Wild Crop Relatives: Genomic and Breeding Resources

Abstract

The genus Lilium consists of around 100 species and is distributed in the northern hemisphere. It is subdivided into seven sections: Martagon, Pseudolirium, Lilium, Archelirion, Sinomartagon, Leucolirion, and Oxypetalum. The most important wild species are described with their main characteristics. The role of these species in the breeding of lilies as ornamental plant is presented in a crossing polygon. For the production of interspecific lily hybrids, a number of crossing barriers had to be overcome. As such lily is a model crop for overcoming crossing barriers and a range of techniques are available, e.g., (1) pollination methods to overcome inhibition of pollen tubes in the style; (2) embryo rescue methods to prevent embryo abortion; and (3) polyploidization methods to overcome F1 sterility and to induce the genetic variation. Simultaneously, genomic in situ hybridization methods to follow introgression of characters during the breeding process and molecular marker techniques in order to speed up molecular marker-assisted breeding have been developed. The species of the genus Lilium have the largest genomes in plant kingdom with a haploid DNA content (1C) ranging from 32.75 to 47.90 pg, which makes it a difficult crop for molecular marker techniques. With new molecular techniques, more molecular markers data will be available for lily to construct a detailed genetic linkage map, an essential tool for crop improvement.
