Author for correspondence: [email protected] Rec.: 14.07.2016 Accep.: 31.05.2017 Abstract Rocoto pepper (C. pubescens), is one of the domesticated species of the genus Capsicum in South America. Currently, its supply and demand are arising in national and global market. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal extraction timing of the seeds of C. pubescens according to physiological and physical seed qualities. Seed qualities measurement include seed weight, number of seeds per fruit, total emergence, emergence rate, mean emergence time, mean daily emergence, survival percentage, peak value and emergence value. Treatments were evaluated for comparison as follows: seed extraction ranged from 0 to 3 days after harvest (T1), and seed extraction ranged from 14 to 17 days after harvest (T2). T1 presented seeds with the best physiological qualities and a total emergence value of 84.2%, in contrast to 74.8% obtained in T2.

  • Native Peppers from Around the Globe
    International Gardener Native Peppers From Around the Globe By Pat Dickey & Ray Novitske, Fairfax Master Gardeners Question: Where do peppers in Indian curries, Thai noodles, Mexican enchilladas, and Chinese . .stir-fry come from? Answer: South America Even though we associate different sizes, colors, shapes, and tastes of peppers with different nationalities and cuisines, they all originate in South America. Upon being exposed to the capsicum plant in the Caribbean, Columbus thought he had come across the peppercorn, and thus called it pepper. Peppers were spread around the world as a spice, mostly by 16th century Portuguese traders interested in the lucrative spice trade. After some time and regional cultivation, new varieties popped up and became integrated into the regional cooking we are familiar with today. This is the first in a new series which will expose us to new vegetables and ornamentals that may be growing in our international gardeners’ gardens. Aji Amarillo Native South American peppers, Aji Amarillo peppers (Capsicum baccatum) are popular in Peruvian cooking. They can be used fresh for soups and sauces, made into a chili paste, or dried. The smaller Aji ‘Chinchi’ Amarillo pepper seeds were recently introduced in the US and is a cultivar of the larger Aji Amarillo species. ‘Chinchi’ bears fruit much sooner in the season than the larger Amarillo species. The peppers are also considered rare and measure only 3 inches by one-half inch. Aji ‘Chinchi’ Amarillo peppers are fruity and full of flavor with medium- Exchange Exchange high heat. The peppers develop from green to a golden photo: ISouthern Exposure Seed www.SouthernExposure.com orange-yellow before harvest in 52 days.

  • Ethylene and Carbon Dioxide Production in Detached Fruit of Selected Pepper Cultivars
    J. AMER. SOC. HORT. SCI. 124(4):402–406. 1999. Ethylene and Carbon Dioxide Production in Detached Fruit of Selected Pepper Cultivars Lucia Villavicencio,1 Sylvia M. Blankenship,2 Douglas C. Sanders,2 William H. Swallow3 Department of Horticultural Science, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27695-7609 ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS. respiration, maturation, climacteric, Capsicum annuum, Capsicum chinense, Capsicum frutescens, ripening ABSTRACT. Bell peppers (Capsicum annuum L.) are classified as nonclimacteric fruits while some hot peppers have been reported as climacteric. Responses of peppers to exogenously applied ethylene-releasing compounds suggest ethylene involvement in the ripening process. Ethylene production and respiration rates in 13 cultivars of pepper: ‘Camelot’, ‘Cherry Bomb’, ‘Chiltepin’, ‘Cubanelle’, ‘Banana Supreme’, ‘Habanero’, ‘Hungarian Wax’, ‘Mesilla’, ‘Mitla’, ‘Savory’, ‘Sure Fire’, ‘Tabasco’, and ‘King Arthur’ were studied under greenhouse and field conditions. Fruit from each cultivar were harvested at different maturity stages determined by color, ranging from mature-green to full red-ripe. Carbon dioxide and ethylene production were measured by gas chromatography. Both variables were significantly different among maturity stages for –1 –1 all cultivars. Respiration rates were between 16.5 and 440.3 mg·kg ·h CO2. Ethylene production ranged from 0.002 to 1.1 –1 –1 µL·kg ·h . Two patterns of CO2 production were identified: higher CO2 production for mature-green fruit with successive decreases for the rest of the maturity stages or lower respiration rates for mature-green fruit with an increase in CO2 production either when fruit were changing color or once fruit were almost totally red. A rise in CO2 production was present for most cultivars.

  • Hot Pepper (Capsicum Spp.) – Important Crop on Guam
    Food Plant Production June 2017 FPP-05 Hot Pepper (Capsicum spp.) – Important Crop on Guam Joe Tuquero, R. Gerard Chargualaf and Mari Marutani, Cooperative Extension & Outreach College of Natural & Applied Sciences, University of Guam Most Capsicum peppers are known for their spicy heat. Some varieties have little to no spice such as paprika, banana peppers, and bell peppers. The spice heat of Capsicum peppers are measured and reported as Scoville Heat Units (SHU). In 1912, American pharmacist, Wilbur Scoville, developed a test known as the, Scoville Organoleptic Test, which was used to measure pungency (spice heat) of Capsicum peppers. Since the 1980s, pungency has been more accurately measured by high-performance liquid chromatography Source: https://phys.org/news/2009-06-domestication- (HPLC). HPLC tests result in American Spice Trade capsicum-annuum-chile-pepper.html Association (ASTA) pungency units. ASTA pungency Introduction units can be converted to SHU.

Hot peppers belong to the genus Capsicum. There are over 20 species under the genus Capsicum. There are five major domesticated species of peppers that are commercially cultivated (Table 1), and there are more than 50,000 varieties.

  • Wild Capsicum in the Area of the Amboró National Park in Bolivia
    Wild Capsicum in the area of the Amboró National Park in Bolivia Claudio Dal Zovo1, Leonardo Bruno2 1 Associazione Pepperfriends, Verona, Italy 2 Associazione Pepperfriends, Roma, Italy Abstract Bolivia is believed to be the source of the genus Capsicum; possibly Capsicum chacoense Hunz. is the species closer to the ancestor of all Capsicum species. About ten species of wild Capsicum grow in Bolivia: Capsicum baccatum L. var. baccatum, Capsicum caballeroi Nee, Capsicum cardenasii Heiser & Smith, Capsicum ceratocalyx Nee, Capsicum chacoense Hunz., Capsicum coccineum (Rusby) Hunz., Capsicum eshbaughii Barboza, Capsicum eximium Hunz., Capsicum minutiflorum (Rusby) Hunz. A couple of possible new species are under investigations. Many cultivated species are also grown and sometimes present in wild forms, especially Capsicum pubescens Ruiz & Pav., Capsicum frutescens L., Capsicum baccatum L. var. pendulum (Willd.) Eshbaugh. These species are preserved in herbaria and described in articles through drawings, but few or no images are available. We wished to produce a better documentation of live plants and their details; so we planned a trip to Bolivia starting in the area where most of the less known species are concentrated. We visited the area around the Amboró National Park, from Santa Cruz de la Sierra up to Samaipata, Mairana and Comarapa (South side of the Park) and the area near Buena Vista (North side of the Park). We found populations of C.minutiflorum (Rusby) Hunz., C.caballeroi Nee, C.eximium Hunz., C.baccatum L. var. baccatum, C.coccineum (Rusby) Hunz., fully described and documented them with many detailed images. These species are well differentiated and each of them has particular characteristics.
