Abstract
Hippophae rhamnoides L., also known sea buckthorn, is a member of the family Elaeagnaceae.
It is a fascinating plant that grows widely in various regions of Asia, Europe, and North America, from longitude 2 to 123°E, latitude 27 to 69°N, and from 0 to 3300 m above sea level.
Sea buckthorn has proven to be highly adaptable to extreme conditions, including temperatures from -43 to 40°C, drought, high altitude, salinity, alkalinity, and inundation.
The broad geographical distribution and diverse growing conditions may contribute to the extensive diversity of sea buckthorn.
Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) is recognized as an important horticultural plant and more scientific studies have been conducted on this plant recently.
The leaves, flowers, seeds and fruits have been used as medicine for centuries, in particular by local communities.
The plant is considered a super food, and its fruits especially contain high levels of vitamins A, B1, B2, B6 and C, as well as other bioactive compounds that are very important for human health.
It’s traditionally used to slow down the aging process.
In various sea buckthorn-growing countries, people use sea buckthorn for burns, eczema, acne, indigestion, high blood pressure, wrinkled skin and many other purposes.
In the present study, a large number of seed-derived sea buckthorn genotypes with a high level of heterozygosity were used for the analyses of total soluble solid (TSS), pH and total acidity.
The genotypes differed from each other in terms of the biochemical characteristics examined.
In the fruits of the 96 genotypes examined, TSS, pH and total acidity were between 7.6 and 18.4%; 2.2-2.9 and 2.22-4.62%, respectively.
The results indicated that there was sufficient diversity in the above traits that could be important for both breeding and the sea buckthorn industry.
