The exploration in the sandy shores of Salterns of Margherita di Savoia revealed the cultivation of local carrot landraces with high nutritional and nutraceutical properties, driven by the pedological conditions of the area. Variability in morpho-qualitative traits among carrot genotypes and the potential of a specific landrace, Carota a punta tonda, as a healthy product rich in phenols and beta-carotene were identified, suggesting the importance of on-farm conservation for biodiversity preservation.
The explorations as a part of the regional BiodiverSO Programme of vegetable genetic resource rescue revealed that in the arenili (sandy shores) of Salterns of Margherita di Savoia (SMS), a coastal landscape area of Puglia region (southern Italy), along the commercial genotypes of small rooting species, landraces are still cultivated. The morpho-biometrical, nutritional and phytochemical properties of two carrot landraces (Carota a punta lunga and Carota a punta tonda) and a commercial carrot hybrid (Presto) collected from the SMS area are examined. The study highlighted that the pedological conditions of the arenili of the SMS area are the main driving force in controlling the nutritional and nutraceutical characteristics of carrot, conferring to genotypes grown in this area a high profile in comparison with literature data. In the site of cultivation of arenili, a large variability in the morpho-qualitative traits emerged among carrot genotypes. Carota a punta tonda stands for a promising genotype being very rich in phenols (209.8 mg kg(-1) fw) (mainly di-caffeic acid derivative and chlorogenic acid), ss-carotene (21,512 mu g 100 g(-1) fw), and high antioxidative proprieties. Carota a punta tonda could be considered as a healthy product for consumers and also amenable to selection for breeding purpose. Increasing the knowledge about nutritional and nutraceutical properties of local landraces may push the preference of consumers beyond the local community and, at the same time, farmers can be stimulated to continue their cultivation. Thus, the promotion of their on-farm/in situ conservation (cultivation) could represent an efficient strategy for agro-biodiversity preservation.
