Rationale

Biochemical and molecular studies suggest that the highest level of heterogeneity prevails within the Central Asian cultivar group (Hong, 1999; Maaβ & Klaas, 1993; Pooler &

Simon, 1995), which could serve as the most important source for garlic genetic variation and improvement (Etoh & Simon, 2002; Kamenetsky

et al., 2003a; 2003b).

Recent studies indicate that garlic species complex consists of five groups (Fritsch and Friesen, 2002):

•Sativum

•Longicuspis

•Ophioscorodon

•Subtropical

•Pekinense

Missions to Central Asia in 2000 and 2001, collected 241 accessions, including wild populations and land-races.

Garlic clones vary in most vegetative characteristics (leaf number, bulb size and structure), as well as in floral scape elongation and inflorescence development.

Page 16: Establishment and evaluation of garlic collection from Central Asia for fertility potential and organo-S compounds EU project “Garlic and Health” - Work.

Garlic clones are classified according to their ability to bolt:

1. Complete bolting: long stalk with many flowers and topsets

2. Incomplete bolting: thin short stalk with a few large topsets

3. Nonbolting: producing only cloves inside incomplete scape

(Takagi, 1990)

Missions to Central Asia in 200 and 2001, resulted in a collection of 241 accessions, including wild populations and land-races.

Garlic clones vary in most vegetative characteristics (leaf number, bulb size and structure), as well as in floral scape elongation and inflorescence development.

Genetic fingerprinting by means of AFLP markers revealed three distinct groups within this collection, differing in flowering ability and organo-S content (Chris Kik and co-workers)

Based on AFLP fingerprinting and one enzyme primer combination, the collection was subdivided into three distinct groups: Sativum, Longicuspis A and B.

The groups differed considerably in AFLP variation: The variation within the Sativum group was significantly low compared to that in the Longicuspis groups.

Phenotypic variability

• Garlic clones vary in most vegetative characteristics (leaf number, bulb size and structure), as well as in floral scape elongation and inflorescence development. Clear distinction was made between semi-bolting and bolting accessions. Most of the latter accessions produced flowers with fertile pollen and receptive stigma.

A clear distinction was made between incomplete bolting and bolting populations;

Wide variations were recorded with regard to differentiation of topsets, their size, number and rapidity of development.

Significant variation in organo-S compounds (alliin, isoalliin, allicin and related dipeptides) was found within garlic collections and between plants grown under differing environmental conditions.

Principal Component Analysis based on the variation of five organo-S compounds for 15 garlic accessions. Bulbs were collected in Central Asia in 2000 and grown in Holland in 2001/2002. Measurements were made in September, on mature, freshly harvested bulbs of the Sativum (S), and Longicuspis A (L/A) and Longicuspis B (L/B) subgoups.
