“…Infructescence nutritional value is far higher than common fruits, because it contains not only fat, protein, and various types of sugar, but also a variety of mineral elements needed by the human body [1,4]. H. acerba fruit medicinal value is vast and is effective for numerous diseases: it inhibits cancer cell growth [5,6]; it has sedative, analgesic and anticonvulsant [3], anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation, anti-aging, and other effects [7]; it contains active components for liver protection [8,9]; it reduces coronary heart disease and improves immunity incidences [10,11]. The chemical components of H. acerba fruit were studied, and a variety of compounds, such as triterpenoid saponins, tannins, flavones, and fatty acids were isolated [7,12].…”

Hovenia acerba is a precious medicinal and edible tree. We assessed the genetic variation of H. acerba quality traits and conducted a comprehensive germplasm resource evaluation to provide a theoretical basis for breeding edible, medicinal, and edible/medicine combination varieties. We evaluated 31 H. acerba germplasm resources, including 12 infructescence and 8 fruit quality traits using correlation, principal component, and cluster analyses. The results showed that there were significant differences in all quality traits, with an average coefficient of variation greater than 0.20, an average genetic diversity greater than 1.80, and an average repeatability greater than 0.90. The average genetic variation and repeatability of quality traits in infructescence were higher than fruit. Infructescence K, Ca, Mn, Mg, and reducing sugar contents are important indicators in evaluating infructescence and fruit quality traits, and infructescence K, Mg, and reducing sugar contents are also quality innovation indices of H. acerba germplasms. Tannin, protein, and soluble sugar were the most suitable quality components for screening, followed by reducing sugar, starch, fat, total saponins, and total flavones. According to principal component factor scores and cluster analysis results, specific genotypes were selected as breeding materials for infructescence protein, tannin, flavone, reductive sugar, fruit tannin, fat, flavonoid, saponin, protein, and starch. The correlation analysis with environmental factors showed that the total amount of applied water could influence H. acerba infructescence and fruit quality. In conclusion, the variability of H. acerba germplasm resources was rich, and selection potential is large, which is beneficial to germplasm quality innovation and breeding.
