Basic scientific achievements

For the first time, has been comprehensively studied the chemical composition of various organs of Punica granatum, growing in some regions of Azerbaijan by using modern chromatographic and spectral methods. It was found that the composition and content of various groups of biologically active substances in the juice of P. granatum samples from different places of plant growth are determined by soil and climatic factors of the environment. Samples, which were collected from areas with hot climates and saline soils, contained high amounts of anthocyanins and punicalagin, while samples, collected from regions with a temperate climate and dark loamy soils, were characterized by a high content of ellagic acid and its glycated derivative. For the first time, the assessment of the state of ceonopopulations of wild-growing pomegranate in various ecological-ceonotic conditions was carried out, based on the results of which the ontogenetic spectra of ceonopopulations were compiled. For the first time, using identification keys of the decimal coding system BBCH, the stages of pomegranate development were described, the timing of phenophases was determined, a phenological spectrum was compiled, and an ecological-phenological analysis was carried out. Esri ArcGIS Desktop 10.2 software was used in mapping wild-growing pomegranate thickets in order to assess their resource potential and raw material value, and with subsequent visualization of areas that are most promising for harvesting raw materials. The results allowed us to identify samples with high quality characteristics of the fruit and a sufficient supply for the potential commercial production of medicinal, cosmetic products, as well as food additives based on this plant, and samples with low reserves, but with high quality indicators, as selection and introduction material.
