ARI Biennial Review for 2018-2019

Cypriot pomegranate landrace, characterised by moderate fruit weight, high juiciness, thin rind, moderately hard seeds and light-coloured juice, low in acidity, anthocyanins, phenolics and antioxidant capacity. The present work advances the understanding of genetic and environmental contribution to the configuration of pomegranate physicochemical fruit composition. (M.C. Kyriacou, A. Kyratzis) A: Dendrogram of 30 pomegranate accessions based on squared Euclidean distances calculated on standardised mean phenotypic data across years. B: UPGMA dendrogram of 30 pomegranate accessions based on Jaccard genetic similarity. 30 VEGETABLE CROPS
