“…In separate studies, various characteristics of different pomegranate genotypes have been investigated (Levin, 1990;Manivannan and Rengasamy, 1999;Nageswari et al, 1999;Xian and Xian, 1999;Jalikop, 2009). A few pomegranate selection studies carried out in the Mediterranean (Onur and Kaşka, 1985), Aegean, and Southeast Anatolia (Boz, 1988) regions of Turkey identified individual plants that possessed the majority of the requested characteristics and determined standard cultivars for the regions based on adaptation trials (Özbek, 1977;Dokuzoğuz and Mendilcioğlu, 1978;Onur and Tibet, 1993;Özgüven, 1998;Gündoğdu and Yılmaz, 2012).…”

Pomegranate is an important fruit species, with increasing consumption and production in recent years throughout the world. In Turkey, Hicaznar, which was originally developed through selective breeding, is the most highly produced and exported cultivar. To isolate lines with improved productivity and quality, Hicaznar was selfed, open-pollinated, or crossed with the sweet pomegranate cultivars Ernar and Fellahyemez. Arising from the crosses, 3118 lines were developed, and 67 were considered for important traits. These 67 pomegranate genotypes, from different crosses, were compared with their parents, which are commercially important pomegranate genotypes regarding tree and fruit traits. Twenty-one morphological characteristics were evaluated to cover the present genetic variations within the investigated materials using principal component analysis (PCA). Simple correlation analyses showed significant positive and negative correlations for certain important characteristics. Factorial and PC analyses revealed that large variation exists regarding the evaluated tree and fruit characteristics.

“…The hybrid progeny is selected in the F 1 or in a later generation after screening for the desirable traits. It can result in a new variety or serve as a breeding line in future breeding programs (Jalikop 2010). In pomegranate, hybridization is relatively easy because of bigger flowers, which makes pollen availability convenient.…”

Pollen studies act as a prerequisite for choosing a compatible pollen parent and help plant breeders to achieve successful crossing between different cultivars. An experiment was conducted during 2018–19 at Fruit Research Farm of Regional Horticulture Research and Training Station Bajaura, Kullu, Himachal Pradesh to evaluate 8 commercial genetically distant pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) cultivars (Chawla, Nabha, P-26, Kandhari Kabuli, G-137, Jodhpur Red, Mridula and Bhagwa) for pollen morphology (shape and size) and viability. Hybridization studies were also carried out to assess the role of cross pollination in fruit set to infuse blood red aril colour and soft seededness in the selected cultivars. The compatibility behaviour was studied by using different cross combinations of cultivars followed by recording their fruit set percentage. It could help breeders understand the performance of cultivars as pollinizers which would ultimately help them in hybridization programs. Pollen viability of the pomegranate germplasm was determined using 2% acetocarmine. Highest pollen viability was recorded in Bhagwa (94.29%) followed by Chawla (91.21%). In hybridization studies, highest fruit set per cent among 16 crosses was observed in Mridula × P-26 (77.80%). The differences in fruit set percentage could be due to varied degree of compatibility between different genotypes, behaviour of pollen with respect to viability percentage, differences in growth rate of pollen tube and might also be due to differences in temperature during bloom period.

“…Moreover in the last years the pomegranate is revealing a great importance for the human health because of the high antioxidants content of its juice and peel, related with the prevention of cancer and cardiovascular diseases (Seeram et al, 2006;Sestili et al, 2007). The cultivars grown today are the result of human selection from natural intra-species variation or achieved by seedling selection or hybridization followed by selection (Jalikop 2010). However, in a scenario of a high demanding market, the pomegranate breeding programs should make an effort to accomplish the characteristics demanded by the market, as for instance darker skin, red peel, early ripening, higher antioxidant content and soft seeds.…”

Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) belongs to the Punicaceae family and is native from the region between Iran to the Himalaya in Northern India. It has been cultivated and naturalized over the whole Mediterranean region since ancient times. Normally consumed as a fresh fruit, pomegranate can also be used to obtain transformed products such as juice, jam or preserves. Moreover, in recent years the pomegranate has shown great importance for human health because of the high antioxidant content of its juice and peel. Improvement of the crop and fruit quality are the main goals in breeding programs. Pomegranate species shows high diversity of pomological traits, which is very interesting for improvement of the crop by breeding. One of the main tools for breeding are the germplasm resources and their genetic diversity. In this study, 96 accessions belonging to the IVIA's collection were analysed using 18 microsatellite markers developed from pomegranate. The plant material come from nine countries and included some hybrids and accessions from unknown origin. A total of 111 alleles were obtained. They were used for addressing the molecular genetic diversity and population structure of the collection. Knowledge of the substructure and diversity of the collection will allow us to manage the genetic resources as well as planning the incorporation of new materials in the future. The goal is to select the best plant material for the pomegranate breeding program.
