Identification of BAHD acyltransferases associated with acylinositol biosynthesis in Solanum quitoense (naranjilla). [PDF]

Plant Direct, 2022
Abstract Plants make a variety of specialized metabolites that can mediate interactions with animals, microbes, and competitor plants. Understanding how plants synthesize these compounds enables studies of their biological roles by manipulating their synthesis in vivo as well as producing them in vitro.

Key Agronomic Fertilization Practices That Influence Yield of Naranjilla (Solanum quitoense Lam.) in the Ecuadorian Amazon [PDF]

Agronomy, 2021
An application of a balanced nutrition will improve the soil as well as enhance the yield of naranjilla (Solanum quitoense Lam.) grown in the Ecuadorian Amazon. A field experiment was carried out in Palora, 16 de Agosto (Morona Santiago province) and Fátima (Pastaza province) to find which variables are related with the yield of the naranjilla crop and

Improvement of the Antioxidant Properties and Postharvest Life of Three Exotic Andean Fruits by UV‐C Treatment

Journal of Food Quality, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
Three Andean fruits naranjilla (Solanum quitoense Lam.), uvilla (Physalis peruviana L.), and mortiño (Vaccinium floribundum Kunth) were subjected to prestorage UV‐C treatments (0, 8, or 12.5 kJ m−2) and evaluated weekly to select the most suitable dose for fruit quality maintenance during storage (21 days at 6°C).

Proximity to Natural Habitat Is Not Consistently Associated With Pollination Services in Tropical Smallholder Farms: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]

Ecol Lett
We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis of 35 studies to examine the relationship between distance to natural habitat and pollinator abundance, species richness and crop fruit set in tropical smallholder farms. We found no consistent effects on abundance or fruit set, and only a slight, highly variable negative effect on pollinator richness,

ARVENSES ASOCIADAS A LOS CULTIVOS DE NARANJILLA Y TOMATE DE ÁRBOL

ECUADOR ES CALIDAD: Revista Científica Ecuatoriana, 2015
En el cultivo de naranjilla y tomate de árbol, las arvenses presentes pueden ser hospederas de insectos parasitoides que permiten un control biológico natural de plagas. En este estudio se muestreó especies arvenses en las localidades de El Chaco (Napo) y Río Negro (Tungurahua) donde las familias encontradas mayoritariamente fueron Asteraceae, Poaceae ...
