“…Table (1) showed that the genotype "Gewone Dai 3 Rial 10" produced the highest yield of fresh leaves (as a total of three cuttings) in the two successive seasons (30.4 and 31.4 ton/fed) followed by Moskrul 2 Petra (21.4 and 20.1 ton/fed). While, Bravour (15.7 and 15.0 ton/fed) and Moskrul 2 KRA USA (14.9…”

“…Because of their well-documented health benefits, the usage of these plants is very widespread in everyday diet. Apiaceae is a very essential source of phytoconstituents (phenolic compounds, polyacetylenes, terpenoids,…etc) with various pharmacological activities [1]. One of these plants is parsley (Petroselinum crispum Mill.).…”

“…This is the case of Smyrnium olusatrum (commonly known as Alexanders), whose flavor is intermediate between celery and parsley and was greatly appreciated by Roman and medieval cuisines but has been progressively replaced by celery [ 9 ]. For a comprehensive review of the nutraceutical properties of the main Apiaceae species, see [ 22 ]. Some Apiaceae find application in the beverage industry, where they are used mainly as flavoring (e.g., Pimpinella anisum and Angelica archangelica , respectively employed for the preparation of Greek ouzo and Italian vermouth).…”

The Apiaceae taxon is one of the most important families of flowering plants and includes thousands of species used for food, flavoring, fragrance, medical and industrial purposes. This study had the specific intent of reviewing the main genomics and transcriptomic data available for this family and their use for the constitution of new varieties. This was achieved starting from the description of the main reproductive systems and barriers, with particular reference to cytoplasmic (CMS) and nuclear (NMS) male sterility. We found that CMS and NMS systems have been discovered and successfully exploited for the development of varieties only in Foeniculum vulgare, Daucus carota, Apium graveolens and Pastinaca sativa; whereas, strategies to limit self-pollination have been poorly considered. Since the constitution of new varieties benefits from the synergistic use of marker-assisted breeding in combination with conventional breeding schemes, we also analyzed and discussed the available SNP and SSR marker datasets (20 species) and genomes (8 species). Furthermore, the RNA-seq studies aimed at elucidating key pathways in stress tolerance or biosynthesis of the metabolites of interest were limited and proportional to the economic weight of each species. Finally, by aligning 53 plastid genomes from as many species as possible, we demonstrated the precision offered by the super barcoding approach to reconstruct the phylogenetic relationships of Apiaceae species. Overall, despite the impressive size of this family, we documented an evident lack of molecular data, especially because genomic and transcriptomic resources are circumscribed to a small number of species. We believe that our contribution can help future studies aimed at developing molecular tools for boosting breeding programs in crop plants of the Apiaceae family.

“…Moreover, EOs exhibit anti-inflammatory effects, thus supporting lesion healing and alleviating symptoms related to dermatophytosis [14,15]. Apiaceae (Umbelliferae) family comprises 446 genera of 3540 herbaceous species distributed worldwide, many of them used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries [25,26]. A characteristic feature of Apiaceae members is the presence of volatile compounds which are found both in aerial parts and the underground systems of plants [27].…”

Dermatophyte infections represent an important public health concern, affecting up to 25% of the world’s population. Trichophyton rubrum and T. mentagrophytes are the predominant dermatophytes in cutaneous infections, with a prevalence accounting for 70% of dermatophytoses. Although terbinafine represents the preferred treatment, its clinical use is hampered by side effects, drug–drug interactions, and the emergence of resistant clinical isolates. Combination therapy, associating terbinafine and essential oils (EOs), represents a promising strategy in the treatment of dermatophytosis. In this study, we screened the potential of selected Apiaceae EOs (ajowan, coriander, caraway, and anise) to improve the antifungal activity of terbinafine against T. rubrum ATCC 28188 and T. mentagrophytes ATCC 9533. The chemical profile of EOs was analyzed by gas chromatography. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal fungicidal concentration (MFC) of EOs/main compounds were determined according to EUCAST-AFST guidelines, with minor modifications. The checkerboard microtiter method was used to identify putative synergistic combinations of EOs/main constituents with terbinafine. The influence of EOs on the viability and pro-inflammatory cytokine production (IL-1β, IL-8 and TNF-α) was determined using an ex vivo human neutrophils model. The binary associations of tested EOs with terbinafine were found to be synergistic against T. rubrum, with FICI values of 0.26–0.31. At the tested concentrations (6.25–25 mg/L), EOs did not exert cytotoxic effects towards human neutrophils. Anise EO was the most potent inhibitor of IL-1β release (46.49% inhibition at 25 mg/L), while coriander EO displayed the highest inhibition towards IL-8 and TNF-α production (54.15% and 54.91%, respectively). In conclusion, the synergistic combinations of terbinafine and investigated Apiaceae EOs could be a starting point in the development of novel topical therapies against T. rubrum-related dermatophytosis.
