- W778973852 abstract "The authors analyze the archeological, historical, botanical, cytological, geographic, molecular and reproductive biology of saffron and allied species in order to establish its site and parent origin. The authors have studied saffron, Crocus sativus and the diploid species C. cartwrightianus, C. thomasii, C. hadriaticus and compared them with what was previously known from the literature. When saffron originated is still open to dispute. It has been widely known since the pre-Hellenic and Hellenic periods, but it is impossible to detect if was C. sativus or other Crocus species such as C. cartwrightianus. Concerning the site origin the research indicates two possible sites: one in Greece in the Mediterranean area, the other at East in Turkey-Iran-India. In both areas, records and place names connected with various species of Crocus constitute an important information source for the presence of saffron. Cytological, DNA, and reproductive studies on the allied species of C. sativus such as C. cartwrightianus, C. thomasii, C. hadriaticus, indicate a more likely parent of saffron may be C. cartwrightianus or C. thomasii. Both these species are diploid with a karyotype similar to saffron. In addition, their pollen can fertilize the egg cell of saffron, giving rise to seeds which are viable, germinate and form new corms. Thus, saffron can originate through fertilization of a normal reduced egg cell with an unreduced male gamete of the same Crocus species or by crossing between an egg cell and the male unreduced gamete of another species. The origin of Saffron by allopolyploidy seems more probable considering the recent data on its karyotype and molecular biology." @default.
