摘要
Different studies report that pepper fruit cuticle and pericarp thickness vary among marked cultivars and these variations likely influence many fruit quality traits, especially water loss rates. Thus, the objectives of this work was to evaluate the fresh market performance of pepper cultivars based on fruit traits, and indicate the cultivars of Capsicum spp. with less probability of post harvest water loss. Pepper fruits, belonging to C. chinense, C. frutescens and C. baccatum species, were collected in an experimental area at Bonfim's settlement, Alagoinha, Paraiba, Brazil. After harvest, fruits were taken to the laboratory of biotechnology at Centro de Ciencias Agrarias of the Universidade Federal da Paraiba. Fruits were characterized according to pericarp thickness, fruit weight, and fruit length, larger and smaller fruit diameter. The experimental design was completely randomized with eight treatments and four repetitions. Analysis of variance, mean test, heritability, and ratio of coefficient of genetic variation by coefficient of environmental variation, genotypic and environmental correlation, and Tocher's grouping method were performed. The cultivar habanero vermelha had better performance for fruit weight and larger and smaller fruit diameter. On the other hand 'dedo de moca' presented the longest fruits and major pericarp thickness. These two cultivars also belonged to different groups based on Tocher's method. The genetic correlation between pericarp thickness and fruit weight was high (0.70) and highly significant. Fruit wall thickness also presented highly significant genotypic correlation with larger fruit diameter (0.93) and small fruit diameter. (0.93). Those finds indicate that indirect selection for pericarp thickness could be done based on larger fruit diameter. These correlations are trustworthy and important due to the high heritability values presented for these traits. Some authors suggest selecting fruits with higher cuticle thickness and fruit width values due to lower water loss. Thus, we suggest that small farmers cultivate 'habanero vermelha' and 'dedo de moca' in order to produce fruits with extended shelf life.
