Abstract: 【Objective】 The objective of present study is to analyze the effects of parents on inheritance of sugar and acid contents in blueberry fruit, to provide a basis for selecting parents in cross breeding. 【Method】 Sugar and acid contents of southern high bush blueberry ‘Sapphire’ ( high sugar and high acid type), northern high bush blueberry ‘Berkeley’ (middle sugar and low acid type) and their reciprocal cross progenies were investigated with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. 【Result】 Fructose and glucose were the major components of sugar, while citric acid and tartaric acid were the major components of acid. The reciprocal populations exhibited a wide phenotypic variation in fructose, glucose, total sugar, tartaric acid, citric acid and total acid contents where the coefficient of variation (CV) of sugar and acid contents were more than 15% and 30%, respectively, and the range of acid contents was higher than that of sugar contents, indicating that there was a bigger selecting potential for acid content. Mean sugar and acid contents of reciprocal cross progenies were lower than mid-parental values, showing a tendency of depression. The mean sugar contents of progenies inclined to low sugar parent, while the mean acid contents inclined to paternal parent value. The individual and total sugar contents presented a normal distribution, implying sugar contents are quantitative traits and controlled by polygenenes, while individual and total acid presented a skewed distribution, implying acid contents are quantitative traits and may be controlled by both major gene and polygenes. The broad sense heritability (H2) of fructose, glucose, total sugar, citric acid and total acid contents were ranged from 0.66 to 0.86, in which the highest was fructose (0.84 and 0.86 in the reciprocal populations, respectively), indicating that the variations of these traits mainly resulted from inheritance, and they were mainly affected by additive effect, while the H2 of tartaric acid was the lowest (0.22 and 0.30 in the reciprocal populations, respectively), indicating that the variation of tartaric acid is greatly affected by environment factors. 【Conclusion】 The blueberry reciprocal populations exhibited a wide phenotypic variation in both sugar and acid contents, mean sugar and acid contents of progenies were lower than mid-parental values. The sugars contents presented a normal distribution, and were the quantitative traits and controlled by polygenenes. The mean sugar contents of progenies come close to low sugar parent, there exists maternal inheritance on the sugar contents, while the mean acid contents come close to paternal value and were mainly affected by paternal parent.
