   Jan 28, 2019 · We demonstrate that saffron (C. sativus) is an autotriploid species originating from C. cartwrightianus cytotypes. The saffron crocus C. sativus and wild C. cartwrightianus have been used as a source of spice, dye and colorant for > 3500 yr (Fernández, 2004; Grilli Caiola & Canini, 2010). However, breeding and genetic improvement of the ...

   By comparative FISH of six Crocus species from 11 accessions, we demonstrate that C. sativus is an autotriploid hybrid derived from heterogeneous Crocus cartwrightianus cytotypes. The FISH reference karyotype of saffron is crucial for integrating genome sequencing data with chromosomes and for investigating the relationship among Crocus species.

   Jul 1, 2019 · The overall similarity between C. sativus and C. cartwrightianus was sometimes the reason to assume that C. cartwrightianus, also called wild saffron, is the progenitor of the crop (Mathew, 1999, Negbi and Negbi, 2002, Jacobsen and Ørgaard, 2004). However, there are other similar species and molecular data were inconsistent regarding the ...

   Key words: Crocus cartwrightianus, Crocus sativus, fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), polyploidy, saffron crocus, satellite DNA, triploidy. Summary Saffron crocus (Crocus sativus) is the source of the most expensive spice of the world, pro-duced from manually harvested stigmas, thus serving as a cash crop for rural communities.

   Jan 28, 2019 · Crocus sativus, known as saffron, belongs to the subgenus Crocus and derives by hybridization events of C. cartwrightianus cytotypes (Schmidt et al., 2019). Saffron is known world-wide for its red ...

   Is saffron crocus related to Crocus cartwrightianus?

   • In a recent study inferring phylogenetic relationships of the species of Crocus series Crocus, that is the taxonomic group to which C. sativus belongs, we found that C. cartwrightianus is the closest relative of the saffron crocus and hypothesized that no other species might have contributed to the formation of the triploid ( Nemati et al., 2018 ).

   Is saffron a shorter allele than cartwrightianus?

   • The shorter allele (119 bp) occurs only in Attica, one population from Kea and in C. sativus, while all other populations of C. cartwrightianus possess the longer allele (203 bp). To further compare the chloroplast sequences of saffron and Attic C. cartwrightianus, the chloroplast genome of a C. sativus individual was assembled.

   • Still, the sole occurrence of the deletion in the trn S– trn G region in the chloroplast genome in Attic and Kean C. cartwrightianus individuals clearly places the maternal parent of the saffron crocus in this area of Greece and, thus, is in accord with the GBS data. 3.3.

   Nov 19, 2022 · Saffron wild allies are diploid and produce fertile seeds which are easy to breed. One of the ancestors of saffron is very likely the diploid Crocus cartwrightianus (2n = 2x = 16) native to Greece (Aegean islands), while its triploid mutant “C. sativus” was selected and domesticated (Fernández 2004; Nemati et al. 2019).
