Résumé
While water availability is important for quality at harvest, it also continues to influence the quality of pomegranates during storage. Reducing the amount of irrigation, in addition to water saving has different effects on bioactive compounds of pomegranate during storage time. This study was conducted to determine the influence of irrigation level on fruit quality changes during storage period of two commercial Iranian pomegranate cultivars ('Shishecap' and 'Malas-Yazdi'). Sustained deficit irrigation (SDI) was applied to plants that received 75% (moderate stress) or 50% (severe stress) of their normal water requirement. A control group received 100% of their water requirement. At harvest time and during storage period, fruit weight loss and some biochemical traits such as fruit total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA), pH, total phenolic compounds (TPC), total anthocyanins content (TAC), antioxidant activity and vitamin C were measured in pomegranate fruits. Also, the quantity of the produced product was also measured at the time of harvesting. Results indicated that control fruits exhibited more weight loss than those produced under water deficit during the storage period in both years. According to results, fruit TSS, TAC, and antioxidant activity significantly increased during storage period but fruit TA and vitamin C significantly decreased throughout storage period. Also, reduction in irrigation level resulted in a decline in the yield. This study revealed a crucial link between irrigation level and the quality of pomegranate fruits, despite a reduction in the yield. This included affecting weight loss and the content of bioactive compounds, both at harvest and during storage.

BACKGROUND
While water availability is important for quality at harvest, it also continues to influence the quality of pomegranates during storage. Reducing the amount of irrigation, in addition to water saving has different effects on bioactive compounds of pomegranate during storage time. This study was conducted to determine the influence of irrigation level on fruit quality changes during storage period of two commercial Iranian pomegranate cultivars ('Shishecap' and 'Malas-Yazdi'). Sustained deficit irrigation (SDI) was applied to plants that received 75% (moderate stress) or 50% (severe stress) of their normal water requirement.

RESULTS
RESULTS
At harvest time and during storage period, fruit weight loss and some biochemical traits such as fruit total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA), pH, total phenolic compounds (TPC), total anthocyanins content (TAC), antioxidant activity and vitamin C were measured in pomegranate fruits. Also, the quantity of the produced product was also measured at the time of harvesting. Results indicated that control fruits exhibited more weight loss than those produced under water deficit during the storage period in both years. According to results, fruit TSS, TAC, and antioxidant activity significantly increased during storage period but fruit TA and vitamin C significantly decreased throughout storage period. Also, reduction in irrigation level resulted in a decline in the yield.
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
This study revealed a crucial link between irrigation level and the quality of pomegranate fruits, despite a reduction in the yield. This included affecting weight loss and the content of bioactive compounds, both at harvest and during storage.
