S. Giovanni Varieties ( L.): Antioxidant Properties and Phytochemical Characteristics.

In order to evaluate and identify the antioxidant properties and the phytochemical characteristics, as well as the role of the genetic background and the different fruit parts in the definition of fruit quality, we characterized the existing germplasm through nuclear simple sequence repeats (SSRs) and evaluated the genetic divergence between ancient S. Giovanni varieties ( L.) and different types of grafting in relation to some variables of fruit quality.
