RESUMO

Fruit texture is a priority trait that guarantees the long-term economic sustainability of the cranberry industry through value-added products such as sweetened dried cranberries (SDCs). To develop a standard methodology to measure texture, we conducted a comparative analysis of 22 textural traits using five different methods under both harvest and postharvest conditions in 10 representative cranberry cultivars. A set of textural traits from the 10%-strain compression and puncture methods were identified that differentiate between cultivars primarily based on hardness/stiffness and elasticity properties. The complementary use of both methodologies allowed for a detailed evaluation by capturing the effect of key texture-determining factors such as structure, flesh, and skin. Furthermore, the high effectiveness of this approach in different conditions and its ability to capture high phenotypic variation in cultivars highlights its great potential for applicability in various areas of the value chain and research. Therefore, this study provides an informed reference for unifying future efforts to enhance cranberry fruit texture and quality.

RESUMO

Chili pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is one of the oldest and most phenotypically diverse pre-Columbian crops of the Americas. Despite the abundance of genetic resources, the use of wild germplasm and landraces in chili pepper breeding is limited. A better understanding of the evolutionary history in chili peppers, particularly in the context of traits of agronomic interest, can contribute to future improvement and conservation of genetic resources. In this study, an F2:3 mapping population derived from a cross between a C. annuum wild accession (Chiltepin) and a cultivated variety (Puya) was used to identify genomic regions associated with 19 domestication and agronomic traits. A genetic map was constructed consisting of 1023 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers clustered into 12 linkage groups and spanning a total of 1,263.87 cM. A reciprocal translocation that differentiates the domesticated genome from its wild ancestor and other related species was identified between chromosomes 1 and 8. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis detected 20 marker-trait associations for 13 phenotypes, from which 14 corresponded to previously identified loci, and six were novel genomic regions related to previously unexplored domestication-syndrome traits, including form of unripe fruit, seedlessness, deciduous fruit, and growth habit. Our results revealed that the genetic architecture of Capsicum domestication is similar to other domesticated species with few loci with large effects, the presence of QTLs clusters in different genomic regions, and the predominance of domesticated recessive alleles. Our analysis indicates the domestication process in chili pepper has also had an effect on traits not directly related to the domestication syndrome. The information obtained in this study provides a more complete understanding of the genetic basis of Capsicum domestication that can potentially guide strategies for the exploitation of wild alleles.
