Abstract

In order to evaluate the effect of rootstocks on fruit flavonoid content (hesperidin and naringin) of mandarin, an experiment was conducted in a completely randomized block design with 3 replications. Eight rootstocks including sour Orange, Yuzu, Bakraee, Shangsha, Citromelo, Cleopatra, Troyer citrange and Poncirus were used for page mandarin. Also the variation of hesperidin and naringin amounts of five different mandarins including Unshiu, Clementine, Bam, Minneola tangelo and Dancy grafted on the Citrange rootstock were studied. Results showed that the highest amount of naringin was observed in fruit pulp grafted on Poncirus. On the contrary, no significant difference in the content of hesperidin was observed among different rootstocks. No meaningful difference in the content of naringin was observed in both pulp and skin of fruit under the effect of different rootstocks. It has been cleared that, the highest amount of hesperididin of pulp and skin was observed in Bam and Unshiu varietie 15/2 and 1/8 mg/100g FW srespectively. Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that rootstock not only influences the morphological characteristics of plant, but also the nutritional and pharmaceutical properties of mandarin affect by rootstock. Based on the findings it seems that among studied cultivars Unshiu mandarin and among the rootstocks Poncirus able to produce the best pharmaceutically qualitative fruits.
