| Abstract: |
| The indexes of Lycium barbarum, morphological characteristics of fruits,and varieties of polysaccharide and total sugar contents from five provinces, Inner Mongolia, Qinghai, Ningxia, Xinjiang and Gansu with seven different producing areas in Ningxia, were investigated and analyzed. Based on the local meteorological data, the correlation between the meteorological factors and the morphological appearance of Lycium barbarum fruit was analyzed, and fruits’ appearance indexes in seven producing areas were estimated using the principal component analysis, the fruit sizes were ranked. The results showed that the fruit of Nuomuhong farm, Jingyuan county and Jinghe county were relatively large, while Yinchuan and Zhongning county were relatively small. The altitude and mean temperature were the main factors influencing the fruit morphology . The higher the altitude, the lower the mean temperature, resulted in the bigger and longer the fruit; The fruit produced in Zhongning county of Ningxia had the highest content of polysaccharide reaching 7.525 g·100g-1, which was significantly higher than that in other areas (P<0.05), but the content of total sugar was the lowest. The content of total sugar in the fruit was higher in Inner Mongolia Hangjinhouqi, Nuomuhong farm of Qinghai and Wulateqianqi of Inner Mongolia. The findings would not only provide the theoretical basis for the positioning of medicinal Lycium barbarum cultivation and planting area, but also provide a data base for the comprehensive evaluation of Lycium barbarum quality in different wolfberry producing areas. |
