Patterns and heritability of carboxylic acids and soluble sugars in fruits of apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.)

Abstract: The investigation of acid and sugar content in an array of apricot cultivars and progenies indicates the existence of marked variabiUty. Citric acid varied from 0.17 to 1.20% and malic acid from 0.21 to 1.51% on fresh weight. Fructose varied from 0.27 to 1.60%, glucose from 0.90 to 3.13% and sucrose from 1.92 to 6.92%. The estimate of heritability was high for total and main sugars, reaching over 0.50%. Acids generally showed low coefficients, although those for citric (0.27) and malic (0.36) were good.

“…Several studies have previously characterized Prunus populations or clonal collections for patterns of variation in sugar and organic acid contents (Bassi et al, 1996;Dirlewanger et al, 1999;Gurrieri et al, 2001;Wu et al, 2003). These studies are in general agreement that the growth environment influences levels of specific sugars and fruit acids, but that the profile of those sugars and acids is relatively constant across environments.…”

“…Heritability estimates of specific sugars in apricot fruit based on progeny and mid-parent means ranged from a low of 0.44 for sucrose to a high of 0.58 for fructose. Total sugar heritability was estimated at 0.62, while a specific h 2 value for sorbitol was not given (Bassi et al, 1996). In other studies Brix was shown to be highly correlated with sucrose, and total sugars correlated with sucrose levels as well (Dirlewanger et al, 1999;Gurrieri et al, 2001).…”

“…Sugar composition of apricot samples growing in Italy was reported to contain sucrose (1.92-6.92%), glucose (0.90-3.13%), and fructose (0.27-1.60%) (Bassi, Bartolozzi, & Muzzi, 1996). A structural investigation of an acidic polysaccharide of the seeds of P. armeniaca by Banerjee and Bhatt (2007) revealed the presence of mannose (50%), glucose (37.5%), and glucuronic acid (12.5%).…”
