In order to safeguard a botanical heritage of considerable value, a study is being carried out with the aim to characterize 19th century Camellia japonica cultivars present in historical gardens located along the western and northern side of the Lake Maggiore (Italy and Switzerland), an area that represents a rich reservoir of germplasm for its favourable eco-pedologic conditions. Specific protocols have been prepared for DNA isolation and DNA analysis by means of microsatellite markers. At the moment the research is still in progress. Preliminary results indicate that the primer pairs used were successful in amplifying alleles.

Abstract
In order to safeguard a botanical heritage of considerable value, a study is being carried out with the aim to characterize 19th century Camellia japonica cultivars present in historical gardens located along the western and northern side of the Lake Maggiore (Italy and Switzerland), an area that represents a rich reservoir of germplasm for its favourable eco-pedologic conditions. Specific protocols have been prepared for DNA isolation and DNA analysis by means of microsatellite markers. At the moment the research is still in progress. Preliminary results indicate that the primer pairs used were successful in amplifying alleles.
