“…Titratable acidity, pH as well as juice percentage were not affected by differences in irrigation methodology. This is consistent with the results reported by Mena et al (2013) and Mellisho et al (2012) who showed that water stress did not affect the basic quality parameters of the pomegranate juice. In this reports a slight but significant reduction in pomegranate quality parameters was found only under severe water stress (12% of ET o ).…”

“…Despite the fact that pomegranate is characterised as fairly drought resistant, still requires regular watering in order to maintain high productivity. Many reports concluded that drought stress could have significant negative effects on fruit quality of pomegranate (Mellisho et al, 2012;Mena et al, 2013). As a result, in arid and semi-arid areas increasing of irrigation water efficiency is considered as very important in order to prevent drought stress and maintaine plants productivity (Laribi et al, 2013).…”

“…Therefore, identifying and introducing the most tolerant pomegranate cultivar to water deficit is very essential. The majority of studies on pomegranate trees under water stress have primarily investigated physiological responses such as transpiration, stomatal conductance, photosynthesis, intrinsic water use efficiency, stem and leaf water potential, RWC, and leaf osmotic potential (Galindo et al 2013;Intrigliolo et al 2011;Mellisho et al 2012;Parvizi et al 2016;Rodríguez et al 2012). To the best of our knowledge, there is no information on biochemical and molecular responses of pomegranate under water stress.…”

The biochemical and molecular responses of five commercially well-known pomegranate cultivars to severe water stress were studied. The cultivars were subjected to 14-day water stress by withholding irrigation, followed by re-watering for 7 days. Results showed clear differences in metabolites contents and activities of antioxidant enzymes among various pomegranate cultivars during severe water stress and recovery. According to our results, increased accumulation of proline in pomegranate was not related to osmotic adjustment during severe water stress. Except for 'Ghojagh', leaves grown under severe water stress conditions showed symptoms of oxidative stress such as reduced chlorophyll concentration. The improved performance of 'Ghojagh' under drought stress may be associated with an efficient osmotic adjustment. The up-or down regulated expression of cytosolic glutathione reductase (cytosolic GR) and glutathione peroxidase were observed under drought conditions. Moreover, the suppressed expression of cytosolic GR was also noted. Comparatively, 'Rabab' exhibited higher antioxidant capacity and an efficient ROSscavenging mechanism under drought stress. Lower levels of membrane lipid peroxidation in 'Ghojagh' and 'Rabab' under drought stress and the marked reduction of malondialdehyde concentration after re-watering represents that these cultivars have a good tolerance to drought stress. As a first step towards the study of the biochemical and molecular responses of pomegranate plants to water stress, this research provides new information into the mechanisms of drought tolerance in the plants.

“…Deficit irrigation affected the internal and external colouration, phenolics accumulation and composition and antioxidative capacity in the pomegranate cv. 'Mollar de Elche' fruit (Mellisho et al, 2012;Laribi et al, 2013;Mena et al, 2013;Peña et al, 2013). We have reported earlier on the favourable effect that increasing irrigation water salinity had on phenolics accumulation in fruit arils of two pomegranate accessions (Borochov-Neori et al, 2013a).…”

“…Based on the results of our earlier study on the evapotranspiration, crop coefficient and growth of two young pomegranate varieties under salt stress we have suggested that the term moderately sensitive to salinity more adequately describes the crop (Bhantana and Lazarovitch, 2010). Recent studies on pomegranate response to deficit irrigation during fruit development revealed adverse effects on fruit size and total yield (Mellisho et al, 2012).…”

Irrigation water salinity effects on colour and health ingredients in the pomegranate peel were studied in two accessions, 'Wonderful' and 'SP-2', grown under a wide range of salinities, 1.2 to 9 dS m -1 . Ripe fruit peels were analysed for phenolics and anthocyanins composition, and antioxidative capacity. Total phenolics concentration and antioxidative capacity were determined by the Folin-Ciocalteau and FRAP assays, respectively. Phenolics and anthocyanins composition was analysed by RP-HPLC. Increased salinity enhanced considerably the overall accumulation of phenolics and anthocyanins, and the antioxidative capacity in both cultivars; the magnitude of the effects was accession dependent. Mono-and di-glucosides of cyanidins, pelargonidins, and delphinidines were detected at proportions that varied with accession and salinity. Increased concentrations of gallotannins, flavonols and ellagic acid derivatives in 'Wonderful', and punicalagins, flavonols and ellagic acid derivatives in 'SP-2' accompanied elevated salinity levels. The results may benefit the pomegranate juice and byproduct valourisation industries, especially in the face of global water quality deterioration.
