  • Pepper Anthracnose in the Philippines: Knowledge Review and Molecular Detection of Colletotrichum Acutatum Sensu Lato
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 16 July 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202007.0355.v1 Pepper anthracnose in the Philippines: knowledge review and molecular detection of Colletotrichum acutatum sensu lato Mark Angelo Balendres* and Fe Dela Cueva Institute of Plant Breeding, College of Agriculture and Food Science, University of the Philippines Los Baños, Laguna, Philippines 4031 * Corresponding Author: M. A. Balendres ([email protected]) Abstract This paper reviews the current knowledge of pepper anthracnose in the Philippines. We present research outputs on pepper anthracnose from the last three years. Then, we present evidence of the widespread occurrence of C. acutatum sensu lato in the Philippines. Finally, we highlight some research prospects that would contribute towards developing an integrated anthracnose management program. Keywords: Colletotrichum truncatum, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, chilli anthracnose, polymerase chain reaction assay, disease distribution I. Knowledge review of pepper anthracnose in the Philippines Pepper in the Philippines Pepper (Capsicum sp.) is an important vegetable crop in the family Solanaceae. It is mainly added as a spice or condiment in various dishes. In the Philippines, there is a demand for pepper in both the fresh and processing markets. However, it is a relatively small industry compared to other vegetable crops, e.g., tomato. The Cordillera and Northern Mindanao regions produce the most but, other areas, e.g., in the CALABARZON and Central Luzon, also steadily produce pepper. The price of pepper can reach to as high as Php1,000 per Kg (USD 20), making pepper cultivation attractive to small-scale growers as a source of income. Within three months, depending on the pepper variety, growers can start harvesting the fruits, that could last to several priming’s (harvests).

  • Antibacterial Activities of Endophytic Fungi from Capsicum Annuum L. (Siling Labuyo) Leaves and Fruits
    BU R&D Journal 22 (1): 60-69, July 2019 | ISSN (Print): 0016-4139 journal.bicol-u.edu.ph Antibacterial Activities of Endophytic Fungi from Capsicum annuum L. (Siling labuyo) leaves and fruits Eliza Ann A. Arena, Mae Breech R. Bernal, and Jazzlyn T. Imperial* Bicol University College of Science, Legazpi City *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Endophytic fungi were isolated from Capsicum annuum (siling labuyo) from three ecological zones in the province of Albay, Philippines and were identified through morpho-cultural characteristics and by molecular analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the 18S ribosomal DNA. Eight fungal endophytes were isolated from the leaves and fruits. Seven were identified as Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Lasiodiplodia pseudotheobromae, Nigrospora sphaerica, Guignardia mangiferae, Coprinopsis cinerea, Colletotrichum siamense and Colletotrichum truncatum while one remained unidentified. The extracted metabolites from the isolates were then screened for their antibacterial activities at 1,000 µg/mL. Among the fungal isolates, C. cinerea was found to be the most active against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli with zones of inhibition (ZOI) of 16.00 ± 1.00 and 17.00 ± 1.53 mm, respectively. Phytochemical screening showed that C. cinerea produced a variety of secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids and quinones. The other fungal endophytes were also found to synthesize various secondary compounds that may be responsible for their antibacterial activities.

  • An Application of Image Processing and Fuzzy Logic
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 9, ISSUE 02, FEBRUARY 2020 ISSN 2277-8616 Bell Pepper And Chili Pepper Classification: An Application Of Image Processing And Fuzzy Logic Eldrin James Olaes, Edwin R. Arboleda, Jesusimo L. Dioses Jr. and Rhowel M. Dellosa Abstract: Bell pepper is often called sweet pepper and capsicum in other countries. Peppers are well-known for their different colors and uses. Capsicum peppers contain abundant antioxidants and vitamin C. In comparison to red peppers, it has nine times the level of carotene, such as lycopene which is claimed to improved heart health and reduce cancer risk. While, chili pepper, better known as ―Siling Labuyo‖ in the Philippines, is the fruit from the Genus capsicum plant, a member of the nightshade family, Solanaceae. These two kinds of pepper are commonly used as an ingredient for a different type of foods in the Philippines. Bell pepper is typically used in Filipino recipes to enhance its flavor and makes it smell better, while chili peppers are used to enhance the spiciness of the food. In this paper, the methods to be used in classifying differences of the seeds of bell pepper and chili pepper are image processing, fuzzy logic and K nearest neighbor. The morphological features of the seeds such as area, equivalent diameter, perimeter, and roundness in the gathered data from 60 samples of bell pepper and chili pepper seeds have been analyzed to classify bell pepper and chili pepper’s seeds characteristics. The fuzzy logic has been employed to determine the degrees of truth between truth and false instead of the common that only identifies truth and false.

    International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN (Online): 2319-7064 Index Copernicus Value (2016): 79.57 | Impact Factor (2017): 7.296 Effects of Capsicum frutescens L. (Siling Labuyo) on the Sexual Behavior of Male Rattus norvegicus (Albino Rats) Michael C. Guyamin1, Marinella L. Guda2, Rikki Mae U. Palec3 1, 2, 3Biological Sciences Department, College of Science and Computer Studies, De La Salle University-Dasmariñas, Cavite, Philippines Abstract: Among the traditionally used sex enhancement natural remedies in the Philippines, C. frutescens is popular for its quick onset of action involving its chemical content, capsaicin. However, its use has not been scientifically validated. Aphrodisiac activity of the test substance was evaluated in terms of exhibited sexual behavior. In order to assess the effect of C. frutescens, Mount latency (ML), intromission latency (IL), ejaculation latency (EL), mount frequency (MF), intromission frequency (IF), ejaculation frequency (EF), and post-ejaculatory interval (PEI) were carried out as the parameters. Sixteen male albino rats were divided into the following groups: T0 being the control group and T1, T2, T3 with different concentration of the test substance at 5%, 10% and 15%, respectively. The route of administration for all the groups was oral gavage, which was done once a day for 12 days. The mating behaviour was analyzed with the help of the female rats and was observed for 30 minutes, every four days. The administration of the extract resulted in significant increase in mount frequency, intromission frequency, ejaculation frequency and ejaculation latency. However, the mount latency, intromission latency and post ejaculation interval were significantly decreased throughout the experimental period.

Capsaicin is one of many related chemicals, collectively called capsaicinoids. The scale is named after its creator, American pharmacist Wilbur Scoville. His method, devised in 1912, is known as the Scoville Organoleptic Test.[2] Unlike methods based on high-performance liquid chromatography, the Scoville scale is a subjective measurement dependent on the capsaicin sensitivity of testers and so is not a precise or accurate method to measure capsaicinoid concentration.[citation needed] Considerations[edit] Since Scoville ratings are defined per unit of dry mass, comparison of ratings between products
