The leaves of roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) have been used as a traditional folk medicine that has diuretic and mild laxative effects. Roselle is cultivated in many countries for medicines and food. However, studies on the variation of functional compounds in different accessions are relatively limited. In this study, we investigated the phenolic compound content of leaf extracts from 49 different roselle accessions from a worldwide collection by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. The aim was to chemically classify and assess the pharmacological properties of the phenolic compounds in the leaves. The phenolic compounds were identified as neochlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenic acid, rutin, rutin isomer, isoquercitin, kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside, kaempferol-3-O-glucoside, quercetin, quercetin isomer, and kaempferol. These compounds were present at significantly different levels among the accessions. The most abundant phenolic compound was rutin, which was found in 45 accessions where the total phenolic compound content was 18.75-46.51 mg/g (average 31.52 mg/g). The phenolic compounds were classified into four groups. The two accessions with the highest total phenolic compound content were from Ghana (PI286316) and Senegal (PI275413). The hierarchical cluster analysis of the 49 roselle accessions showed that they formed five groups according to their phenolic compound content. Our results will be useful for the selection of roselle genotypes with improved functional compounds.

This study was carried out to evaluate the genetic diversity and relationships among fifty-six blackberry (Rubus fructicosus) mutants derived from gamma-ray treatment (fifty-two lines) by analysis of Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. Both cluster analysis and principal coordinate analysis (PCOORDA) were conducted in order to study the genetic diversity, using both morphological traits and AFLP makers. A total of 589 bands were amplified with an average of 58.9 bands per primer. Among them, 560 were identified to be polymorphic, with a rate of 95.08%. A showed a highly significant (P≤0.01) positive correlation with GD and PIC (r2=0.999). MI also showed a significant (P≤0.05) positive correlation with GD and PIC. According to the clustering analysis, all mutant lines could be classified into five categories, but the three gamma-ray treatment lines and the cross-bred line were not clustered into any groups. For the morphological traits, cluster analysis divided the blackberry germplasm into six clusters and two independent groups. In addition, the morphological dendrogram indicated an unclear pattern of division among the groups based on AFLP analysis. The findings of this study indicate that mutant lines have high genetic diversity, and can be effectively utilized as materials for the improvement of breeding.
