This work was coordinated by Wilfredo Rojas from PROINPA and was validated in 2003 at the Regional Workshop of a project managed by the International Plant Genetic Resource Institute (IPGRI) (now called Bioversity International): “Enhancing the contribution of neglected and underutilized species to food security, and to incomes of the rural poor“, sponsored by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) in which partners from Ecuador (INIAP, UCODEP), Peru (CIRNMA, INIA-Puno, INIA-Cuzco, UNA, PIWANDES) and Bolivia (PROINPA, UMSA, UACT-UCB, CIFP) participated. A draft version prepared in the internationally accepted Bioversity format was subsequently sent to international experts for their comments and amendments. A full list of the names and addresses of those involved is given under “Contributors”. The updating process of the quinoa descriptors was financially supported by the FAO Proyecto de Semillas Andinas (GCP/RLA/183/SPA), carried out with Spanish Cooperation resources, and the FAO's Plant Production and Protection Division (AGP). Bioversity International encourages the collecting of data for all five types of descriptors (see Definitions and Use of the Descriptors). The number of descriptors selected in each category will depend on the crop and their importance to the crop’s description and utilization. Descriptors listed under Evaluation allow a more detailed description of the accession, but generally require repeated trials over a period of time. Although the suggested coding should not be regarded as the definitive scheme, this format represents an important tool for a standardized characterization system and is promoted by Bioversity throughout the world. This descriptor list provides an international format and thereby produces a universally understood ‘language’ for plant genetic resources data. The adoption of this scheme for data encoding, or at least the production of a transformation method to convert other schemes into the Bioversity format, will produce a rapid, reliable, and efficient means for information storage, retrieval and communication, and will assist with the use of germplasm.

    Seed Dormancy and Preharvest Sprouting in Quinoa (Chenopodium Quinoa Willd)

    plants Review Seed Dormancy and Preharvest Sprouting in Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd) Emma M. McGinty 1, Kevin M. Murphy 2 and Amber L. Hauvermale 2,* 1 The School of Biological Sciences, Washington State University, P.O. Box 644236, Pullman, WA 99164, USA; [email protected] 2 Department of Crop and Soil Science, Washington State University, Pullman, WA 99164, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.:+1-509-335-3661 Abstract: Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is a culturally significant staple food source that has been grown for thousands of years in South America. Due to its natural drought and salinity tolerance, quinoa has emerged as an agronomically important crop for production in marginal soils, in highly variable climates, and as part of diverse crop rotations. Primary areas of quinoa research have focused on improving resistance to abiotic stresses and disease, improving yields, and increasing nutrition. However, an evolving issue impacting quinoa seed end-use quality is preharvest sprouting (PHS), which is when seeds with little to no dormancy experience a rain event prior to harvest and sprout on the panicle. Far less is understood about the mechanisms that regulate quinoa seed dormancy and seed viability. This review will cover topics including seed dormancy, orthodox and unorthodox dormancy programs, desiccation sensitivity, environmental and hormonal mechanisms that regulate seed dormancy, and breeding and non-breeding strategies for enhancing resistance to PHS in quinoa.

    Eurysacca Melanocampta MEYRICK (LEPIDOPTERA: GELECHIIDAE) for TWO VARIETIES of QUINOA (Chenopodium Quinoa WILLD.) in OLFACTOMETRY ASSAYS

    RESEARCH 71 PREFERENCE OF QUINOA MOTH: Eurysacca melanocampta MEYRICK (LEPIDOPTERA: GELECHIIDAE) FOR TWO VARIETIES OF QUINOA (Chenopodium quinoa WILLD.) IN OLFACTOMETRY ASSAYS Juan F. Costa1*, Walter Cosio1, Maritza Cardenas1, Erick Yábar1, and Ernesto Gianoli2 ABSTRACT Insects are attracted to plants by visual and olfactory cues. The quinoa moth, Eurysacca melanocampta Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), is the main insect pest of the quinoa crop, Chenopodium quinoa Willd. (Chenopodiales: Chenopodiaceae), in the southern Peruvian Andes, causing grain yield losses. The aim of this study was to investigate the behavioural response of adult quinoa moths to olfactory stimuli. Specifically, the objectives of this study were: 1) to determine the capacity of E. melanocampta adults of searching for quinoa plants using plant olfactory cues; 2) to determine the preference of E. melanocampta females for the odours derived from two varieties of quinoa: Amarilla de Marangani and Blanca de Junín; and 3) to assess the attraction of male quinoa moths to E. melanocampta females and the host plant in olfactometric bioassays. Adults preferred quinoa plant odour sources in choice tests when distilled water was used as a control (P < 0.0001). Females were more attracted to the Blanca de Junín variety than to Amarilla de Marangani variety (P < 0.05). Males were more attracted to the odour derived from females than to the volatile compounds from plants (both varieties) or to the odour blend derived from plants plus females together. The level of attraction of males towards females is negatively affected by the presence of the quinoa plants. Key words: attraction, Chenopodiaceae, Gelechiidae, searching, olfactometry, quinoa.

Published: 4 August 2020 Abstract: In this study, the thermal properties of quinoa and maize starch were evaluated and related to their digestibility. Lower gelatinisation and retrogradation parameters were obtained in quinoa starch, suggesting a better susceptibility to the disruption of the crystalline structure. These results were accompanied with a higher percentage of hydrolysis in raw quinoa, reaching more twofold higher than in raw maize starch. Besides, the slopes calculated by a Lineweaver-Bürke transformation showed similar values in raw quinoa and maize starches. Taken together, these characteristics of quinoa starch could provide more digestible benefits than the current treatment, raw maize starch, in glycogen storage disease patients. Keywords: maize starch; quinoa starch; thermal properties; starch hydrolysis; glycogen storage disease 1. Introduction Previous research has shown variability in the susceptibility to digestion depending on structural differences in starches from different sources [1]. A crystalline structure is an important factor to take into account in digestibility, and can be modified by a gelatinisation process [2].

The fields at low altitudes have the potential to produce higher yields than those in the highlands. This study investigated the occurrence of insect pests and the natural enemies of quinoa in a traditional production zone, San Lorenzo (in the Andes), and in two new zones at lower altitudes, La Molina (on the coast) and Majes (in the “Maritime Yunga” ecoregion), by plant sampling and pitfall trapping. Our data indicated that the pest pressure in quinoa was higher at lower elevations than in the highlands. The major insect pest infesting quinoa at high densities in San Lorenzo was Eurysacca melanocampta; in La Molina, the major pests were E. melanocampta, Macrosiphum euphorbiae and Liriomyza huidobrensis; and in Majes, Frankliniella occidentalis was the most abundant pest.
