dc.description.abstractABSTRACT The present investigations entitled “Characterization and evaluation of some newly introduced pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) germplasm accessions” was carried out in the Department of Fruit Science, Dr Y S Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan. Twenty pomegranate genotypes namely Parfyanets, Saharnyi, Loulou, Nusai, Cloud, Green Globe, Podarok, Crab, Al-sirin-nar, Purple Heart, Kaim-anar, 20090265, Gulyalek, Haku-botan, Alk Pust Ghermez Saveh, Eve, Dewey, Ovadan, Sogdiana and Orange were evaluated for their plant, foliage, floral and fruit characters. Dewey recorded maximumplant height (3.18 m) whereas; minimum plant height (1.35 m) was recorded in 20090265. Shedding of leaf started from 13 th November (20090265) and extended till 4 th December (Saharnyi). Time of full bloom extended from 10 th April in Orange to 15 th June in Haku-botan. The longest duration (195 days) of flowering was recorded in Haku-botan and shortest (40 days) in Saharnyi and Nusai. Time of fruit maturity was early (5 th August) in Dewey and late (24 th August) in Ovadan. Pollen viability ranged from 91.13 per cent to 97.93 per cent when tested by 2.0 per cent acetocarmine and 83.24 to 89.42 per cent by 0.1 per cent erythrosin B. In vitro pollen germination varied from 34.28 per cent to 69.72 per cent. Largest and heaviest fruits were observed in Green Globe (296.3 g) whereas lightest fruits were in 20090265 (144.56 g). Aril percentage varied from 48.32 per cent to 70.94 per cent. Maximum aril/rind ratio was recorded in 20090265 (2.55) and minimum in Purple Heart (1.12). TSS content was maximum (15.87°B) in Purple Heart and minimum in (9.93 °B) in Ovadan. Titratable acidity was recorded highest in Gulyalek (2.26%) and lowest in Loulou (0.66%). Total sugar content ranged from 7.55 per cent (Ovadan) to 14.13 per cent (Purple Heart). Genotype Ovadan (30.60 mg/100ml) have highest anthocyanins content whereas Hakubotan (3.23 mg/100ml) have lowest anthocyanin content. Maximum phenols from the juice was obtained in Al-sirin-nar (981.24 mg/100g) whereas it is minimum in Alk Pust Ghermez Saveh (308.03 mg/100ml).en_US
