“…India is rich in pomegranate biodiversity, especially the Western Himalayas, where seedling trees locally known as Daru come up naturally in abundance. The fruits of such varieties are highly acidic and commercially used for preparation of anardana (dried arils), particularly in Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh [11,12]. Sweet-type pomegranate germplasm is widely available in different parts of India and plants have wide variations in their fruit characters [13,14].…”

Variability studies of physico-chemical properties of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) using a scoring technique. Abstract-Introduction. India is the largest producer of pomegranate in the world, with rich genetic diversity. The wide range of utility of pomegranate in human health, nutrition and livelihood security has triggered its heavy demand in India and other countries. At present, more than 300 germplasm accessions from indigenous and exotic sources are available in India, but meagre information on the physico-chemical properties of their fruits is available. In our study, the physico-chemical properties of varieties grown under a semi-arid climate were investigated. Materials and methods. Our study was carried out at the experimental farm of the National Research Centre on Pomegranate, Solapur, India, during the harvests of 2008-2009 and 2009-2010. Twenty pomegranate varieties were studied with respect to the physico-chemical properties of their fruits. Results and discussion. A considerable variation (coefficient of variation: 3.37% to 101.13%) was observed with respect to the 16 characters studied. The values ranged from 12.64°Brix to 15.39°Brix for TSS; 0.38% to 3.40% for acidity; 16.67 g to 27.82 g for 100-aril weight; 4.31-38.62 for the maturity index; 59.22% to 77.40% for aril percentage; and 43.30% to 61.00% for juice percentage. Fruit size, rind weight, total aril weight, 100-aril weight, juice weight and aril width were found to have a strong positive correlation (P < 0.01) with fruit weight. Based on the total index score obtained, the varieties 'Bassein Seedless', 'Dholka', 'Ganesh', 'Jyoti', 'Kandhari', 'KRS', 'Mridula' and 'P-13' were found to be suitable for processing and table purposes.

Résumé-Introduction. L'Inde est le plus grand producteur de grenades dans le monde ; l'espèce présente une vaste diversité génétique dans ce pays. Un large éventail d'utilisation de la grenade pour la santé humaine et la sécurité alimentaire a déclenché une forte demande en Inde et ailleurs. À l'heure actuelle, plus de 300 accessions de matériel génétique d'origine locale ou exotique sont disponibles en Inde, mais peu d'informations sur les propriétés physico-chimiques de leurs fruits sont disponibles.

“…The pomegranate fruit acidity inheritance reported in this paper should be of help while evolving sweet varieties incorporating the useful traits like moisture stress tolerance of 'Nana' ) and bacterial blight tolerance of 'Daru' (Jalikop et al 2005). Besides, in understanding more about the genetics of fruit acidity in 'Kabul Yellow' and in breeding 'Double Flower' ornamental pomegranates the information provided here will be useful.…”

“…Currently, anardana is produced by drying the acidic arils of 'Daru' and commonly used for souring the culinary preparations. Some segregants in ('Ganesh' · 'Nana') · 'Daru' family exhibited very high acidity of more than 80.0 g/l (about 20.0 g/l more than 'Daru'; Tables 1 and 2) with bigger fruit size than 'Daru' (Jalikop et al 2005). Therefore they could be of use in developing anardana varieties.…”

“…Fruits of thick peels might have the ability to resist peel cracks. A thick skin (peel) enclosing the edible arils protects the fruits from pest and pathogens that enters the fruits via these cracks (Jalikop et al, 2006(Jalikop et al, , 2005. Landraces with thick pericarp might be used to breed for varieties that resist cracking.…”

The level of variation in various fruit traits was described among 14 Jordanian pomegranate landraces and the genetic relatedness was investigated using RAPD and SSR markers. Euclidean distances among studied landraces ranged from 3.33 to 12.01, with a mean of 7.65. Fruit and aril traits explained the variation in the first component (28.92%), while other traits were present in the second (17.615) and third (12.81%) components, and therefore contributed less to the variability. Genetic distances based on RAPD scores ranged from 0.24 to 0.66, indicating that considerable level of divergence exists among studied pomegranate landraces. The set of SSR markers used in this study was monomorphic, which might be due to the fact that available SSR markers are too few to identify polymorphic SSR markers to differentiate between landraces present within a small geographic area. Multivariate analysis showed that dendrograms constructed based on fruit related traits as compared with that based on RAPD scores were not consistent. Pomegranate landraces displayed high variability in fruit and aril related traits, which could be considered a valuable source of genes for commercial uses. Results revealed the presence of small seeded variety that has large arils. High morphological and RAPD variation exist among Jordanian pomegranate landraces could be exploited in pomegranate breeding.
