摘要

Wild Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is a deciduous shrub or small tree, belonging to the family Lythraceae which grows at elevation ranging between 600 to 1920 masl. The study investigates the morphological and reproductive traits across diverse climatic conditions in the Jammu Division (J&K). The species displays polygamous condition, characterized by the presence of both andromonoecious and male plants in populations, with the former plant bearing both hermaphrodite and male flowers, while the latter functioning as pollen donar. Floral morphology reveals distinct differences in reproductive structures, supporting cross-pollination through heterostyly. Duration of flowering varies with altitude and temperature. Fruit size and weight are significantly influenced by environmental factors, high-altitude fruits being larger and heavier. These findings provide insights into how phenological events are affected and support the conservation of elite genotype under changing environmental conditions.
