Wild Crop Relatives: Genomic and Breeding Resources

Abstract

The genus Daucus is a member of the Apiaceae (Umbelliferae) family. Daucus species are usually herbaceous biennials, rarely annuals, growing from slender to very stout taproots. Because of the polyphyly of the genus described, the current classification system of Daucus is untenable. Additional data from both molecular and morphological markers are necessary before any workable classification system of Daucus is proposed. Wild Daucus species are currently conserved in both in situ and ex situ. Daucus carota is the most widespread species of the genus Daucus, presently appearing in temperate regions all over the world. Genetic diversity of D. carota and other Daucus have been investigated using morphological and molecular markers. Daucus species are rich in characteristic chemical compounds, including phenolics, terpenes, saponins, and fatty acids. Cytoplasmic male sterility, a system used to control pollination in the course of seed production of carrot F1 hybrid cultivars, was introduced to cultivated carrot from wild D. carota. Resistance to carrot fly found in Daucus capillifolius was transferred to cultivated carrot. A degree of gene flow between the cultivated and the wild D. carota have been reported, which could be the cause of genetic erosion. Potential threats to the wild Daucus caused by possible introduction of transgenic carrot cultivars are discussed. The need for thorough evaluation and valorization of Daucus genetic resources is urgent, as they can provide a basis for future developments in carrot breeding.
