Several techniques of DNA analysis were applied to identify chrysanthemum cultivars. Unrelated cultivars could be distinguished by using RAPDs (random amplified polymorphic DNAs), inter-SSR (simple sequence repeat) PCR (polymerase chain reaction), hybridization-based DNA fingerprinting, as well as RFLPs (restriction fragment length polymorphisms). Cultivars with different flower colours and belonging to one family, i.e. vegetatively derived from 1 cultivar, appeared to have the same DNA fragment patterns, whichever technique was applied. The absence of polymorphisms between different accessions of the same cultivar indicated a high stability of the observed patterns.

Background/objectives: Chrysanthemum (), a key ornamental and medicinal plant, presents challenges in cultivar identification due to high phenotypic similarity and environmental influences. This study assessed the genetic diversity and discrimination of 126 spray-type chrysanthemum cultivars.
Methods: About twenty-three simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were screened for the discrimination of 126 cultivars, among which six SSR markers showed polymorphic fragments.

Chrysanthemum is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb. Chrysanthemum extracts are rich in bioactive compounds; however, there are few reports evaluating the whitening effects of organic chrysanthemum extracts. This study assessed the antioxidant and whitening effects of organic extracts from the petals of five chrysanthemum cultivars from Guangdong, China.

Article Synopsis
- Pink rot, a disease caused by the oomycete Phytophthora erythroseptica, severely impacts potato crops, with notable increases in infection rates reported in San Luis Valley, Colorado in 2023.
- Infected tubers showed visible symptoms, including dark discoloration and subsequent salmon-pink coloration when cut, with significant infection percentages in two potato cultivars, Russet Norkotah and Canela Russet.
- DNA extraction and PCR tests confirmed the presence of P. erythroseptica in symptomatic tubers, and successful isolation of the pathogen was achieved using selective media techniques, further tested on sterilized potato tubers.

'Boju' and 'Huaiju' are cultivars of the Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat.) in the family Asteraceae, valued for their medicinal, tea, and ornamental properties, and valued by individuals. However, the yield and quality of medicinal chrysanthemums are limited by the characteristics of the germplasm resources, including the identification at the varieties and cultivation levels.

Article Synopsis
- Terpenoids are key components of floral scent in the Chrysanthemum genus, showing notable differences between wild species and domesticated cultivars.
- A study compared two wild ancestors and two cultivated varieties of C. morifolium, revealing that wild relatives produce more terpenoids than cultivars, with distinct gene expressions influencing this variation.
- The research identified specific terpene synthase genes linked to floral scent compounds, demonstrating that the biochemical functions of these genes differ between wild and cultivated plants, shedding light on the effects of domestication on scent production.
