Abstract: 【Objective】 The aim of this study is to provide a basis for the evaluation and utilization of plum cultivar resources by measuring the components of sugars and organic acids in fruits of Prunus species.【Method】The sugar and organic acid contents in 57 representative accessions of plum, including eight Prunus species, four wild types of European plum and three plum × apricot hybrids, were detected using the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. 【Result】 The highest content of the total soluble sugar, including sucrose, fructose, glucose and sorbitol, existed in Prunus simonii Carr, followed by P. salicina Lindl., P. ussuriensis Kov.et Kost. and P. domestica L., while the lowest existed in P. cerasifera Enrhart. A significant difference in sucrose contents was observed among plum species. No sucrose was detected in P. cerasifera, P. americana Marsh, P. spinosa L. and wild type of P. domestica L., but a middle concentrations in P. domestica, P. nigra Ait. and plum×apricot hybrids, and a high concentrations in P. simonii, P. salicina and P. ussuriensis were detected. The sugar components were similar in P. domestica, wild type of P. domestica and P. spinosa, mainly containing glucose and sorbitol. P. cerasifera contained the highest total organic acid content, followed by wild type of P. domestica and P. spinosa, while P. ussuriensis contained the lowest. The main organic acids in P. domestica were quinic and malic acids, accounting for 93.12% of the total acids, while malic acid was main organic acid, accounting for more than 60% of total acids in other species. A high content of quinic acid was also detected in P. cerasifera, P. americana, P. nigra, P. spinosa and wild type of P. domestica in comparison with malic acids. The first three PCs accounted for 71.26% of total variance, indicating the sugar and acid component profile in Prunus species. 【Conclusion】 In the cultivated species of plum, except P. domestica, sucrose is the main sugar, followed by glucose and fructose, and malic acid is main organic acid components, while in wild Prunus species, fructose and glucose are main sugar components, followed by sorbitol, and malic and quinic acids are main organic acid components. A high glucose and sorbitol in sugar components and a high quinic and malic acids in organic acid components presented in cultivated P. domestica, while the main sugar and organic acid components are sucrose and malic acid in P. salicina, which contributed to the special flavors of P. domestica and P. salicina.
