Product Development of Sea Buckthorn Thomas S.C. Li INTRODUCTION Sea buckthorn ( Hippophae rhamnoides L., Elaeagnaceae) is a hardy, deciduous, dioecious, and usually spinescent shrub (Rousi 1971). It reaches 2–4 m in height in natural habitats and bears yellow or orange-red berries, referred to as “Siberian pineapple” in Russia , because of its taste and juiciness (Abartene and Malakhovskis 1975). The natural habitat of sea buckthorn extends widely in China , Mongolia , Russia , and most parts of Northern Europe . It is a unique and valuable plant currently cultivated in various parts of the world, including Canada (Li and Shroeder 1999). It can withstand extreme temperatures from –43° to 40°C and is considered to be drought resistant. However, irrigation is needed in regions receiving less than 400...

ASHS Press, Alexandria , VA. N. Jeppsson, I.V. Bartish, and H.A. Persson RAPD METHODOLOGY GENETIC VARIABILITY GENDER DETERMINATION CONCLUSIONS REFERENCES Sea buckthorn ( Hippophae rhamnoides L., Elaeagnaceae) is a dioecious windpollinated shrub with nitrogen fixing ability. The berries have bright colors, varying from yellow, orange to red. Domestication of sea buckthorn started in Siberia in the 1930s (Kalinina and Panteleyeva 1987). Local germplasm (ssp. mongolica ) from the Altai mountains was used in the onset of the breeding. Breeding projects have, later on, been initiated also in other countries such as Germany (Albrecht 1990), Finland (Yao and Tigerstedt 1994), China (Huang 1995), and Canada (Li and Schroeder 1996).

  Sea Buckthorn: New Crop Opportunity Thomas S.C. Li BOTANY NUTRACEUTICAL VALUES NEW CULTIVAR: INDIAN-SUMMER SEA BUCKTHORN CULTIVATION CONCLUSION REFERENCES Sea buckthorn ( Hippophae rhamnoides L., Elaeagnaceae) is a winter hardy, deciduous shrub with yellow or orange berries (Bailey and Bailey 1978). It develops an extensive root system rapidly and is therefore an ideal plant for preventing soil erosion and land reclamation. It can withstand temperatures from –43° to 40°C (Lu 1992). It is considered to be drought resistant (Heinze and Fiedler 1981); however, irrigation is needed in regions receiving <400 mm of rainfall per year for better growth (Li and Schroeder 1996). BOTANY Sea buckthorn is a dioecious multi-branched, thorny shrub, reaching 2 to 4 m in height with stout branches forming a round often symmetrical head. It has brown or black rough bark and a thick grayish-green crown (Rousi 1971). Stami...
