“…25, 2016; seeds in all genotypes of three species indicate that under each case fertilization occurs and seed aborts only during development. Viable seed set under open pollination was studied since open pollination studies are a better indication of maximum reproductive potential, as a measure of reproductive success in comparison to controlled pollination conditions ( Liu, P. 2008). This has been verified in other plant species (Medrano et al 2000;Dhar et al 2006).…”

The reproductive biology of three Ziziphus species: Z. jujube, Z. mauritiana and Z.spina-christi, with respect to seasonal growth stages, floral biology, pollen performance, fruit set and seed viability were compared. To elucidate the reasons for variations in reproductive success we also estimated the ploidy levels among the genotypes of these tree species. Four genotypes of Z. mauritiana and Z. jujube each, and two natural selections of Z. spina-christi were grown in the Negev highlands at the Sde Boqer experimental plot. Field observations were conducted to determine seasonal growth stages and floral biology; laboratory studies included florescent microscopy, differential interference contrast microscopy, in vitro pollen germination and histological techniques. Seasonal growth stages were similar in Z. spina-christi and Z. mauritiana but distinct in Z. jujube, which was the earliest species. Flower opening stages were similar in all species and genotypes. Anthesis timing was genotype specific and did not depend on species. Anthesis types were subdivided into early and late morning as well as afternoon. We found a wide range of values for the number of flowers per inflorescence between species and genotypes, but all genotypes set one fruit per inflorescence with the exception of Z. jujube genotype Tamar, which set two fruit per inflorescence. Significant variation in fruit weight was observed between species as well as genotypes. Fruit of Z. mauritiana and Z jujube weighed between 9 to 37 g while fruit weight of Z. spina-christi was between 0.5 to 0.7 g. Flowers of all species and genotypes had two ovules but viable seed set per fruit differed dramatically between species under open pollination. Viable seed set was about 18% for Z. mauritiana and Z jujube, while Z. spina-christi, had the highest viable seed set at about 84%. Histological analysis revealed post fertilization embryo abortion which may be responsible for the relatively low reproductive success in Z. mauritiana and Z. jujube..

Jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) is of great importance due to its medicinal properties and nutritional value. The current investigation was carried out to assess phenotypic variation of naturally grown accessions of this species. The accessions investigated exhibited meaningful variabilities based on the recorded characters. Fruit fresh weight ranged from 0.36 to 3.83 g with an average of 1.16, fruit dry weight varied from 0.21 to 3.04 g with an average of 0.80, and fruit flesh thickness varied from 1.24 to 8.51 mm. Skin color showed large variabilities among the accessions, including maroon‐yellow, light maroon, maroon, dark maroon, light brown, brown, dark brown, and maroon‐crimson. Principal component analysis (PCA) determined the characters influencing the most variation among the accessions. Cluster analysis performed with the Euclidean distance and Ward's method divided the accessions into two main clusters. The present findings provided essential data about the morphological traits of Z. jujube that can be used for the selection of superior genotypes and development of the fruit processing industry. Besides, the available results can be useful in designing conservation strategies and breeding of Z. jujube.

Indian jujube (Ziziphus mauritiana Lamk., Rhamnaceae family) is rich in nutritional and medicinal properties. Tropical regions of South Asia, Australia, and Africa are its main distribution centers (Pasternak et al., 2009). In the arid and semi-arid regions, this plant is multipurpose and also can be used to prevent soil erosion (Gupta, 2018;Pareek, 2001). It has been confirmed that Indian jujube has high tolerance to salinity, drought, flooding, and withering (Grice, 1997). The medicinal and nutritional benefits of this plant have led to its attention. Vitamins are detected in its fruits. It is used as a sedative and anticancer. Also, it is suitable as wound healer and also against asthma (
