“…However, the presence of antioxidants and their amount in fruits, due to the presented results of mentioned studies, depends on genetic and environmental factors such as cultivar and variety, climate, place of origin, sun exposure, fertilization, harvest time, irrigation, etc. The concentrations of individual polyphenols during cranberry fruits ripening, as Oszmiański et al [68] detected, were similar, but their overall values differed significantly. Immature fruits had the lowest level of polyphenols that increased in semi-mature fruits and did not change in mature cranberry fruits too much.…”

Lesser known fruits or underutilized fruit species are recently of great research interest due to the presence of phytochemicals that manifest many biological effects. European cranberry, Vaccinium oxycoccos fruit, as an important representative of this group, is a valuable source of antioxidants and other biologically active substances, similar to American cranberry (V. macrocarpon) which is well known and studied. European cranberry fruit is rich especially in polyphenolic compounds anthocyanins (12.4–207.3 mg/100 g fw), proanthocyanins (1.5–5.3 mg/100 g fw), and flavonols, especially quercetin (0.52–15.4 mg/100 g fw), which mostly contribute to the antioxidant activity of the fruit. Small cranberry is also important due to its various biological effects such as urinary tract protection (proanthocyanidins), antibacterial and antifungal properties (quercetin, proanthocyanidins, anthocyanins), cardioprotective (proanthocyanidins) and anticancer activities (proanthocyanidins), and utilization in food (juice drinks, jams, jellies, sauces, additive to meat products) and pharmacological industries, and in folk medicine.

“…However, other research has shown increased total phenol and flavonoid in Amburana cearensis [56] and Viola tricolor [57] inoculated with AMF. A number of researches have shown a variation of phytochemical content during the different phases of the plant growth, from their increasing [58] to their alteration [59]. Therefore, different values of tannins, flavonoids and total phenols in P. africana could be either increased or decreased during the growing.…”

Prunus africana bark contains phytochemical compounds used in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer. It has been shown that this plant establishes association with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). AMF are involved in nutrient uptake, which may also affect plant growth and secondary metabolites composition. However, there is no information regarding the role of AMF in the growth and phytochemical content of P. africana. A pot experiment was carried out to assess the response of 8 months old vegetatively propagated P. africana seedlings inoculated with indigenous AMF collected from Mount Cameroon (MC) and Mount Manengumba (MM) in Cameroon, Malava near Kakamega (MK) and Chuka Tharaka-Nithi (CT) in Kenya. Mycorrhizal (frequency, abundance and intensity), growth (height, shoot weight, total weight, number of leaf, leaf surface) and phytochemical (total phenol, tannin and flavonoids) parameters were measured three months after growth of seedlings from two provenances (Muguga and Chuka) with the following inoculation treatments: MK, CT, MC, MM, non-sterilized soil (NS) and sterilized sand as non-inoculated control. Results showed that seedling heights were significantly increased by inoculation and associated with high root colonization (>80%) compared to non-inoculated seedlings. We also found that AMF promoted leaf formation, whereas inoculation did not have any effect on the seedling total weight. AMF inoculum from MM had a higher tannin content, while no significant difference was observed on the total phenol and flavonoid contents due to AMF inoculation. Pearson’s correlation was positive between mycorrhizal parameters and the growth parameters, and negative with phytochemical parameters. This study is the first report on the effect of AMF on the growth and phytochemical in P. africana. Further investigations are necessary to determine the effect of single AMF strains to provide better understanding of the role of AMF on the growth performance and physiology of this important medicinal plant species.

“…The diverse wild clones and cultivars collected under this program and their assessment for antioxidant properties and genetic diversity using molecular markers will contribute significantly in berry crop germplasm management and improvement. Although reports on antioxidant properties are available with a limited number of cranberry genotypes (Abeywickrama et al., 2016; Viskelis et al., 2009; Lu et al., 2017; Oszmiański et al., 2017, 2018), none is with wild diverse germplasm. Reports on linkage between molecular markers and antioxidant properties of cranberries are lacking.…”

Wild germplasm with elevated antioxidants are a useful resource for using directly and in a breeding program. In a study with 136 wild clones and two cranberry cultivars, phenolic, flavonoid and anthocyanin contents varied 2.79, 2.70 and 17.46 times, respectively. The antioxidant activity ranged from 1.17 ± 0.01 to 2.53 ± 0.05 mg/g and varied 2.16 times. Seventy-five of wild clones and the cultivar Franklin were grouped into five distinct classes by molecular structure analysis using inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR), expressed sequence tag-simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) and EST-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) markers. Grouping with DNA markers did not coincide with that of based on antioxidant properties. Present study indicates that genetic diversity analysis combined with antioxidant properties of wild germplasm play a significant role for conservation and in selecting diverse genotypes for future berry crop improvement.
