  • Dragon Fruit & APPLIED SCIENCES FS 5 - 21
    UNIVERSITY OF GUAM Cooperative Extension & Outreach COLLEGE OF NATURAL Dragon Fruit & APPLIED SCIENCES FS 5 - 21 Dragon Fruit Chelsea Taitano, AJ Ilai, Stewart Johnny, Mark Acosta, and Joe Tuquero Cooperative Extension & Outreach, College of Natural & Applied Sciences, University of Guam Introduction Color Dragon fruit, also known as strawberry pear, pitaya, and pitahaya, is a tropical, climbing vine-like cactus native Species Peel Pulp to the Tropical Central Americas (Crane & Balerdi, Hylocereus undatus Red White 2019). There are over 15 species of dragon fruit (USDA, Hylocereus triangularis Yellow White 2019). In Guam, at least three species can be found in cultivation: Hylocereus undatus, Hylocereus megalanthus Hylocereus contaricenes Red Red (Selenicereus megalanthus), and Hylocereus spp. Hylocereus monacanthus Red Red (unidentified species) (Bamba, personal communication, Hylocereus ocamponis Red Red February 17, 2017). With many varieties and cultivars, in some cases it is difficult to determine species. Depending Hylocereus megalanthus Yellow White on species and varieties, dragon fruit have several Cereus triangularis Yellow White combinations of colors of skin and flesh of mature fruits. Common combinations include red or pink skin with Acanthocereus pitajaya Yellow White white flesh, red skin with pink or red flesh, and yellow Cereus ocamponis Red Red skin with white flesh. Figure 1 depicts common colors of fruits of H.undatus, H. megalanthus, and H. polyrhizus. Table 01. Several species of dragon fruit with skin (peel) and pulp (flesh) color (Crane and Balerdi, 2019). Table 1 lists skin/flesh colors of several species of dragon fruit. Dragon fruit has become a popular fruit in recent years to Guam markets, and has the potential to be a Growing Dragon Fruit profitable commercial local crop.

  • New Fruits for Arid Climates
    Reprinted from: Trends in new crops and new uses. 2002. J. Janick and A. Whipkey (eds.). ASHS Press, Alexandria, VA. New Fruits for Arid Climates Yosef Mizrahi, Avinoam Nerd, and Yaron Sitrit INTRODUCTION In many countries around the world “developers” take the best agricultural lands for housing, and urban- ization spreads rapidly. As a result, the agricultural industries are pushed into less productive lands in which the climate is not the most suitable for crops. A very good example is found in Israel. The best agricultural area is along the Mediterranean coast where the citrus industry flourished for almost a century and is the area where the famous ‘Shamouti’ (syn. Jaffa) orange was found and developed. Later, “Jaffa” became the trade name for the whole successful Israeli citrus industry. Today, most of this area is heavily populated and the agricultural industry is pushed into the Negev Desert where extreme temperatures exist, the soil is less fertile, and water, if available, is saline and/or very expensive. Labor is also less available and very expensive. The government by doing “more of the same” is encouraging the reestablishment of the citrus industry in the Negev and planting olives for oil (Negev of Growth Campaign). Traditional crops in Israel appear to be at the end of their viable economic-life-cycle, but there is hope that new crops could establish a future profitable agricultural industry (Mizrahi and Nerd 1996). New crops could also ameliorate the increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration (greenhouse effect) which increases tem- perature and drought, changing fertile lands into deserts (Mizrahi and Nerd 1996).

  • Thirty-One Years of Research and Development in the Vine Cacti Pitaya in Israel
    Improving Pitaya Production and Marketing THIRTY-ONE YEARS OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT IN THE VINE CACTI PITAYA IN ISRAEL Yosef Mizrahi Department of Life Sciences, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev Beer-Sheva, 8441901, Israel E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Taxonomy: The vine cacti have three genera and many species in each one of them. The genera are: Hylocereus, Selenicereus and Epiphyllum. Only Selenicereus megalanthus combine characteristics of the first two genera. Genetics and breeding: Selenicereus megalanthus is tetraploids (4n) while all others are diploids (2n). We obtained inter-clonal, interspecies, and intergeneric hybrids with much improved characteristics, to the point that today we have new excellent hybrids which can provide fruits from July to May. Physiology: All plants are of the CAM (crassulacean acid metabolism) photosynthetic pathway; hence use 10% of water other plants are using in the same environment. CO2 enrichment increases both the vegetative and reproductive productions. Nitrogen fertilization should accompany the CO2 enrichment to get maximum efficiency. Stomata were found on the fruit surface functioning through the CAM pathway. Stomatal density is much higher on the fruit scale than on the fruit surface. Cytokinins induces and gibberelliic acid (GA3) delays flowering. Scale shrinking is the major reason to shorten the shelf life. Root system is very shallow maximum depth, 40cm. Uses: There are more uses to the plants parts other than the fruit, such as fruit pigments as coloring agents, edible flowers and more. Keywords: cacti, pitaya, dragon fruit, taxonomy, genetics, breeding, physiology, cytokinins, GA3 , flowering, post-harvest INTRODUCTION The vine-cacti pitaya of the Cactaceae, subfamily Cactoideae, tribe Hylocereeae is known to have been used for thousands of years by the indigenous people of the Americas (Ortiz-Hernández and Carrillo-Salazar 2012).

Schum. ex Vaupel) Moran en la provincia de Lengupá Morphological Characterization of Selenicereus megalanthus (K. Schum. ex Vaupel) Moran in the Province of Lengupá Ana Cruz Morilloa* Yeily Paola Tovara Yacenia Morillob Recepción: 13-dic-2015 Aceptación: 28-abr-2016 Abstract The yellow pitahaya Selenicereus megalanthus (K. Schum. ex Vaupel) Moran is an exotic fruit with an interesting market potential both domestically and internationally. The aim of this study was to identify the genetic variability that exists in the municipalities that produce it in the province of Lengupá with a morphological characterization of 25 genetic materials using 27 descriptors, of which 18 were quantitative and 9 were qualitative, for the phylloclades and fruits. The principal component analysis determined that the main morphological characters discriminant of variability are: rib width (RW), height of the undulations between successive areolas in a rib (UH), fruit length (FL), fruit width (FWI), length of the longest apex bract (LAB), equatorial bract length (LEB), fruit weight (FW), peel weight (PW), pulp/peel ratio (PPR), soluble solids (SS), fruit shape (FS). The heirarchical cluster analysis resulted in four groups that corresponded to where the materials were collected. Genetic diversity exists in the yellow pitahaya which must be used in the breeding programs. Key words: Cactaceae, Diversity, Descriptors, Phylloclades. Resumen La pitahaya amarilla, Selenicereus megalanthus (K. Schum. ex Vaupel) Moran, es un frutal exótico, con un interesante potencial de mercado tanto a nivel nacional como internacional.

  • These Fruiting Plants Will Tolerate Occasional Temperatures at Or Below Freezing
    These fruiting plants will tolerate occasional temperatures at or below freezing. Although many prefer temperatures not below 40 degrees F., all will fruit in areas with winter temperatures that get down to 32 degrees F. Some plants may need frost protection when young. Some will survive temperatures into the mid or low 20’s F. or below. Most of these plants have little or no chilling requirements. Chill Hours • As the days become shorter and cooler in fall, some plants stop growing, store energy, and enter a state of dormancy which protects them from the freezing temperatures of winter. (deciduous plants lose their leaves ) Once dormant, a deciduous fruit tree will not resume normal growth, including flowering and fruit set, until it has experienced an amount of cold equal to its minimum “chilling requirement” followed by a certain amount of heat. • A simple and widely used method is the Hours Below 45°F model which equates chilling to the total number of hours below 45°F during the dormant period, autumn leaf fall to spring bud break. These hours are termed “chill hours”. • Chill hour requirements may vary How a fruit tree actually accumulates winter from fruit type to fruit type or chilling is more complex . Research indicates even between cultivars or varieties fruit tree chilling: of the same type of fruit. 1) does not occur below about 30-34°F, 2) occurs also above 45°F to about 55°F, • Chill hour requirements may be as 3) is accumulated most effectively in the 35-50°F high as 800 chill hours or more or range, as low as 100 chill hours or less.

  • Pitaya, Hylocereus Undatus (Haw) - a Potential New Crop for Australia
    PITAYA, HYLOCEREUS UNDATUS (HAW) - A POTENTIAL NEW CROP FOR AUSTRALIA SCIENTIFIC NAME: Hylocereus undatus FAMILY: Cactaceae Background The author, a final year student at Wageningen Agricultural University, Netherlands, spent his practical period (May to September 1997) at the New Crops Program, University of Queensland Gatton College, Lawes, Queensland. Part of the period was dedicated to a literature review and an evaluation of pitaya in Australia, with the cooperation of WANATCA, DPI&F (Department of Primary Industry & Fisheries, Northern Territory), Ben Gurion University (Israel), and growers in Australia. Pitaya was present in a list of forty plants compiled by the organisers of a Tropical Fruit Planning Workshop held in Cairns in July 1997. Primary producers at the Workshop put pitaya in the top ten of crops worth further research and commercialisation. The fresh fruit was identified and targeted as potential product. A preliminary search on pitaya, by means of amount of published papers worldwide indicated it was among crops with recent increasing attention. This attention has been limited to its appearance in foreign literature and the presence of the crop in developing countries. Recent research carried out in Israel towards drought resistant crops for the Negev Desert has drawn attention to this cactus grouping. Historical production of the fruits could indicate a promising market and production potential. Its distribution, and geographic and political characteristics may have favoured development of local markets. Growing attention towards drought resistant plants, and expansion of production areas under possible global warming, are factors of relevance in Australian agriculture. Introduction Pitaya is a common name applied to a broad variety of warm-climate cacti fruit (Table 4.1), from different species and genera.
