Abstract：Two different pomegranate varieties'Taishanhong'(TSH) and'Taishansanbaitian'(SBT) were used as materials,and the content of six mineral elements including calcium (Ca),magnesium (Mg),iron (Fe),manganese (Mn),copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) in leaves and pericarp were determined during the fruit development.The results showed that the Ca and Mg contents in the leaves and pericarp of TSH were significantly higher than those in SBT throughout all the development period,and their change curves were consistent in the two varieties.The Fe content in leaves and pericarp of TSH was significantly higher compared to SBT during 4 ～ 12 weeks after flowering,but after 16 weeks,the Fe content in SBT increased more rapidly.The Mn content in leaves of SBT were significantly higher than that of TSH,while that in pericarp of SBT was significantly lower than that of TSH.The Zn content in TSH leaves was significantly higher than that in SBT during the fruit development expect the 4th week after flowering,and there was no significant difference in the pericarp between the two varieties.The Cu content was low in the leaves and changed inconformity between the two varieties,and it was not detected in the pericarp of the two varieties.The element contents in leaves and pericarp during the pomegranate fruit development had a certain correlation with each other.
