Background: Physalis angulata L. or Cutleaf groundcherry is underutilized crop that has not been widely cultivated and is often considered weeds. Cutleaf groundcherry is rich in nutritional and phytochemical contents, which is beneficial for human health. Information on the growth, yield and quality content of cutleaf groundcherry lines is essential for future development. The objective of this experiment was to determine the variation among the lines of cutleaf groundcherry in growth, yield and fruits quality. Methods: A greenhouse study was conducted in August to December, 2021. Nine lines of cutleaf groundcherry were tested in randomized block design by following the recommended agronomic practcies. Result: The results show that nine lines of cutleaf groundcherry were varied with significant differences in growth, yield and quality characteristics. The line PA-06 was superior to other lines in vegetative growth and total dry weight, yield characteristics, namely fruit weight fruit-1, fruit diameter and fruit weight plant-1. The nine lines had the same as total soluble solids and ascorbic acid, but differences in β-carotene and antioxidant.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
