Primula obconica, a household plant originally found in China that was introduced in Europe in the 1880s, has been reported to cause plant-induced contact dermatitis (CD). The condition more commonly is reported in Europe and less frequently in the United States, where the plant is not commonly included in patch testing protocols. Clinical features of P obconica CD can include facial and hand as well as fingertip dermatitis. The main allergens known to cause these findings are primin and miconidin. Treatment of P obconica CD mainly involves avoiding contact with the plant and applying a topical steroid.

The genus (Primulaceae) comprises more than 500 species, with 300 species distributed in China. The contradictory results between systematic analyses and morphology-based taxonomy make taxonomy studies difficult. Furthermore, frequent introgression between closely related species of can result in non-monophyletic species.

We report the complete chloroplast genome of , a popular house-plant all over the world. The complete chloroplast genome of was sequenced using an Illumina Miseq platform. The circular genome is 153,694 bp in length and comprises a large single copy (LSC, 84,485 bp) region and a small single copy (SSC, 17,689 bp) region, which are separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRa and IRb, 25,760 bp each).

Premise Of The Study: Microsatellite markers were developed for a distylous-homostylous species, (Primulaceae), to investigate the mating patterns and gene flow in the species.
Methods And Results: Using RAD sequencing, 42,777 contigs were generated. A total of 1566 putative simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci were identified by MISA, and 1433 primer sets were designed.

Clinical Unit of Occupational Medicine, University of Trieste, Trieste, 34129, Italy.
Background: Primin is the main contact allergen found in the ornamental plant Primula obconica Hance.
Objective: To analyse the temporal trend of sensitivity to primin in north-eastern Italy and to evaluate the associations with occupations in our geographical area.
Methodology: From 1996 to 2012, 24 052 consecutive patients with suspected allergic contact dermatitis were patch tested in north-eastern Italy.
