S.H. Jalikop
Pomegranate belongs to family Punicacae with 2n=16 or 18 chromosomes. The genus Punica has two species viz., granatum and protopunica and is native to Iran. The fruit has wide consumer preference for its attractive juicy, sweet acidity and refreshing arils. Large genetic variation accumulated in pomegranate and there are several cultivars, and new Cultivars can be generated by hybridization selections or by direct selections.
