Foreword Just a few years ago, for me the service tree was one of the few indigenous fruit trees whose importance had been declining. With the co-author of this publication – Zdeněk Špíšek, who asked me to supervise his dissertation work dedicated to this interesting tree, I have discovered the value of this unique tree. The nutritional composition and delicate taste of sorb apples can make them an important dietary supplement. Legends about the medicinal effects of service trees in folk medicine handed down for NOcenturies have now been explained by the presence of active substances and indirectly by their utilisation in alternative medicine. The tree itself is a phenomenon. Not only does it provide highly acclaimed wood, but it is also an important landscape feature of south-eastern Moravia that constitutes a substantial part of the local landscape character. The basic aim of this book is to introduce the service tree and its significance from different perspectives. The target audience of this publication is the general public, which is why it is quite practical. Advice on planting and processing of fruit and wood guides us as the Ariadne’s thread. We read about the context of service-tree planting in history and see it as an object of scientific research, forPRINT instance in the area of genetics or biotechnology. Examples of regional oral traditions, revealing the importance of this species for our ancestors, are interesting as well. However, the main benefit is the number of practical advice on how to grow and take care of service trees, how to harvest their fruit and prepare traditional products from them. I wish this publication helped the readers to discover the importance of this valuable tree, same as the authors helped me to discover the “mysterious service-tree universe”. The book makes me want to plant yet another service tree. I believe that it makes the readers feel the same, thus helping to reintroduce service trees to south-eastern Moravia, and not only there. Dr. Radim J. Vašut Department of Botany Faculty of Science Palacký University in Olomouc Olomouc, 4 April 2014 NO A still-life in the manneristic rendering by painter Giovanna Garzoni from the year 1640, depicting probably the old service-tree variety Parrocchiane that grows in southern Italy. PRINT 8 Foreword Dear readers, old trees have been disappearing all across Europe recently, especially the fruit ones. The old is being replaced with new, modern and exciting. The importance of old species and varieties of fruit have often been forgotten, and therefore it needs to be reminded to avoid the disappearance of their unique characteristics and beauty. Old fruit trees have been neglected in NOour region and sometimes even systematically destroyed. Their fruit is considered a rather unpleasant waste. Trees in rural landscapes – often their regional varieties – are important not only for pomology, but they also play an important role as border points, anti-erosion features, landmarks in the landscape and as family trees that link the lives of individuals and families with the landscape. Old trees create also a unique habitat for many other organisms and they are valuable biological and ecological landscape elements. Nevertheless, there are still areas in our country where people have kept their natural relationshipPRINT with trees and nature. One such example is the Moravian Slovakia region near the Czech-Slovak border. Thanks to its continuous agricultural tradition, old varieties of apples, pears, plums and rarer species, such as mulberry, medlar, quince, dogwood and service tree have been preserved in local landscape. And for its uniqueness, the service tree has become a symbolic tree of the Moravian Slovakia region and is experiencing its renaissance. This book draws on the publication “Service Tree from A to Z” (Hrdoušek et al., 2003) and its aim is to acquaint the public with this unique European tree – the service tree (Sorbus domestica). The aim of this publication is to raise awareness of this nearly forgotten fruit tree and to make its landscaping, culinary, forestry and medical benefits available to the future generations of Europeans. Vít František Hrdoušek, 2014 To my father, who planted many trees. 9 About the service tree Eveline Moinet, 2009 France For centuries, the cormier tree has been a source of food, medicine and wood. The things that haven’t been forgotten have been passed down orally, but even this is being forgotten. The remaining trees constitute a valuable biological and cultural heritage. Our task now is to ensure the conservation of the service tree in our rural landscapes and to give it an honourable place in the context of NOtoday’s agriculture. Cristina Bignami, 2000, Italy Up until now, the presence of the sorbo trees at the foot of Vesuvius has been almost ignored. Neither is the service tree part of the national inventory of fruit trees genetic resources in Campania. Despite the efforts of the general public to restore the use of traditional fruit, the prospects of preserving service trees on the slopes of Vesuvius, as well as in the rest of Italy, are very small. The aging of the trees as well as the farmers who grow them is the reason why the possibility of their use is extinguishing. Another threat is the expansion of urban areas that gradually takePRINT up agricultural land in the countryside. Brütsch et Rotach, 1993, Switzerland There are many good reasons to protect “Speierling”. In addition to its value for the nature there are landscape/ecological and cultural/historical motives together with traditional economic interests that can save this tree species.

Biodiversity linked to fruit cultivation plays a key role in terms of the availability of quality products and nutraceutical compounds for the food industry. Thus underutilized species such as Sorbus domestica L. can be an important resource. The aim of this study was to evaluate 31 local accessions from different growing areas on the Island of Sicily and characterize the fruits according to the biometric-carpological features that constitute their qual- ity in order to understand the potential that this species may have not only regarding the recovery and preservation of genetic resources in the Mediterranean area but also the nutraceutical compounds it offers. The results from this preliminary study showed significant differences in quality between the considered accessions and suggested that these local varieties are a good source of total polyphenol compounds.

  • Genome-Wide Characterization of Simple Sequence Repeats in Pyrus
    Xue et al. BMC Genomics (2018) 19:473 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-018-4822-7 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Genome-wide characterization of simple sequence repeats in Pyrus bretschneideri and their application in an analysis of genetic diversity in pear Huabai Xue1,2†, Pujuan Zhang1†, Ting Shi1, Jian Yang2, Long Wang2, Suke Wang2, Yanli Su2, Huirong Zhang2, Yushan Qiao1* and Xiugen Li2* Abstract Background: Pear (Pyrus spp.) is an economically important temperate fruit tree worldwide. In the past decade, significant progress has been made in pear molecular genetics based on DNA research, but the number of molecular markers is still quite limited, which hardly satisfies the increasing needs of geneticists and breeders. Results: In this study, a total of 156,396 simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci were identified from a genome sequence of Pyrus bretschneideri ‘Dangshansuli’. A total of 101,694 pairs of SSR primers were designed from the SSR loci, and 80,415 of the SSR loci were successfully located on 17 linkage groups (LGs). A total of 534 primer pairs were synthesized and preliminarily screened in four pear cultivars, and of these, 332 primer pairs were selected as clear, stable, and polymorphic SSR markers. Eighteen polymorphic SSR markers were randomly selected from the 332 polymorphic SSR markers in order to perform a further analysis of the genetic diversity among 44 pear cultivars. The 14 European pears and their hybrid materials were clustered into one group (European pear group); 29 Asian pear cultivars were clustered into one group (Asian pear group); and the Zangli pear cultivar ‘Deqinli’ from Yunnan Province, China, was grouped in an independent group, which suggested that the cultivar ‘Deqinli’ is a distinct and valuable germplasm resource.

  • Mountainous Crimea: a Frontier Zone of Ancient Civilization
    Mountainous Crimea: A Frontier Zone of Ancient Civilization Natalia G. Novičenkova Mountainous Crimea, Taurica, was a region separated from the ancient cen- ters of the peninsula and the communication lines connecting Chersonesos and the Bosporan Kingdom. This region is not particularly well studied and therefore it has been impossible to trace its development in Antiquity, and to clarify its role in the history of ancient Crimea as a whole. The geographical conditions of the Mountainous Crimea determined that the ancient population of this area dwelled almost entirely on the main moun- tain range. From a modern point of view it seems unlikely that a mountain ridge could unite a population into a single ethnic group instead of splitting it into several distinct segments. Yet our evidence from Antiquity suggests the opposite. Thus, for example, Plinius the Elder wrote that the Scytho-Taurians inhabited the range (Plin. NH 4.85). This evidence has evoked bewilderment among scholars1 because this part of Crimea has the harshest weather condi- tions and is covered with snow from November to May almost every year.
