“…Although garlic is propagated asexually, using the cloves from the previous growing season, there is a great diversity in morphological ( agronomic ) characters, even between genotypes grown in the same areas for a long time. This is probably mostly a consequence of the accumulation of natural mutations and their evolving over time due to the selection pressures and cultural data in the minds of local farmers [ 19 , 20 ].…”

Interest in local landraces has unfortunately decreased over, the last decades, in which they have been continuously subjected to a high genetic erosion in favour of new modern varieties. Within the Puglia region (S-E Italy), Foggia province was found to be the richest in vegetable landraces. In the present study, six garlic landraces collected from this area have been assessed for their chemical composition (minerals, organic acids, free sugars, volatile, and phenolic compounds) along with their main morpho-biometrical traits. A commercial genotype was also considered as a reference standard. The landraces show a large variability, but in general high morphological standards, high levels of cations and phenols, and low levels of volatile-(S)-compounds in comparison with the commercial genotype and the literature values. ‘Aglio di Peschici’ and ‘Aglio Rosso di Monteleone di Puglia’ are very rich in minerals and phenols (mainly ferulic acid and iso-rhamnetin). This increase in knowledge on the chemical properties of these garlic landraces could represent a tool for encouraging the consumption of a food product. At the same time, the consumption of these landraces would stimulate their cultivation and could highly contribute to protection against the risk of erosion of agro-biodiversity by their in situ/on-farm conservation.

“…The more profound differences were observed in average weight of cloves, where clove weight ranged from 2 (samples 3 and 14) to 15 g (sample 13), and number of cloves per bulb which ranged from 11 (sample 7) to 37 (samples 3 and 14). Fanaei et al [13] and Mohammadi et al [9] have also reported significant differences among Iranian garlic varieties and landraces in bulb yield, bulb weight, number of cloves per bulb and clove weight, while Jabbes et al [14] and Singh et al [11] have detected a great diversity in agro-morphological traits of various Tunisian and Indian garlic landraces and accessions, respectively. Dry matter and total soluble solids content ranged from as low as 31.67% (sample 9) and 31.8% (sample 10) respectively, to 42.64% (sample 11) and 40.4% (sample 12) respectively, with significant differences being observed not only between the various areas but also between genotypes of the same area.…”

“…Despite the fact that garlic is propagated asexually with cloves in many areas of the world by farmers who use their own cloves from the previous growing season, there is also a great diversity in morphological and agronomic characters, mostly due to the existence of various ecotypes that are cultivated in the same areas for a long time and the consequent accumulation of natural mutations [8,9]. Gonzalez et al [10] have detected significant variability in terms of organosulfur compounds, pungency, total soluble solids and antiplatelet activity, not only between garlic clones belonging in different ecophysiological groups, but also between clones of the same group.…”

“…Gonzalez et al [10] have detected significant variability in terms of organosulfur compounds, pungency, total soluble solids and antiplatelet activity, not only between garlic clones belonging in different ecophysiological groups, but also between clones of the same group. According to Mohammadi et al [9], there was a relationship between geographical origin and genetic diversity for various Iranian garlic landraces, whereas differences in germplasm were mostly due to genotype and transfer of plant material between the various growing areas. Moreover, Singh et al [11] analyzed the morphological variability of 47 Indian garlic collections and they suggested the existence of only two major phylogenetic groups, which could be attributed to the vegetative nature of propagation.…”

Nutritional Value, Chemical Characterization and Bulb Morphology of Greek Garlic Landraces

et al. 2018

Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is an important vegetable crop throughout the world. In Greece there are many areas which have specialized in garlic cultivation through the last decades, considered the main production areas. However, despite the significance of garlic as a food product and the high annual income of this crop, there is a decreasing trend in total cultivated area in Greece, and the local landraces are gradually neglected in favor of new imported genotypes. In the present study, garlic genotypes (local landraces/varieties, imported genotypes, commercial cultivars) from the main production regions of Greece were assessed for their chemical composition and quality (total soluble solids, dry matter content, nutritional value, mineral composition, organic acids, fatty acids content and free sugars content), and bulb morphology. The results of the present study showed significant diversity in quality features and bulb morphology, not only between the genotypes from different growing regions, but also between those of the same region. This result is interesting since it could be implemented for further improvement and valorization of this important vegetable crop through extensive breeding programs within the framework of sustainability and genetic, material conservation.

“…They can measure up to 40 cm cm wide [19]. The limbs are broad and streamlined and the bases of all the leaves The bulb (or head) is characterized by a great diversity of shape and color [24][25][26]. It can be et, light violet or dark violet while the observed shapes can be rounded, elliptical or circular, transverse wide elliptical and transverse narrow elliptical [4,27].…”

Garlic belongs to the Allium genus, which includes more than 750 species divided into more than 60 taxonomic groups. It is cultivated in many countries throughout the world for the bulb and used as a spice and functional food. The plant vegetatively propagates. This review will focus on origins, biology, analysis of genetic diversity, pharmacological properties of garlic. It appears from this synthesis that the Allium sativum species is derived from Allium longicuspis and is native to Central Asia. Studies on the analysis of genetic diversity through morphological markers revealed a wide variation in the color, shape and number of cloves and the ability to flower. Biochemical markers such as Esterase (EST), Phosphoglucomutase (PGI), Malate Deshydrogenase (MDH), and Diaphorase (DIA as well as molecular markers such as Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD), restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP), and Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRS) Inter-Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) were successfully used. RFLPs or RAPD are the most used for assessing genetic variability within asexually reproducing garlic species. Work using SSRs markers is limited in garlic relative to other crops.
