BACKGROUND: Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is a member of the Solanaceae family. In spite of its widespread cultivation and nutritional and economic importance, its genome has not as yet been extensively investigated. Few analyses have been carried out to determine the genetic diversity of eggplant at the DNA level, and linkage relationships have not been well characterised. As for the other Sola...<br/><br/>Anikò Stàgel, Ezio Portis, Laura Toppino, Giuseppe Leonardo Rotino, Sergio Lanteri (2008) <i>BMC Genomics</i> <i></i> <i></i> 9: <br/>

BACKGROUND: Cynara cardunculus L. is an edible plant of pharmaceutical interest, in particular with respect to the polyphenolic content of its leaves. It includes three taxa: globe artichoke, cultivated cardoon, and wild cardoon. The dominating phenolics are the di-caffeoylquinic acids (such as cynarin), which are largely restricted to Cynara species, along with their precursor, chlorogenic acid (...<br/><br/>Cinzia Comino, Sergio Lanteri, Ezio Portis, Alberto Acquadro, Annalisa Romani, Alain Hehn, Romain Larbat, Frédéric Bourgaud (2007) <i>BMC Plant Biol</i> <i></i> <i></i> 7: <br/>

A high copy number of retrotransposon sequences are present and widely dispersed in plant genomes. Their activity generates a considerable degree of sequence polymorphism. Here, we report the cloning of CYRE-5, a long-terminal repeat carrying retrotransposon-like sequence in Cynara cardunculus L., and its exploitation to develop a DNA fingerprinting assay across 22 accessions, including both culti...<br/><br/>Alberto Acquadro, Ezio Portis, Andrea Moglia, Franco Magurno, Sergio Lanteri (2006) <i>Genome</i> <i></i> <i></i> 49: 9 1149-1159<br/>

We present the first genetic maps of globe artichoke (Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus L. 2n=2x=34), constructed with a two-way pseudo-testcross strategy. A F1 mapping population of 94 individuals was generated between a late-maturing, non-spiny type and an early-maturing spiny type. The 30 AFLP, 13 M-AFLP and 9 S-SAP primer combinations chosen identified, respectively, 352, 38 and 41 polymorphic ...<br/><br/>S Lanteri, A Acquadro, C Comino, R Mauro, G Mauromicale, E Portis (2006) <i>Theor Appl Genet</i> <i></i> <i></i> 112: 8 1532-1542<br/>

Cynara cardunculus L. is a species native to the Mediterranean basin that comprises 2 crops, globe artichoke (var. scolymus L.) and cultivated cardoon (var. altilis DC), as well as wild cardoon (var. sylvestris (Lamk) Fiori). Globe artichoke represents an important component of the South European agricultural economy but is also cultivated in North Africa, the Near East, South America, the United ...<br/><br/>Alberto Acquadro, Ezio Portis, David Lee, Paolo Donini, Sergio Lanteri (2005) <i>Genome</i> <i></i> <i></i> 48: 2 217-225<br/>

Globe artichoke ( Cynara cardunculus L. var. scolymus L.) is a diploid (2 n=2 x=34), predominantly cross-pollinated plant native to the Mediterranean basin, and Italy contains the richest primary cultivated 'gene pool'. Commercial production is mainly based on perennial cultivation of vegetatively propagated clones that are highly heterozygous and segregate widely when progeny-tested. Analysis of ...<br/><br/>S Lanteri, E Saba, M Cadinu, G M Mallica, L Baghino, E Portis (2004) <i>Theor Appl Genet</i> <i></i> <i></i> 108: 8 1534-1544<br/>
