Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of Tunisian pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) cultivars using amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis
TL;DR: The derived dendrogram proved that cultivars are clustered independently from their geographical origin and their denomination, and AFLP permitted the generation of a nearly unlimited number of molecular markers that are reliable in differentiating the cultivars and/or the polyclonal varieties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) germplasm in Tunisia
Messaoud Mars,Mohamed Marrakchi +1 more
TL;DR: PCA and cluster analysis showed a considerable phenotypic and genetic diversity in the local pomegranate germplasm, and Parameters with high discriminating values were those related to fruit size and color and juice characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative Assessment of SSR and AFLP Markers for Evaluation of Genetic Diversity and Conservation of Fig, Ficus carica L., Genetic Resources in Tunisia
Ghada Baraket,Khaled Chatti,Olfa Saddoud,Ahmed Ben Abdelkarim,Messaoud Mars,Mokhtar Trifi,Amel Salhi Hannachi +6 more
TL;DR: Using both marker systems, the Tunisian fig germ plasm is characterised by having a large genetic diversity at the deoxyribonucleic acid level, as most of AFLP bands were detected and all SSR markers were polymorphic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organic Acids, Sugars, and Anthocyanins Contents in Juices of Tunisian Pomegranate Fruits
Nejib Hasnaoui,Rania Jbir,Messaoud Mars,Mokhtar Trifi,Afaf Kamal-Eldin,Pablo Melgarejo,Francisca Hernández +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the analysis of 30 Tunisian accessions of pomegranate was studied for their organic acids, sugars, and anthocyanin contents, using high performance liquid chromatography.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seed and juice characterization of pomegranate fruits grown in Tunisia: Comparison between sour and sweet cultivars revealed interesting properties for prospective industrial applications
Nejib Hasnaoui,Messaoud Mars,Sana Ghaffari,Mokhtar Trifi,Pablo Melgarejo,Francisca Hernández +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a strong correlation was found between sourness and citric acid content, which is assumed to be the major factor that determines sour taste in pomegranate fruits.
