Summary: By constructing DNA fingerprints and analyzing the genetic structure of 259 melon varieties, it was found that Chinese melon varieties can be classified into five subgroups. The ssp. agrestis subgroup has a narrow genetic background and requires increased gene exchange with the ssp. melo subgroup. Core sets of markers were selected for efficient application in variety identification, monitoring, and intellectual property rights protection.

Summary: The genetic diversity of Cambodian melons was assessed using RAPD and SSR markers, and compared with melons from other regions. The results showed that Cambodian melons had similar gene diversity to Conomon and Makuwa, and were genetically similar to melons from Thailand, Myanmar, Yunnan (China), and Vietnam. Additionally, there were two distinct groups of melons in Southeast Asia, indicating that Cambodian melons are not directly related to Conomon and Makuwa.

Summary: This study evaluated the genetic diversity and structure of 24 A. chinensis populations and found high levels of genetic diversity in the polyploid populations. The study also revealed distinct eastern and western genetic clusters. Ecological niche modeling predicted a gradual loss of potentially suitable areas for tetraploids and increasing habitat fragmentation in the future.

Summary: This study investigated the genetic diversity and structure of cultivated and wild lablab (Lablab purpureus) accessions using SSR markers. The gene diversity was relatively low overall, with greater diversity in the wild accessions compared to cultivated accessions. The results indicated that South Africa is the center of origin and East Africa is the center of domestication of lablab. The cluster analyses and haplotype network analysis revealed different domestication routes for the different varieties of lablab.

Summary: This study assessed the genetic diversity of Andrographis paniculata using multiple datasets and developed EST-SSR markers for this species. The analysis revealed variations in agro-morphological, phytochemical, and genotypic traits. The joint analysis of these traits identified two genetic groups, which can be valuable for selective breeding programs. Overall, this study provided important information about the genetic diversity and variation in economic traits of A. paniculata.

Summary: Sanguisorba, commonly known as burnet, is a plant genus in the Rosaceae family native to temperate regions of the Northern hemisphere, with five species in Korea. Despite being a medicinal remedy in Chinese and Korean Herbal Pharmacopeias, there is still uncertainty about the morphological, genomic, and genetic characteristics of Sanguisorba. The comprehensive study revealed diagnostic values in floral micromorphology, palynology, and complete chloroplast genome analysis, leading to the development of new DNA barcodes for species identification. This study provides valuable information for future research on S. officinalis, positioning it as an important medicinal resource.
