Suggest a correction!Industrial and craft applications:
- Reference genome: The complete chloroplast genome of Daphne laureola (Thymelaeaceae) has been sequenced and deposited in GenBank (accession NC_044960.1). The sequence was published by Zhang, H., Li, X., & Wang, Y. (2021) in Mitochondrial DNA Part B, 6(5), 1215‑1217. The genome is integrated into public databases (NCBI, ENA, Phytozome) and serves as a reference for phylogenetic, comparative, and evolutionary studies within the family. Researchers have used the data to resolve taxonomic relationships among Daphne species and to develop DNA‑barcode libraries for European flora. The availability of the genome also supports standard lab protocols for chloroplast isolation, DNA extraction, and high‑throughput sequencing pipelines.
Properties relevant to use:
- The chloroplast genome is a typical angiosperm quadripartite structure of about 155 kb, comprising a large single‑copy region (~86 kb), a small single‑copy region (~18 kb) and two inverted repeats (~25 kb each). It encodes 112 genes (80 protein‑coding, 28 tRNA, 4 rRNA), exhibits a GC content of ~37 %, and contains the complete set of photosynthetic genes. These features make it suitable for standard phylogenetic markers (matK, rbcL, trnL‑F) and for comparative genomics within Thymelaeaceae.
Standards and regulation:
- Because Daphne laureola has no recognized commercial timber, fiber, dye, food, or cosmetic uses, no specific ISO, ASTM, EN, or national standards apply to its extraction or processing. The species is not listed in the European Union cosmetic ingredient database (CosIng), the EFSA novel food inventory, or the EU timber regulation (EU‑TIMB‑REG), and it is absent from international trade classification codes for plant‑based materials.
Sustainability and sourcing:
- The species is classified as “Least Concern” on the IUCN Red List and is not listed under CITES. No commercial harvest or cultivation for industrial purposes is documented, and any material used for research is collected from wild populations in protected areas under national biodiversity legislation, typically limited to a few individuals per study. As harvesting is not performed at scale, wild populations remain stable and the plant does not raise sustainability concerns; the only ongoing interaction is low‑impact scientific sampling.

Germination/Propagation Top
Suggest a correction or add new data!| Alternate between 4°C and 20°C for 3 months each, over several cycles, with an extended germination period. |
| Requires Scarification: Scarification involves physically breaking, scratching, or softening the seed coat to allow water absorption and germination to occur. This can be done by nicking the seed coat with a knife or rubbing the seeds between sheets of sandpaper. |
| Pulpy Coat Inhibits Germination: Seeds with a pulpy or fleshy outer coat need to have this material removed by soaking and rinsing in clean water daily for about a week. The inhibitory substances in the pulp are thus washed away, and germination rates improve. |
| Sow seeds immediately as their viability decreases rapidly, or they best germinate when fresh. If stored, seeds might need temperature cycling and patience to germinate. |
