Objetivos: evaluar el rendimiento y la calidad de 11 híbridos pimiento. Metodología: ensayo se desarrolló en ambiente protegido, Alajuela, Costa Rica. Se empleó fibra coco como sustrato para las plantas, suministro nutrientes fue mediante fertirrigación. Resultados: halló una importante variabilidad los datos obtenidos por edad al inicio cosecha (75 – 82 días luego trasplante), cantidad frutos ...

Auxin response factors (ARFs) play important roles in regulating plant growth and development and response to environmental stress. An exhaustive analysis of the CaARF family was performed using the latest publicly available genome for pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). In total, 22 non-redundant CaARF gene family members in six classes were analyzed, including chromosome locations, gene structures, ...

We report for the first time conical galls of Clinodiplosis capsici Gagné, 2000 (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae) on sweet pepper ( Capsicum annuum L., Solanaceae) in Brazil. This has agricultural importance since this midge is one known sweet-pepper pests.

Capsicum species are frequently described in terms of genetic divergence, considering morphological, agronomic, and molecular databases. However, descriptions of genetic differences based on anatomical characters are rare. We examined the anatomy and the micromorphology of vegetative and reproductive organs of several Capsicum species. Four Capsicum accessions representing the species C. annuum...

Demotispa neivai Bondar (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) damage oil palm fruits, which makes it necessary to develop products to control this insect. The mortality, repellency, and antifeeding effects on adults of D. neivai of six plant extracts of Azadirachta indica A. Juss. (Sapindales: Meliaceae), Ricinus communis (L.) (Malpighiaes: Euphorbiaceae), Citrus sinensis Oesbek (Sapindales: Rutaceae), N...

A species of Heterobasidion was encountered during a diversity study of endophytic fungi from healthy root tissues of chili pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) in Korea. The fungal species (CNU081069) was identified as Heterobasidion araucariae based on phylogenetic analyses of the internal transcribed spacer and translation elongation factor gene sequences. Morphological descriptions of the endophytic...
