RESUMO

Here we present an optimized protocol for in vitro embryo formation and plant regeneration through anther culture of the Mexican husk tomato (Physalis ixocarpa Brot.). This protocol relies on the application of an anther thermal shock at a specific developmental stage prior to the in vitro culture, ensures embryo formation from anthers without callus formation, and allows spending less time to regenerate doubled haploid complete plants. This protocol has been used for different cultivars of Physalis ixocarpa (Chapingo, Rendidora, Puebla, Arandaz, Manzano, Tamazula, Salamanca, and Milpero), and also for two wild-type accessions, all of them cultivated in Mexico. Chapingo cultivar responded with the highest percentage of androgenesis on the embryo induction medium (EIM).

RESUMO

Two of the most important Mexican plant-foods are tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) and husk tomato (Physalis ixocarpa Brot.). In this study three objectives were followed: i) to evaluate the bioaccessible phenolic compounds (PC) in T and HT during upper gastrointestinal digestion, ii) to in vitro ferment the indigestible fractions of the samples to evaluate the short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) production, iii) the microbial metabolites, bioconverted PC and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) generated during the fermentation. Vanillic acid was the most bioaccessible PC and after 48 h, 3-hydroxyphenylacetic acid was the most abundant microbial metabolite identified in both samples. The identification of VOCs belonging to terpenes (and derivatives) group in T and HT can be product of the microbial metabolism of carotenoids. The study shows new knowledge of the in vitro intestinal digestion and fermentation of T and HT final compounds with biological potential which should be evaluated in further studies.

RESUMO

A rheological study was carried out to evaluate formulations of test dispersions and gels of high methoxyl pectins (HTHMP) obtained at different conditions from husk tomato waste (Physalis ixocarpa Brot.). The effect of extraction agent (hydrochloric acid or citric acid), blanching time (10 or 15min) and extraction time (15, 20 or 25min) on the rheology of the tested samples was evaluated. Flow behavior and activation energy were evaluated on the test dispersions, while (Ea) frequency sweeps, temperature sweep, creep-recovery test and penetration test were performed on the gels. HTHMP dispersions showed shear thinning flow behavior, while showing a good fit to Cross model. Extraction agent, blanching time and extraction time did not have effect on Cross parameters (ηz, η∞, C, and m). Ea decreased as blanching time and extraction time increased. Frequency sweeps revealed high dependence on frequency for both G' and G", while temperature sweeps (25- 95°C) showed thermostable husk tomato pectin gels. Hydrocloric acid (HCl) extracted pectin gels showed stronger structure than citric acid (CA) gels.

RESUMO

A utilização de substratos e ambientes é importante fator a ser analisado na determinação da qualidade de germinação e crescimento de mudas de espécies de fisális. Diante do exposto, objetivou-se com o presente trabalho, avaliar a germinação e o crescimento inicial de duas espécies não convencionais de fisális, submetidas a diferentes ambientes e substratos. Conduziu-se dois experimentos simultâneos no período de março a maio/2014, na Unioeste, PR. O delineamento experimental utilizado no primeiro experimento foi blocos casualizados, fatorial 2x3 (2 espécies de fisális: Physalis minima, Physalis ixocarpax 3 ambientes: ambiente protegido com cobertura plástica de 150 µm; telado com 50% de sombreamento e pleno sol), contendo 3 repetições e 50 sementes por parcela experimental. O delineamento do segundo experimento foi blocos casualizados, fatorial 2x4 (2 espécies de fisális: Physalis minima, Physalis ixocarpax 4 substratos: vermiculita expandida de textura média + Latossolo; Húmus Fértil® + Latossolo; areia lavada de textura fina + Latossolo e Húmus Fértil® + vermiculita expandida de textura média, na proporção 1:1 v:v), contendo 3 repetições e 32 sementes por parcela experimental. Monitorou-se os experimentos por 22 dias, para obtenção do índice de velocidade de emergência. Aos 60 dias após a semeadura avaliou-se a altura das plântulas, diâmetro do caule, número de folhas, biomassa fresca e seca das plântulas. Estufa agrícola e telado propiciam índice de velocidade de emergência de sementes de Physalis ixocarpa e Physalis mínima, sem distinção entre esses ambientes. Mudas de P. ixocarpa devem ser produzidas em estufa, utilizando-se como mistura de substrato, Húmus Fértil® + vermiculita expandida de textura média, ou Latossolo + vermiculita. Mudas de P. minima devem ser produzidas em mistura de Húmus Fértil® + vermiculita, sob estufa ou telado.(AU)

The use of substrates and environments is an important factor to be considered in determining the quality of germination and seedling growing of species of physalis. Given the above, the objective with this study was to evaluate the germination and early crowing of two non-conventional species of physalis, subjected to different environments and substrates. Were conducted two simultaneous experiments in the periodfrom March to May / 2014 in Unioeste, PR. The experimental design used in the first experiment was a randomized, 2x3 factorial (2 physalis species: Physalis minima, Physalis ixocarpa x 3 environments: protect environment with plastic cover of 150 µm, greenhouse with 50% of shading and full sun) blocks containing 3 replicates and 50 seeds per experimental plot. The design of the second experiment was randomized, 2x4 factorial (2 physalis species: Physalis minima, Physalis ixocarpa x 4 substrates:expanded vermiculite of medium texture + latossol, Húmus Fértil® + latossol, washed sand of fine texture +latossol and Humus Fértil® + expanded vermiculite of medium texture, in proportion 1:1 v:v) blocks containing three replicates of 32 seeds per experimental plot. Was monitored by 22 days the experiments to obtain the emergence speed index. 60 days after the sowing was evaluated seedling height, stem diameter, number of leaves, fresh and dry biomass of seedlings. We conclude that, agricultural greenhouse and greenhouse of shade net providing emergence speed index of Physalis minima and Physalis Ixocarpa without distinction between these environments. Seedlings of P. ixocarpa should be produced in agricultural greenhouse, using as substrate mix of Humus fértil® commercial substrate + expanded vermiculite or latosol + vermiculite. Seedlings of P. minima must be produced in a mixture of Humus Fértil® + vermiculite under agricultural greenhouse with or under shade net.(AU)
