“…Although a native of China, the common name Japanese plum is used because the first imports of this fruit tree to the USA were from Japan. Modern Japanese plum cultivars are predominantly P. salicina but also include other species due to Luther Burbank's early breeding work and the subsequent use of his cultivars as parents . Other species present in modern Japanese plums are Prunus simonii Carr., Prunus cerasifera Ehrh., Prunus americana Marsh.…”

Previous reviews of plum phytochemical content and health benefits have concentrated on the European plum, Prunus domestica L. However, the potential bioactivity of red- and dark red-fleshed Japanese plums, Prunus salicina Lindl., so-called blood plums, appears to warrant a significant increase in exposure, as indicated in a recent review of the whole Prunus genus. Furthermore, Japanese plums are the predominant plum produced on an international basis. In this review the nutrient and phytochemical content, breeding, horticultural practice, postharvest treatment and processing as well as bioactivity (emphasising in vivo studies) of Japanese plum are considered, with a focus on the anthocyanin content that distinguishes the blood plums.

“…Between 19 and 40 different species of plum exist. Of these, only 2, the hexaploid European plum (Prunus domestica) and the diploid Japanese plum (Prunus salicina and hybrids), are of commercial significance across the globe (Topp et al, 2012). The nutritional composition of the two species is considered similar ( Table 1).…”

In recent times, plums have been described as foods with health-promoting properties. Research on the health effects of plum continue to show promising results on its antiinflammatory, antioxidant and memory-improving characteristics. The increased interest in plum research has been attributed to its high phenolic content, mostly the anthocyanins, which are known to be natural antioxidants. A systematic review of literature was carried out to summarize the available evidence on the impact of plums (Prunus species; domestica and salicina) on disease risk factors and health outcomes. A number of databases were searched according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines for relevant studies on plum health effects in vitro, animal studies and clinical trials. A total of 73 relevant peer-reviewed journal articles were included in this review. The level of evidence remains low. Of the 25 human studies, 6 were confirmatory studies of moderate quality, while 19 were exploratory. Plums have been shown to possess antioxidant and antiallergic properties, and consumption is associated with improved cognitive function, bone health parameters and cardiovascular risk factors. Most of the human trials used the dried version of plums rather than fresh fruit, thus limiting translation to dietary messages of the positioning of plums in a healthy diet. Evidence on the health effect of plums has not been extensively studied, and the available evidence needs further confirmation. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…The discoveries of plum stones in tombs of ancient Chinese people and an in-depth description of plum in the Book of Odes 2,3 , a collection of poems dating from 1,100 BC to 600 BC, suggested that plum has been cultivated and popular in China for over 3,000 years. Chinese plum was transported to Japan over 2,000 years ago and was introduced into the USA in the 1870s 1,4 . It was estimated that Chinese plum and its hybrids account for over 70% of the world's global plum production 1 .…”

Chinese plum (Prunus salicina Lindl.) is a stone fruit that belongs to the Prunus genus and plays an important role in the global production of plum. In this study, we report the genome sequence of the Chinese plum ‘Sanyueli’ (P. salicina Lindl.), which is known to have a low-chill requirement. The assembled genome size was 308.06 Mb, with a contig N50 of 815.7 kb. A total of 30,159 protein-coding genes was predicted from the genome and 56.42% (173.39 Mb) of the genome was annotated as repetitive sequence. Bud dormancy is influenced by chilling requirement in plum and partly controlled by DORMANCY ASSOCIATED MADS-box (DAM) genes. Six tandemly arrayed PsDAM genes were identified in the assembled genome. Sequence analysis of PsDAM6 in ‘Sanyueli’revealed the presence of large insertions in the intron and exon regions. Transcriptome analysis indicated that the expression of PsDAM6 in the dormant flower buds of ‘Sanyueli’ was significantly lower than that in the dormant flower buds of the high chill requiring ‘Furongli’ plum. In addition, the expression of PsDAM6 was repressed by chilling treatment. The genome sequence of ‘Sanyueli’ plum provides a valuable resource for elucidating the molecular mechanisms responsible for the regulation of chilling requirements, and it also useful for the identification of the genes involved in the control of other important agronomic traits and molecular breeding in plum.
