Effect of nitrogen sources on fruit characteristics and seed physiological quality of Physalis angulata L.

Abstract

RESUMOangulata L., a naturally occurring species (Matos 2000), appears as an alternative for the region.P. angulata is a herbaceous plant of approximately 70 cm in height, popularly known in Brazil as mullaca, camapu and juá-de-capote (Freitas et al. 2006). Its fruit, a globose berry with numerous seeds, has a sweet and slightly acidic taste, with a high content of vitamins, phosphorus, iron, flavonoids and fibers (Velasquez et al. 2007, Rufato et al. 2008. Despite such a great potential, the species is not much explored, and little research is carried out on its cultivation, mainly regarding techniques to increase fruit quality and yield.

Salinity resistance as a function of NH4+:NO3- ratio and its impact on yield and quality of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)

“…Sokri et al (2015) reported that improvement in fruit acidity contents of Malus domestica with nutrition could be related to antagonistic effect of with other cations. Tanan et al (2019) found that effect of on fruit quality characteristics of Physalis angulata L. was associated with ‐induced evolution of ethylene production which regulated the enzyme activities and fruit quality characteristics.…”
