Tema: “CARACTERIZACIÓN MORFOLÓGICA DE LAS ACCESIONES DEL GERMOPLASMA DE Capsicum, DEL INSTITUTO NACIONAL DE INVESTIGACIONES AGROPECUARIAS (INIAP)”.

Abstract

IN THIS WORK THE MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF 74 ACCESSIONS OF CAPSICUM SPP., FROM 15 PROVINCES OF ECUADOR THAT PRESENT CLIMATOLOGICAL DIFFERENCES, WITH AN ALTITUDE FROM 2 TO 3,500 MSNM APPROXIMATELY, REPRESENTATIVES OF 5 SPECIES (C. ANNUUM, C. BACCATUM , C. CHINENSE, C. FRUTESCENS, C. PUBESCENS), USING 20 DESCRIPTORS (11 QUANTITATIVE AND 9 QUALITATIVE) PROPOSED BY THE IPGRI. THE MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION ALLOWED THE IDENTIFICATION OF DIFFERENT FEATURES, WHICH WERE CHARACTERISTIC FOR EACH OF THE GROUPS 6 CONFORMED GROUPS. THE QUALITATIVE CHARACTERS EXPLAINED THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPECIES AND THE QUANTITATIVE CHARACTERS DEMONSTRATED THE VARIABILITY PRESENT IN EACH OF THE GROUPS THAT CONFORMED. THE DISTANCES BETWEEN THE SPECIES OF C. BACCATUM AND C. PUBESCENS WITH WHICH CONFORMS THE "COMPLEX" OF 3 SPECIES C. ANNUUM, C. CHINENSE, C. FRUTESCENS, WHICH HAVE THE SMALLEST DISTANCE BETWEEN THEM ARE EVIDENCED.
