“…In addition to the modification of standard fruit components, other compounds synthesized by the rootstocks may be found in the scion; for example, the accumulation of high amounts of nicotine in tomato plants grafted onto Nicotiana tabacum L. [23]. In the specific case of pepper, several changes related with the capsaicin content [17], vigor [11,16], fruit shape index [15], or carotenoids, total phenolics and vitamin C contents [14,16] have been reported.…”

-Introduction. Interest in grafting onto rootstocks resistant to soil-borne pathogens has risen since the phasing-out of methyl bromide, an efficient soil disinfectant. In this study, we have evaluated the putative effect of rootstock-scion combinations on pepper fruit nutritional quality in relation to grafting, an effect that is sometimes overlooked. Materials and methods. As the scions, we used two representative sweet pepper cultivars, 'Almuden' and 'Coyote', and as rootstocks 'Foc' and 'Charlot', both resistant to Phytophthora capsici and Meloidogyne incognita. Dry matter, soluble solids, proteins, phenolics, and vitamin C content, as well as eight minerals (P, K, Ca, Mg, Na, Fe, Cu, and Zn) were measured in fruits from non-grafted, self-grafted, and grafted plants. Results and discussion. Differences in the fruit composition were found, depending on the genotype, rootstock, or rootstock-scion combination. The main effects were as follows. Higher values of• Brix, phenolics, P, Mg, and Na were found in the fruit of 'Coyote' whereas the vitamin C and Fe levels were higher in 'Almuden' fruit. The dry matter, protein, and K concentrations were higher in the fruit from grafted plants with respect to the values from non-grafted plants, especially in the fruit from plants grafted onto 'Charlot' and 'Foc' rootstocks (increases of 11.8%, 17.6%, and 9.6%, respectively; when average values of the four combinations of these rootstocks). Fruit from 'Almuden' and 'Coyote' plants grafted onto the rootstock 'Foc' had lower• Brix values (about one degree less than the control) and lower values of phenolics were also obtained when used this rootstock (14.4% less than for the control). On the other hand, the P concentration was higher in the fruit of 'Coyote' grafted onto 'Charlot' (17.2% higher than for the control). This combination also exhibited the highest fruit K concentration (226.70 mg 100 g −1 fresh weight). Conclusion. From a nutritional point of view it is important to evaluate and select the best rootstock-scion combinations: in our assay, this was 'Charlot'-'Coyote' the fruit of which showed the highest• Brix and K, P, and protein concentrations.Keywords: pepper / Capsicum annuum / fruit quality / mineral composition / rootstockscion combination Résumé -Effets des combinaisons de greffage sur la composition nutritionnelle des fruits du poivron.

Dans cette étude, nous avons évalué l'effet putatif de combinaisons porte-greffe-greffon sur la qualité nutritionnelle des fruits de piment qui peut être touchée par greffage et qui est parfois négligée. Les principaux effets que nous avons observés sont les suivants : de plus hauts• Brix et de plus fortes teneurs en composés phénoliques, P, Mg et Na ont été trouvés dans les fruits 'Coyote', tandis que, les teneurs en vitamine C et en Fe étaient plus élevées dans les fruits d'Almuden'....

“…The use of grafting in sweet pepper plants is not as widespread as in the rest of horticultural species (Lee et al, 2010), in spite of the fact that the use of adequate rootstocks can be an alternative strategy to avoid or reduce yield losses caused by environmental stress, such as excessive radiation or temperature in late crop cycles (Schwarz et al, 2010), as well as providing other advantages such as resistance to soil-borne diseases (López-Marín et al, 2013). Until now, little attention has been paid to the effect of rootstocks on the fruit quality of grafted sweet pepper (Colla et al, 2008).…”

Pepper crops (Capsicum annuum L.) represent a very important production sector in the Southeast of Spain. Specifically, in the province of Almería, approximately 7000 hectares are grown every year. Due to the economic importance that this crop has for the region and the withdrawal of soil fumigants from the market, agronomic techniques have been adopted with the aim of controlling some soil pathogens and increasing the yield and quality parameters of the fruits obtained. The use of grafted pepper plants is not, as yet, very well established in this region, due mainly to the lack of commercial rootstocks that satisfy the producers of this vegetable. In this experiment three pepper rootstocks were assessed. An experiment was designed with four treatments and three replications of each one (12 experimental plots), which were distributed in randomised blocks. Three of the treatments corresponded to grafted plants of the "Palermo" cultivar onto: "Oscos", "AR40" and "Tresor", using non-grafted "Palermo" cultivar as the control test. The average yield expressed in kg/plant, showed significant differences between grafted and non-grafted plants. The highest fruit weight was obtained in Palermo onto Tresor. The presence of Blossom end rot (BER) in the assessed fruits also showed significant differences between the different treatments, with the fruits from plants grafted onto Tresor showing a higher proportion of BER and the fruits coming from plants grafted onto AR40 showing the lowest proportion.Index terms: Grafting, Capsicum annuum L., blossom-end rot. RESUMOO cultivo de pimenta (Capsicum annuum L.) é muito importante para o setor produtivo do sudeste da Espanha. Especificamente, na província de Almería, são cultivados 7000 ha cada ano. Em razão da importância econômica da cultura para a região e a retirada de fumigantes do solo, técnicas agronômicas foram adotadas, a fim de controlar alguns patógenos de solo e melhorar os parâmetros e qualidade dos frutos. O uso de plantas de pimenta enxertadas, até agora, não é bem estabelecido na região, principalmente em decorrência da falta de porta-enxertos comerciais para atender aos produtores. Nesse experimento, foram avaliadas três porta-enxertos de pimenta. Um experimento com quatro tratamentos e três repetições de cada (12 parcelas) que foram distribuídos em blocos ao acaso. Três dos tratamentos corresponderam à variedade enxertada " Palermo" em " Oscos ", " AR40 " e " Tresor " usando cultivar " Palermo", sem enxertia, como plantas controle. O rendimento médio em kg/planta mostrou diferenças significativas entre plantas enxertadas e não enxertadas. O maior peso do fruto foi obtido em Palermo no Tresor. A presença de podridão fim flor (BER) nos frutos avaliados, também mostrou diferenças significativas entre os diferentes tratamentos com os frutos das plantas enxertadas sobre Tresor apresentando uma maior proporção de BER e frutos de plantas enxertadas sobre AR40, a menor proporção.Termos para indexação: Enxerto, Capsicum annuum L., podridão apical da flor.

“…Como se mencionó anteriormente, los efectos del portainjerto en hortalizas están poco entendidos, aunque autores como Lacasa et al (2006) de pimiento procedentes de las plantas injertadas no tuvieron buena calidad en comparación con los procedentes de plantas no injertadas, incluso con menor desarrollo en la planta. Por otro lado, Colla et al (2006) reportaron que las plantas de pimiento injertadas incrementan la producción de frutos de calidad comercial entre 22 y 46% en comparación con las plantas no injertadas; así mismo, Chávez-Mendoza et al (2013) obtuvieron un incremento en la calidad nutraceútica y en el contenido de antioxidantes en plantas injertadas, así como diferencias significativas en el contenido de compuestos bioactivos en variedades de pimiento morrón injertadas (Chávez-Mendoza et al, 2015). Sin embargo, Gisbert et al (2010) mencionan que los frutos de pimiento procedentes de las plantas injertadas tienen una mayor variabilidad en parámetros como peso, forma y tamaño.…”

Influencia de la variedad, portainjerto y época de cosecha en la calidad e índices de madurez en pimiento morrón Influence of the variety, rootstock and harvest time on the quality and maturity indices in Bell pepper Resumen IntroducciónEl uso de portainjertos para la producción de hortalizas es una técnica que ha ido en aumento en los últimos años, generando resistencia a patógenos y aumentando la producción en los cultivos.Sin embargo, hoy en día la producción no lo es todo en el rubro comercial; no basta solo con producir en grandes cantidades y en espacios más pequeños; el mercado actual está pidiendo productos de calidad. Por lo que el objetivo del presente trabajo de investigación fue estudiar el efecto de la variedad, el portainjerto y la época de cosecha en la calidad e índices de madurez en pimiento morrón. MétodoEl presente estudio se llevó a cabo en el ciclo de producción 2012, desarrollado bajo un sistema de malla sombra, ubicada en Delicias, Chihuahua, México. El diseño experimental usado fue en bloques completos al azar con tres factores estudiados: variedades (Fascinato de frutos rojos y Janette de frutos amarillos), portainjerto (con portainjerto Terrano y sin portainjerto) y tiempo de cosecha (11 de julio, 8 de agosto, 20 de agosto y 4 de septiembre). Las variables evaluadas fueron:índices de madurez y parámetros de calidad en pimiento morrón.Influencia de la variedad, portainjerto y época de cosecha en la calidad e índices de madurez en pimiento morrón ResultadosSe encontraron diferencias significativas en los parámetros de calidad e índices de madurez entre las variedades evaluadas, así mismo, el efecto del portainjerto Terrano en la calidad del fruto de las variedades Fascinato y Janette incrementó el tamaño de fruto (diámetro, longitud y peso); mientras que, en variables como firmeza, sólidos solubles totales, color (L, C, °h) y acidez titulable (% de ácido málico) el portainjerto causó un decremento. Por otra parte, la época de cosecha para las variedades estudiadas fue estrechamente relacionada con el grado de madurez del fruto. ConclusiónEl factor variedad influyó en los parámetros: diámetro, longitud, peso del fruto, firmeza, sólidos solubles totales, color y acidez; mientras que el factor portainjerto sólo afectó la firmeza del fruto.Por otra parte, el factor época de cosecha tuvo influencia en la longitud y peso del fruto, firmeza, sólidos solubles totales, color y acidez titulable. Finalmente, la interacción de los tres factores estudiados solamente fue significativa en el color del fruto. Abstract Introduction
