“…Protocols for regeneration of P. granatum have been reported by a number of researchers (Naik et al 1999;Naik et al 2000;Shao et al 2003;Chauhan and Kanwar 2012); however, these protocols display several problems related to establishment of plant materials and in vitro responsiveness (Chauhan and Kanwar 2012). The most commonly used protocols for organogenesis have employed seedling derived plant materials (Chauhan and Kanwar 2012), but this approach is not suitable for elite cultivars.…”

“…It is also highly relevant to reduce the relatively long juvenile phase associated with perennial fruit tree species. Somatic embryogenesis has emerged as a better alternative to organogenesis in the mass propagation of some fruit trees, due to the in vitro recalcitrance of explants from mature phase selections [ 78 , 79 , 80 , 81 , 82 , 83 ]. However, irrespective of the propagation method, CKs are often the main determinants of successful plant regeneration.…”

Cytokinins (CKs) are a chemically diverse class of plant growth regulators, exhibiting wide-ranging actions on plant growth and development, hence their exploitation in agriculture for crop improvement and management. Their coordinated regulatory effects and cross-talk interactions with other phytohormones and signaling networks are highly sophisticated, eliciting and controlling varied biological processes at the cellular to organismal levels. In this review, we briefly introduce the mode of action and general molecular biological effects of naturally occurring CKs before highlighting the great variability in the response of fruit crops to CK-based innovations. We present a comprehensive compilation of research linked to the application of CKs in non-model crop species in different phases of fruit production and management. By doing so, it is clear that the effects of CKs on fruit set, development, maturation, and ripening are not necessarily generic, even for cultivars within the same species, illustrating the magnitude of yet unknown intricate biochemical and genetic mechanisms regulating these processes in different fruit crops. Current approaches using genomic-to-metabolomic analysis are providing new insights into the in planta mechanisms of CKs, pinpointing the underlying CK-derived actions that may serve as potential targets for improving crop-specific traits and the development of new solutions for the preharvest and postharvest management of fruit crops. Where information is available, CK molecular biology is discussed in the context of its present and future implications in the applications of CKs to fruits of horticultural significance.

“…Pomegranate can also be found in the Mediterranean and Caucasus regions due to its ancient cultivation. Today, pomegranate is cultivated all over India, Southeast Asia, Malaysia, the East Indies, tropical Africa, and the United States [48]. In 1879, French chemists Tanret and Pelletier isolated a basic substance from the root bark of the pomegranate tree and characterized the salt [45].…”

Tropane and Granatane Alkaloid Biosynthesis: A Systematic Analysis

et al. 2016

Abstract:The tropane and granatane alkaloids belong to the larger pyrroline and piperidine classes of plant alkaloids, respectively. Their core structures share common moieties and their scattered distribution among angiosperms suggest that their biosynthesis may share common ancestry in some orders, while they may be independently derived in others. Tropane and granatane alkaloid diversity arises from the myriad modifications occurring to their core ring structures. Throughout much of human history, humans have cultivated tropane-and granatane-producing plants for their medicinal properties. This manuscript will discuss the diversity of their biological and ecological roles as well as what is known about the structural genes and enzymes responsible for their biosynthesis. In addition, modern approaches to producing some pharmaceutically important tropanes via metabolic engineering endeavors are discussed.
