  • 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.

  • Capsicum'' 1 Capsicum
    ''Capsicum'' 1 Capsicum Capsicum Fruit and longitudinal section Scientific classification Kingdom: Plantae (unranked): Angiosperms (unranked): Eudicots (unranked): Asterids Order: Solanales Family: Solanaceae Subfamily: Solanoideae Tribe: Capsiceae Genus: Capsicum [1] L. Species [2] See text For the fruit, see: Chili pepper For the heat simulating chemical in Chili pepper, see: Capsaicin Capsicum is a genus of flowering plants in the nightshade family, Solanaceae. Its species are native to the Americas, where they have been cultivated for thousands of years by the people of the tropical Americas, and are now cultivated worldwide. Some of the members of Capsicum are used as spices, vegetables, and medicines. The fruit of Capsicum plants have a variety of names depending on place and type. They are commonly called chilli pepper, red or green pepper, or sweet pepper in Britain, and typically just capsicum in Australian, New Zealand, and Indian English. The large mild form is called bell pepper in the U.S. and Canada. They are called paprika in some other countries (although paprika can also refer to the powdered spice made from various capsicum fruit). The generic name is derived from the Greek word καπτο (kapto), meaning "to bite" or "to swallow."[3] The original Mexican term, chilli (now chile in Mexico) came from the Nahuatl word chilli or xilli, referring to a larger Capsicum variety cultivated at least since 3000 BC, as evidenced by remains found in pottery from Puebla and Oaxaca.[4] ''Capsicum'' 2 Capsaicin in capsicum The fruit of most species of Capsicum contains capsaicin (methyl vanillyl nonenamide), a lipophilic chemical that can produce a strong burning sensation in the mouth of the unaccustomed eater.

R. Rabbinge Vakgroep Theoretische Produktie Ecologie Landbouw Universiteit Wageningen Begeleider lr. G.J. Jansen Xotus b.v. Delft Juli 1999 VOORWOORD Duivelseieren werden ze genoemd, terwijl ze uitgelepeld werden tijdens de lunchpauze. Fel oranje vruchten ter grootte van een ganzenei met dikke korte stekels en groen vruchtvlees. Het was een resultaat uit een hoekje van de serre waar eindeloos snoeiwerk was ingeslopen. Het resultaat mocht er dan ook wei zijn, hoewel ze meer opvielen door hun uiterlijk dan door de smaak. De interesse in de teelt van nieuwe vruchten en gewassen is er altijd al geweest, en kan opmerkelijke vruchten opleveren als de kiwano, Cucumis metuliferus. De nieuwsgierigheid en het enthousiasme tekent die mens en die experimenteren met nieuwe gewassen. Een boekwerk dat voor velen beslist een bron van inspiratie is in de teelt van nieuwe gewassen in Lost crops of the Incas, Popenoe eta/. (1989). lk heb de kans dan ook met beide handen aange­ nomen er een grondige studie van te kunnen maken. Mijn stage-ervaringen in het Australian New Crops Program hebben mij sterk gevormd in de commerciele omgang met nieuwe gewassen. Het is een kleine wereld, en verwijzingen naar ontwikkelingsstrategieen en ideeen die ik in 1997 heb opgedaan, komen naar voren in dit verslag. De toekomst zal leren in welke vorm ik na mijn studie met nieuwe gewassen te maken krijg. Commercieel, wetenschappelijk of in een begeleiden­ de rol voor anderen die zich inlaten in een tijdperk van nieuwe gewassen.

Keywords: chromosome numbers, karyotypes, active nucleolus organizing regions, fluorescent chromosome banding, nuclear DNA amounts, FISH, telomeric sequence Abstract Capsicum (chili peppers) is a New World genus with five crop species of great economic importance for food and spices. An up-to-date summary of the karyotypic knowledge is presented, including data on classical staining (chromosome number, size and morphology), silver impregnation (number and position of active nucleolar organizing regions), fluorescent chromosome banding (amount, distribution and type of constitutive heterochromatin), nuclear DNA content measurements (genome size), and fluorescent in situ hybridization (physical mapping of telomeric sequences).
