The decline of local genetic resources like Pastinocello (Daucus carota L. ssp. major, Apiaceae family), mainly due to anthropogenic factors, is at the core of the loss of local biodiversity, which threatens the resilience of the environmental niches to the pedo-climatic changes occurring at an everincreasing rate. The aim of this study was the re-evaluation of Pastinocello carrot, whose characteristics are believed to be still intact since its first human-driven selection, occurred during the Roman Empire Era. Three Pastinocello landraces (landrace L24, from ex-situ cultivation in Rispescia, Grosseto, Italy; landraces L281 and L305, from in-situ cultivation at Cardoso di Stazzema, Lucca, Italy) have been evaluated for i) bio-agronomic characteristics, ii) inflorescence production and essential oils (EOs) yield, iii) EO composition, and iv) EOs antifungal activity vs phytopathogenic and beneficial isolates.

Abstract

The decline of local genetic resources like Pastinocello (Daucus carota L. ssp. major, Apiaceae family), mainly due to anthropogenic factors, is at the core of the loss of local biodiversity, which threatens the resilience of the environmental niches to the pedo-climatic changes occurring at an everincreasing rate. The aim of this study was the re-evaluation of Pastinocello carrot, whose characteristics are believed to be still intact since its first human-driven selection, occurred during the Roman Empire Era. Three Pastinocello landraces (landrace L24, from ex-situ cultivation in Rispescia, Grosseto, Italy; landraces L281 and L305, from in-situ cultivation at Cardoso di Stazzema, Lucca, Italy) have been evaluated for i) bio-agronomic characteristics, ii) inflorescence production and essential oils (EOs) yield, iii) EO composition, and iv) EOs antifungal activity vs phytopathogenic and beneficial isolates.
