Comprehensive Evaluation and Analysis of Ziziphus jujuba var.spinosa Seed Traits and Bioactive Components
In order to further explore the germplasm resources of Ziziphus jujuba var.spinosa in western Liaoning Province and screen the resource types with important application potential,14 main characters and bioactive components of seeds,such as horizontal diameter,longitudinal diameter,100 grain weight,total saponins,alkaloids,flavonoids and fatty acids,were determined in 4 excellent Ziziphus jujuba var.spinosa seeds.The results showed that the yield of Ziziphus jujuba var.spinosa seed was the highest(23.15%),and the yield of Ziziphus jujuba var.spinosa seed was the lowest(10.02%),although the seed core was the largest and the weight was the highest.The content of total sugar,flavonoid and total phenol was the highest in You-line 2,the content of total saponins in You-line1,the content of total alkaloids in You-line3 and the content of crude fat in You-line4.The average membership function values were as follows:You-line2>You-line1>You-line3>You-line4.The coefficient of variation of 14 indexes ranged from 4%to 46%,the coefficient of variation of total sugar and total phenol was less than 10%,and the coefficient of variation of alkaloids,total saponins,nuclear 100 kernel weight,double kernel rate,flavonoids and benevolence rate was larger.There was significant or significant positive correlation between transverse diameter of seed nucleus,longitudinal diameter of seed nucleus,mean value of two diameter,karyotype index,kernel weight of 100 kernel and total saponins.According to the membership function method,the comprehensive scores from high to low were You-line2,You-line1,You-line3 and You-line4.
