total of 175 bands and exhibited 92.15% polymorphism across Z. barbatum accessions. Based on morphological characters and PBA markers, 19 accessions can be divided into two morphotype groups with comparatively higher genetic diversity. This information can be applied in future crop improvement, proper conservation and better use of this underutilized medicinal species.

“…Morphological characters, together with physiological, phenological and agronomic descriptors, are the starting point of the characterisation work (Ayres Carvalho & Quesenberry, 2009; Diederichsen, 2009; Gonçalves et al , 2009; Hend et al , 2009; Karimi et al , 2009; Nieto‐Ángel et al , 2009; Szamosi et al , 2009; Vieira et al , 2009).…”

KeywordsIpomoea batatas; morphological descriptors; skin and flesh colour; sweetpotato. Correspondence M.M. Manifesto, Instituto de Recursos Biológicos CIRN-INTA-Argentina, N Repetto y Los Reseros s/n., AbstractThe knowledge about the distribution of descriptors of a collection constitutes a useful tool for the management of genetic resources. The object of this work was to evaluate the composition and morphological characterisation of the 'in vitro' collection kept at the Gene Bank of the Biological Resources Institute (IRB), INTA Castelar, Argentina, to establish conservation criteria and make available useful data for breeding programmes. This collection, comprising 310 sweetpotato clones, includes landraces, worldwide clones, commercial varieties and breeding material. The descriptors, which presented the highest correlation values, were leaf lobe types, the shape of central leaf lobes and general leaf outline. Cluster analyses showed eight major groups with an average similarity of 0.42 (SE ± 0.005). About 76% of the clones presented unique morphology, whereas 34% of them were distributed in 22 groups that could not be distinguished with this technique. Worldwide germplasm formed a separate group with values of diversity higher than those of the Argentinean clones and no duplicates. A projection of the phenotypic variation among cultivars was obtained through Principal Coordinate Analysis (PCoorA), which confirmed the results obtained by UPGMA analysis, predominant skin colour, secondary skin colour, number of leaf lobes, general leaf outline, petiole pigmentation and predominant colour of vine were the variables that made the highest contribution. Collection composition in reference to flesh and skin colour was also analysed.

“…Morphological and genetic characterization of Hungarian and Turkish accessions of watermelon (including C. lanatus and C. colocynthis) revealed that germplasm resources present a wide range of diversity (Sari et al, 2005;Solmaz and Sari, 2009;Solmaz et al, 2010). However, accessions of the two countries show many similarities and therefore cannot be separated clearly (Szamosi et al, 2009). In the present study, comparison of the four groups using a MANOVA combined with factorial discriminant analysis, allowed the classification of accessions according to agromorphological characters.…”

A hundred and seventy-one oleaginous watermelon accessions either collected from different countries or obtained from gene banks were evaluated and compared based on 11 quantitative morphological traits. Principal component analysis on 11 traits revealed 81.19% of the total variability and pointed out variations among accessions, mainly on the basis of fruit size and weight. The dendrogram and factorial discriminant analysis clustered the accessions in four groups. The multivariate analysis of variance showed a significant difference between the four groups and accessions of the group 2 had higher agronomic performances. The confusion matrix gave the details about accessions assignment and pointed out that breeders must have recourse to several multivariate analyses to have better agromorphological classification of accessions. The traits related to fruit size and weight were the most accession distinctive. Consequently, fruit morphological traits could be used for accession identification during collecting missions.
