The morphological characters and the component analysis of the seeds and fruit of Rosa acicularis were studied.The results showed that:① The fruit of Rosa acicularis is red berry,1.5-2.5 cm length,0.8-1.0 cm in the most diameter,with white powder on surface,containing 1-12 seeds.The seed,close to oval-shaped,is covered with white film;seed coat color khaki or brown.The size of seed is 4.58 mm×2.21 mm,the single seed weight is 12.82 mg.② The seeds contains total sugar 124.2 mg/g,significantly higher than crude fat(71.0 mg/g),ash(16.5 mg/g),soluble sugar(11.7 mg/g),protein(1.7 mg/g),free amino acid(0.2 mg/g),and the other contents of the composition.③ The berries contain total sugar 44.6 mg/g,tartaric acid 4.5 mg/g,malic acid 4.0 mg/g,tannins 3.3 mg/g,lysine 4.1 mg/g,tryptophan 1.8 mg/g,free amino acids 0.4 mg/g,protein 1.2 mg/g,vitamin C 2.723 mg/g,SOD 1 482.3 U/g and some mineral elements.Of all the nutrients,Vc content is much higher than apples,pears and other fruits which are in the same family,and SOD content is three times as Rosa roxburghii's berries.So the Berberis amurensis will have a broad prospect as a source of wild fruit to be developed.
