“…The fruit of P. protopunica Balf. is round, pommel-shaped, with a maximum diameter of 3 cm and a characteristic yellow-greenish or red-brown color when ripe, is smaller, evergreen, with white seeds and less sweet than Punica granatum L. [ 20 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 ]. Table 2 shows morphological characteristics of the species.…”

“…Recently, Youssef et al, [ 33 ] analyzed genetic diversity and the relationship between P. protopunica Balf. and eleven accessions of P. granatum L. (from Egypt, México and Yemen), using the following molecular markers: (1) amplified sequence-related polymorphism (SRAP); (2) amplification polymorphism of the target region (TRAP); (3) amplified intron-directed polymorphism (ITAP); and (4) sequence analysis of the pgWD40 gene (involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis).…”

Punica protopunica Balf. is one of only two species housed by the Punica genera. Punica protopunica. Balf., known as Socotran pomegranate, is an endemic, isolated species found only in Socotra archipelago in the northwestern Indian Ocean, and is considered to be the ancestor of pomegranate. This review stems from the fact that in many Punica granatum L. articles, Punica protopunica Balf. is mentioned, but just in an informative way, without mentioning their taxonomic and genetic relationship and their medicinal properties. It is there where the need arises to know more about this forgotten species: “the other pomegranate tree.” A large part of the human population does not know of its existence, since only its “sister” has spread throughout the world. The present review deals with the taxonomy and origin of Punica protopunica Balf., the morphology of the tree, distribution, cultivation, vulnerability, and as well as its relationship with Punica granatum L. It also discusses its uses in traditional medicine, its antioxidant capacity, and the medicinal properties of this forgotten species.

“…Pomegranate is known for its nutritional, medicinal, and ornamental importance [1] .The fruit is popular due to the organoleptic characteristics of its arils, as well as its nutritional and therapeutic values, which are useful in the treatment of cancer, indigestion, leprosy and various chronic diseases [2][3][4] . The plant has high adaptive capacity, as a crop, pomegranate is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical areas [5] .If pomegranate trees are not pruned and allowed to grow naturally, they often sprout from the rhizosphere. The sprouted tillers will not bear fruit, but only consume nutrients, slow down the growth of pomegranate trees and have no effect on high-yield tree structure.This kind of tiller will also cause disorder of branches in the crown and poor illumination in the inner chamber of the tree, which may not only cause the fruit tree to grow leaves without flowering, but also make the fruiting part move outward, and the branches will be weak and die, which will eventually lead to premature aging of the fruit tree [6] .…”

In order to liberate manual labor, reduce Labor burden and improve the efficiency of cutting pomegranate sprouts, this paper designed a pomegranate sprout cutting machine. Based on SOLIDWORKS software, 3D digital design and overall assembly of key components were carried out; Adopting PLC FX3U-32MT to control the stepper motor, cylinder and other related execution components, achieving the removal of sprouts and the removal of interfering branches and leaves; Control the actual operation of related structures using the MCGS configuration software control interface. Real time determination of cutting position, achieving the cutting of sprouts under different growth conditions. According to experimental measurements, the removal rate of sprouts in this device can reach 74.62%, and the damage rate can reach 18%. This device can promote the development of mechanical semi-automatic cutting in the field of pomegranate sprouting.
