Highlights: [•] Fruit growth of two commercial pomegranate cultivars were studied over two seasons. [•] Significant variations in fruit morphology, respiration and physico-textural properties of the fruit were found. [•] These findings would allow growers to have a tool to select and monitoring fruit maturation in other to meet export market requirements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
