“…Moreover, in the far northern Brazilian Amazon, indigenous people use C. chinense peppers with wild characteristics, which grow naturally in the hills and foothills of north-central and northeastern Roraima and were probably dispersed by birds. Among the indigenous natives, these peppers are grown in their gardens because of their mystical belief in "Curupira" or "Ataí-taí" and were symbolically named "Pimenta do Curupira" or just "pimi'ró" (small pepper, in Macuxi language) (Nascimento Filho et al, 2007).…”

ABSTRACT. Capsicum chinense and C. frutescens peppers are part of the Brazilian biodiversity, and the Amazon basin is the area of greatest diversity for them, especially for that former species. Nevertheless, little is known about their evolutionary history. Aiming to identify genotypes with wild and domesticated characteristics, 30 accessions of the germplasm bank of Embrapa were characterized using morphological descriptors and ISSR molecular markers. Of the 72 primers tested, 42% showed amplification and produced 136 amplicons with some of the primers, namely i7Pv and i57Zm, allowing the identification of each species. ISSR also revealed polymorphisms within a species, especially between domesticated and wild forms. Four wild accessions collected in the Amazon region (CNPH 4315, CNPH 4372, CNPH 4337 and CNPH 4325B) popularly known as "olho-de-peixe" or "olho-de periquito" were molecularly classified as C. chinense and showed fruit with similar characteristics as the wild species: upright position, rounded to campanulate shape, small size (1.0 cm long and 0.8 cm wide), average weight of 0.2 g, dark-red color when ripe, easy detachment of calyx and presence of calyx annular constriction (discriminative of C. chinense). The wild form CNPH 4353 known as "malaguetinha" was morphologically and molecularly classified as C. frutescens, demonstrating a more preserved morphology in C. frutescens than in C. chinense. A significant correlation was found between morphological and molecular characterization, and the combination of the two analyses was effective in identifying and classifying the wild forms and contributing to evolutionary studies in the genus.

“…Wild populations can still be found in the nature, but they are difficult to locate or are restricted to remote areas. Wild C. chinense (indigenous name: Pimi’ró) have been found in Roraima State (Brazil) ( Barbosa et al 2002 , 2008 ; Busso et al 2003 ; Nascimento-Filho et al 2007 ; Romero da Cruz and Forni Martins 2015 ), which confirms the occurrence of probable ancestors in the eastern lowlands of Amazonia (Fig. 48 ).…”

Capsicum L. (tribe Capsiceae, Solanaceae) is an American genus distributed ranging from the southern United States of America to central Argentina and Brazil. The genus includes chili peppers, bell peppers, ajíes, habaneros, jalapeños, ulupicas and pimientos, well known for their economic importance around the globe. Within the Solanaceae, the genus can be recognised by its shrubby habit, actinomorphic flowers, distinctive truncate calyx with or without appendages, anthers opening by longitudinal slits, nectaries at the base of the ovary and the variously coloured and usually pungent fruits. The highest diversity of this genus is located along the northern and central Andes. Although Capsicum has been extensively studied and great advances have been made in the understanding of its taxonomy and the relationships amongst species, there is no monographic treatment of the genus as a whole. Based on morphological and molecular evidence studied from field and herbarium specimens, we present here a comprehensive taxonomic treatment for the genus, including updated information about morphology, anatomy, karyology, phylogeny and distribution. We recognise 43 species and five varieties, including C. mirum Barboza, sp. nov. from São Paulo State, Brazil and a new combination C. muticum (Sendtn.) Barboza, comb. nov.; five of these taxa are cultivated worldwide (C. annuum L. var. annuum, C. baccatum L. var. pendulum (Willd.) Eshbaugh, C. baccatum L. var. umbilicatum (Vell.) Hunz. & Barboza, C. chinense Jacq. and C. frutescens L.). Nomenclatural revision of the 265 names attributed to chili peppers resulted in 89 new lectotypifications and five new neotypifications. Identification keys and detailed descriptions, maps and illustrations for all taxa are provided.

“…was domesticated in the Amazon region more than 4000 years ago (Clement et al 2010). Among the dozens of types of hot peppers grown in the region, the most common are locally known as murupi, pimenta-de-cheiro, pimentabode, cumari-do-pará and biquinho (C. chinense), tabasco (Capsicum frutescens L.), and dedo-de-moça and cumari (Capsicum baccatum L.) (Carvalho et al 2006;Nascimento Filho et al 2007;Ribeiro et al 2008;Roman et al 2000).…”

Asian populations, as well as other traditional peoples and communities who settled in the region, such as fishermen, riverside dwellers, rubber tappers, Brazil nut pickers, babassu coconut breakers, extractivists, and small farmers among others. Given this complex sociocultural and environmental diversity, it is impossible to identify a single Amazonian dietary culture.The isolated study of edible plants is not enough to construct an overview on the Amazonian dietary culture, as it is related to other foods of animal and mineral extraction; objects used for farming, hunting, and preparing food; and mythologies, in addition to cultural and social practices. The traditional agricultural system of the Rio Negro, declared a cultural heritage of Brazil, demonstrates how complex these dietary practices are and how they involve several social, cultural, and environmental factors (Emperaire 2010).For a long time, Amazonian biodiversity has been exploited with an extractive approach, as in the economic cycles of the sertão drugs, or the Brazil nut and rubber trees. These Amazônia was known through a fetishized or exotic lens by the rest of the world through the eyes of the foreign travellers and naturalists. In addition to the domesticated and cultivated Amazon species that have been brought to the rest of the world, many edible Amazon species are used only by local populations and remain unknown to the rest of the world.Open markets in small and large Amazonian cities are an important showcase to know this edible biodiversity and constitute an important center for agricultural diversity and exchange of germplasm among the local population (Emperaire and Eloy 2008). Some of the most noteworthy markets are the Ver-o-Peso and the market of the 25 de Setembro street in Belém, Pará; the Elias Mansur Market in Rio Branco, Acre; the Adolpho Lisboa Market; the fruit stands near the airport; and the Laranjeiras Market in Manaus, Amazonas, or the weekend fairs in São Gabriel da Cachoeira or Tabatinga, in the state of Amazonas.The appreciation of traditional food plants or "unconventional food plants" (plantas alimentícias não convencionais, PANC) by the fine cuisine circuit and by movements aimed at valorize sociobiodiversity, such as Slow Food, brought a new stimulus to the study of Amazonian food plants.However, there is yet much to be studied, considering that between 10% and 20% of the world flora has current or potential nutritional use to humans (Kinupp 2007; Kinupp and Lorenzi 2014), which means that, just in the Amazon, from 1.6 to 3.2 thousand plants are edible. Most of the studies carried out in the Amazon region, so far, have been restricted to ethnobotanical research on a specific species, region, or ethnic group, without pursuing research on the nutritional properties and botanical or agronomic aspects. This occur partly due to the bureaucracy for carrying out these researches within the Brazilian legislation (Tomchinsky et al. 2013) but also due to the lack of human and financial resources in research institutions i...
