The results of studying the morphological characteristics of the flower, fruit,
pollen grains, and seeds between some of Hypericum genus species, show that
there are relevant morphological differences among the studied species, which
can be considered as taxonomical criteria for distinguishing the studied species
of Hypericum genus from each other.
Study was conducted in five locations as the important areas for
pomegranate cultivation and production in Yemen, during the period (15/1–
15/8/2004). Eight accessions of local pomegranate were used in this study:
Taefi, Orkobi, Mellies–Hada, Khaz
emy, Sommaty, Kodary, Chiny and Mellies–
Raudha in addition to the wild pomegranate type (Socotria). The
morphological characters were determined for leaves, flowers,fruits and seeds.
The chemical analysis for juice was also assessed. Maximum rate for fruit
weight was 527.3 gm for Kodary accession, whereas fruit Juic varied between
49.5–63.2%, while peel / fruit was varied between15% in Taefi and 35.9 % in
Chiny, whereas the peel thickness varied between 1.5–4.2 mm. The Scotria was
found to be evergreen, and flowers around the year. Kazemy accession gave
higher fruits number/tree with rate 246.7. The greatest rate of T.S.S and
Vitamin C were 18.57% and 11.12 mg respectively for Chiny accession, and the
highest content of organic acids in these accessions was 0.54 % for Taefi.
Carob pod is the fruit of the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua L.). The
fruit and its products, sold both in large stores and local markets,
contribute strongly to the diet of people living in the Mediterranean areas
of Europe.
This study reports th
e composition of carob pods sampled in
Homs, Hama and Coast Regions
