Abstract
Need: An impressive work of recovery and valorization of different vegetables and accessions was done in the project "Biodiversity of horticultural species of Puglia" (BiodiverSO, https://karpos.biodiversitapuglia.it/) constituting a possible starting point in promoting marginal areas economic and social develop. Tomato is one of the most represented species and Pomodoro di Manduria, in the regional register of Apulian varieties and intended for both fresh consumption and processed products, is suitable for arid-cultivation, resulting as an opportunity in enhancing territories characterized by long period of low rainfall. Pomodoro di Manduria populations, donated by different farmers and maintained at the genebank of the Department of Soil, Plant and Food Sciences of the University of Bari, were characterized and valorized. How: Molecular fingerprinting was generated by using SNP chip 51K tomato Axiom array. Physico-chemical data of tomato sauces were measured for the three biological replicates independently. Brix degrees were determined using a refractometer, whereas several nutritional parameters were assessed in collaboration with the Italian National Research Council and the University of Salento. The phytosanitary profiling of seeds, in field and postharvest was ascertained by biological and molecular approaches and integrated by face-to-face interview with farmers. In-situ, ex-situ and Agritech-labs were the research work-spaces.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
