Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) is an ecologically and economically important species. Here, we assessed the diversity of 78 accessions cultivated in northern China using 8 agronomic characteristics, oil traits (including oil content and fatty acid composition) in seeds and fruit pulp, and SSR markers at 23 loci. The 78 accessions included 52 from ssp. mongolica, 6 from ssp. sinensis, and 20 hybrids. To assess the phenotypic diversity of these accessions, 8 agronomic fruit traits were recorded and analyzed using principal component analysis (PCA). The first two PCs accounted for approximately 78% of the variation among accessions. The oil contents were higher in pulp (3.46-38.56%) than in seeds (3.88-8.82%), especially in ssp. mongolica accessions. The polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) ratio was slightly lower in the seed oil of hybrids (76.06%) than that of in ssp. mongolica (77.66%) and higher than that of in ssp. sinensis (72.22%). The monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) ratio in the pulp oil of ssp. sinensis (57.00%) was highest, and that in ssp. mongolica (51.00%) was equal to the ratio in the hybrids (51.20%). Using canonical correspondence analysis (CCA), we examined the correlation between agronomic traits and oil characteristics in pulp and seeds. Oil traits in pulp from different origins were correlated with morphological groupings (r = 0.8725, p = 0.0000). To assess the genotypic diversity, 23 SSR markers (including 17 loci previously reported) were used among the 78 accessions with 59 polymorphic amplified fragments obtained and an average PIC value of 0.2845. All accessions were classified into two groups based on the UPGMA method. The accessions of ssp. sinensis and ssp. mongolica were genetically distant. The hybrid accessions were close to ssp. mongolica accessions. The 8 agronomic traits, oil characteristics in seed and pulp oils, and 23 SSR markers successfully distinguished the 78 accessions. These results will be valuable for cultivar identification and genetic diversity analysis in cultivated sea buckthorn.

“…The path coefficient analysis was used to evaluate the contribution of the morphological characteristics to herbage yield, using the method described by Dewey and Lu (1959). PCA was performed to investigate the relationships between the populations (Goodarzi et al, 2018). The grey relational analysis was used to evaluate the herbage yield and quality integratedly, using the method described by Nan et al (2019) and Deng (2010).…”

“…The effective screening and multidirectional evaluation of M. chinensis genetic resources can help plant breeders to select valuable genotypes for further breeding projects (Nan et al, 2019). The morphological characterization of plant materials with the desired traits is essential to the effective use of crop germplasm (Santos et al, 2012), and can help breeders to select the most suitable genotypes for breeding programs (Goodarzi et al, 2018). A previous research showed that some morphological characteristics of M. chinensis were related to yield in different cultivation environments (Huang et al, 2012).…”

Mesona chinensis Benth. is a herbal plant with both edible and medicinal values. Thirty-four populations of M. chinensis in southern China were examined to quantify their morphological and phytochemical characteristics. The results showed that the populations differed significantly (p < 0.01) in each of the morphological and phytochemical characteristics. The morphological characteristics showed wide variation among populations, with CV values ranging from 15.76% to 54.18%. The herbage yield was mainly positively correlated with a number of stem traits. The cluster analysis showed that the populations belong to two major groups. Both total phenolic (TPh) contents and total flavonoid (TF) contents respectively ranged from 5.49 to 18.44 and 5.06 to 11.47 mg.g −1 among populations. Antioxidant activity, evaluated by means of ABTS (2, 2-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) and DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) assays, ranged from 63.91 to 223.41 and 30.35 to 137.84 mmol Trolox equivalents.g −1 , respectively, among populations. Significant positive correlations were found between antioxidant activity and TF contents, TPh contents, and total polysaccharide (TP) contents. Most of the 34 populations were rich in polysaccharides, while GD-6, GD-12, GD-3, GD-8, JX-6, and FJ-1 had the highest TP content in turn. Based on comprehensive grey correlation analysis, GD-1, GD-2, GD-8, FJ-6, FJ-3, FJ-2, JX-6, GD-7, JX-3, and JX-2 were the best performers for production and quality of M. chinensis in southern China.

“…In another study, the berry length varied from 9.75 to 7.12 mm, and the berry width was in the range 4.34-2.65 mm (Ahmed et al 2013). Goodarzi et al (2018) also investigated on the barberry genotypes in Khorasan-e-Jonoobi and reported that the berry length and berry width were in the range of 7.4-10.84 and 4.39-8.05 mm, respectively, which was more than the means of the berry length and berry width in this research. Ornamental genotypes had the least berry dimensions.…”

One of the methods for breeding of fruit trees is the identification and selection of superior genotypes in different regions. Owing to climate changes in the recent years and the urgent need to changing the pattern of cultivation, it is essential to use adapted species to climatic conditions. Barberry is one of the plants that have been naturally grown in some areas of Isfahan province. For accessing the promising genotypes of barberry in Isfahan province, this research was carried out in the main areas of barberry growing. For this purpose, some physiological and pomological traits of about 100 barberry genotypes from different regions of Isfahan province were evaluated according to Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants descriptor. Evaluated traits were recorded in each year in four stages, including the physiological dormancy of the tree, the flowering, the vegetative growth of the tree as well as the ripening and harvesting time of berry stages from 2014 to 2016. According to the results, seven genotypes were selected, including Dolat Abad, Semirom, Dehaghan, Red leaf, and Evergreen genotypes as well as two wild genotypes. The results showed that the berry length ranged from 1.06 to 9 mm and the berry width ranged from 0.4 to 5.2 mm. The dried barberry per kilogram of fresh berries was between 200 and 700 g. The leaf length and leaf width of the studied genotypes were in the range 26–81 and 9–26 mm, respectively. The thorn length varied between 9 and 91 mm. The seed length and seed width were recorded in the range 0–4.5 and 0–2.6 mm, respectively. Dolat Abad and Dehaghan genotypes had the highest berry length and berry width, respectively. The most dried barberry per kilogram of fresh berries belonged to these two genotypes. Evergreen and Red leaf genotypes had the highest leaf length and leaf width, respectively. The highest seed length and seed width were observed in two wild genotypes of collected barberry. The results of correlation analysis of traits showed that tree growth vigor had a significant positive relationship with berry size, thorn length, seed length, and seed width. Berry firmness had negative correlation with berry length and berry width. On the basis of cluster analysis, genotypes were placed in three groups, so that genotypes from Dolat Abad, Semirom, and Dehaghan regions were placed in a same group. Red leaf and Evergreen genotypes with ornamental application were in another group, and two wild genotypes were also placed in the third group. Eventually, Dolat Abad, Semirom, and Dehaghan genotypes were introduced as the promising genotypes because of seedless berry with the highest berry length and berry width and the most dried barberry per kilogram of fresh berries.
