VARIACIÓN MORFOLÓGICA DE FRUTOS Y SEMILLAS DE CACAO (Theobroma cacao L.) DE PLANTACIONES EN TABASCO, MÉXICO

Abstract: Conocer la diversidad morfológica y genética presente en plantaciones, especialmente en especies nativas, es importante para el manejo y utilización de los recursos vegetales disponibles. Los objetivos del estudio fueron determinar la variación morfológica del fruto y semillas de cacao existente en plantaciones comerciales (PL) establecidas por semilla en Tabasco, México, e identificar colectas en estas PL con características sobresalientes asociadas al rendimiento. La recolecta de frutos se realizó en 33 PL d… Show more

“…The variable NG showed the lowest coefficient of variation (4.52%), and the variable FW presented the highest coefficient of variation (22.17%), in addition to a high mean in comparison to the other variables studied (Table 2). In a similar study, Ramírez-Guillermo et al (2018) mentioned as results intervals of broad variation, especially for FW. The length/diameter ratio in grain as in fruit presented lower values in terms of mean, deviation, minimums, and maximums.…”

“…Studies report morphological variations in fruits of Criollo, hybrid cacaos and international reference material, showing the heterogeneity between plantations. The morphological characteristics of the pods, seeds and flowers have also been used to evaluate the relationships between cacao genotypes (Ramírez et al, 2018;Ph et al, 1999). A study conducted by López-Hernández et al (2018) reported variability in length and diameter in buds and fruits of clones, and Aikpokpodion (2010) reported 43.6% of the total variation observed in qualitative and quantitative ranges of fruits.…”

“…The characteristics of the fruit with respect to the roughness of the fruit were not significant in the formation of groups, this characteristic could be associated to the hybridization of native × forastero cacao from the lower Amazon ( Ramírez-Guillermo et al., 2018 ). The variability of basal constriction presented in the cacao groups formed may be due to the fact that they correspond to genetic groups coming from Trinitario or Amazonian forastero cacao ( Bartra, 2009 ).…”

“…Cacao is a product that in recent years has positioned itself in the national and international markets with its new demand trends ( Cruz and Cañas, 2018 ). Cacao ( Theobroma cacao L.) is a crop of the Malvaceae family ( Alverson et al., 1999 ), which grows under shade and sustains the chocolate industry ( Ramírez-Guillermo et al., 2018 ). Cacao is a tropical crop grown at latitudes between 10°N and 10°S of the equator ( Arvelo et al., 2017 ).…”
