Genotypic distinctions of variability of biochemical composition of fruits of Vacciniaceae species under conditions of Belarus

Abstract

Result of research of quantitative characteristics of biochemical composition of fruits of 30 taxons of 3 Vacciniaceae species (such as V. corymbosum L. (highbush blueberry), V. vitis-idaea L. (lingonberry) and Oxycoccus macrocarpus (Ait.) Pers. (cranberry)) inter-specific distinctions of a degree of stability of its separate components to complex influence of meteorological factors are revealed by 32 parameters (traits) describing the contents in fruits of some organic acids, carbohydrates, phenolic compounds, terpenoids and major mineral elements are presented. The cultivars possessing by the greatest and accordingly by the least levels of dependence on abiotic factors are identified.
