Narrative
Aronia x mitschurinii is an intergeneric hybrid [(Sorbus aucuparia x Aronia melanocarpa) x Aronia] characterized by more robust stems, wider leaf blades, and larger fruits than wild, native North American A. melanocarpa (Leonard et al. 2013). Majority of Aronia x mitschurinii cultivars used in aronia berry production display indistinguishable phenotypes (Brand et al. 2017). Majority of the research on Aronia fruit polyphenol and anthocyanin content/composition and the health benefits of aronia consumption has been conducted using A. mitschurinii, rather than A. melanocarpa creating a lack of understanding about Aronia taxonomy and genetics (Brand et al. 2017). A. mitschurinii contains more water, less anthocyanins, less phenolics and lower ORACFL values in comparison to many wild Aronia genotypes (Brand et al. 2017). Wild Aronia genotypes may be used directly for commercial fruit production, but they lack the horticultural traits necessary for mechanical harvesting and overall yield.
