A Comparative Taxonomic Study of Pomegranate Plants Punica Granatum and Linna and the Physiological Diseases that Affect it in Kirkuk Governorate
Abstract
The current research dealt with a comparative taxonomic study of the Pomegranate plant Punica granum, which belongs to the Pomegranate family Punica ceae. Where the extent to which this plant is affected by environmental conditions in many areas in Kirkuk Governorate was clarified, the research was conducted in Al-Zab district (Sharia village, Ranji village), Hawija district, Al-Abadat village / Daquq district, Kirkuk governorate. The phenotypic study included the characteristics of stems, leaves, flower heads and quantitative and qualitative reproductive organs, and it was found that these traits have great taxonomic importance and the variations within the traits were discussed. The current study showed that the studied pomegranate varieties have been infected with some physiological diseases such as cracking fruits and sun blight
