About this title

Synopsis

Wild pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) commonly known as "Daru" belongs to the family Punicaceae with chromosome number 2n = 16 or 18. The genus is known to include two species; Punica Protopunica and Punica granatum, the pomegranate.Pomegranate was known as "malum punica" (Punica apple or apple of carthage) in Europe, while in Indo-Pak subcontinent it is familiar with the name "Anar".The pomegranate is one of the oldest known edible fruits. This fruit tree is one of the species mentioned in the Bible and Holy Quran. It is native to the Persia and perhaps some surrounding areas.Present studies were initiated with the view point to explore the diversity existing among various wild pomegranate populations in Rawalakot district Poonch with the help of certain morpho-physiological traits.To determine the association among different parameters simple correlation coefficient was used, factor and cluster analysis were used to elaborate the clear picture of divergence among the traits and amongst the population.
