“…Because the CF.DF -1 of BRS Minipitaya do Cerrado, BRS Lua do Cerrado and BRS Luz do Cerrado fruits were close to 1.5, their fruits were a little more elongated (Table 1). These results were similar to the ones observed by other authors, who also classified the S. undatus fruits as slightly oblong (CHIK et al, 2011;TRAN e YEN, 2014;OSUNA-ENCISO et al, 2016;PATWARY et al, 2013) The largest CF.DF -1 ratio was found in BRS Âmbar do Cerrado fruits (1.96 in the 2019/2020 cycle and 1.83 in the 2020/2021 cycle) presenting fruits typically ovoid (Table 1). These data corroborate with he reported by Chik et al (2011) 2).…”

The Embrapa Cerrados pitaya breeding program developed five superior genotypes of different species. The objective of this work was to evaluate the yield capacity of these five pitaya genotypes under the edaphoclimatic conditions of the Federal District. The experiment was carried out at the Embrapa Cerrados in Planaltina, DF. The five selected pitaya genotypes were evaluated, as well as a parent genotype used in the breeding program. Length (CF), diameter (DF) and mass (MF) of all fruits were evaluated, as well as the length/diameter ratio (CF.DF-1), number of fruits per plant (NF.PL-1), production per plant (kg.PL-1) and estimated productivity (t.ha-1). BRS Luz do Cerrado and BRS Lua do Cerrado presented larger and heavier fruits, while BRS Minipitaya do Cerrado presented the smallest fruits. CPAC Roxa and BRS Granada do Cerrado presented more rounded fruits. BRS Granada do Cerrado had the highest yield capacity in the two evaluated crops. The results obtained prove the importance of genetic breeding and the selection of superior genotypes more adapted to the region of cultivation, in order to guarantee greater profitability and products of better quality to rural producers and consumers.

“…However, Chitarra and Chitarra (2005) recommend caution in establishing this relationship because insipid fruits, containing low levels of soluble solids and acids, present high ratios, which can lead to erroneous interpretations of quality. As reported by Osuna Enciso et al (2011), the increase in the ratio of pitaya fruits is due to the drastic reduction in titratable acidity, not an indicator of quality since soluble solids do not increase. Martínez (2011) andCenturión Yah et al (2008) also observed that the increase in the ratio was due to the decrease in acidity.…”

“…The soluble solids content is dependent on the maturation stage and generally increases during maturation evolution through biosynthesis or degradation of polysaccharides (Chitarra and Chitarra, 2005). Some authors evaluated the soluble solids content in pitaya fruits and observed an increase in this variable with the advancement of maturation, obtaining ripe fruits with 12.2 ºBrix (Ortiz and Takahashi, 2015) and 13.6 ºBrix (Osuna Enciso et al, 2011). Other authors, when evaluating different pitaya genetic materials, reported values from 10.9 to 14.1 ºBrix (Castillo- Martínez et al, 2005), 14.5 to 17.6 ºBrix (Martínez, 2011), 12.0 to 16.0 ºBrix (Livera-Muñoz et al, 2010) and 16.0 to 17.0 ºBrix .…”

The fruit of pitaya has occupied a growing niche in the fruit market, since its organoleptic characteristics and rusticity have attracted the attention of consumers and producers, respectively. The organoleptic and nutritional quality of fruits are due to maturity stage. Therefore, determining the period in which the fruits reach the physiological maturity is important, since it aids the planning of the harvest and the quality control of fruits. In this sense, the aim of this review is establish the ideal period for harvesting their fruits of pitaya (Hylocereus undatus), by determining of the physiological maturity point. For this species, the number of days from anthesis to the full development of the fruit has shown to be the most reliable variable to determine the moment of harvest. From this designation, it is possible to indicate the stage (physiological maturity) in which the fruits present characteristics favorable to the species, for example, color, soluble solids content, ratio, and others. It is known that the place of production and the edaphoclimatic conditions are able to interfere and cause variation in the period in which the fruits reach the physiological maturity. Some studies in Mexico confirmed that the physiological maturation of pitaya fruits occurred between 25 and 31 days after anthesis (DAA). Other researches, including in Brazil, confirmed that this point occurred from 28 to 32 DAA. Thus, from the scientific studies carried out and published in the literature, to avoid losing their commercial value of fruits, it is recommended to harvest this fruits of pitaya between 25 and 32 DAA.

“…To identify if dragonfruit varieties in homegardens may have had an extended reproductive phenology, data on the frequency of flower and fruit production in the Yucatan state were compared to those reported for commercial/industrial plantations of H. undatus in other Mexican states (Castillo-Martínez and Ortiz-Hernandez 1994; Martínez-Ruiz et al 2017; Osuna-Enciso et al 2016). The results of the management practices interviews were compared to those obtained from a similar survey of Campeche homegardens (Manzanero-Acevedo et al 2014).…”

Homegardens are reservoirs of genetic resources. When native plant populations are compromised, traditional management of homegardens can be an effective means of conserving species and enhancing food security. Hylocereus undatus (dragonfruit) is a key species in homegardens but is rarely found in wild populations in the Yucatan. We analyzed management practices and genetic diversity of dragonfruit grown in homegardens in three climate regions (West, Central, and East) in the state of Yucatan, Mexico. Dragonfruit presence and reproductive phenology were documented via 2,660 surveys applied in seventeen municipalities. Eighty-nine semi-structured interviews were conducted to document dragonfruit management and use. Seventy-one specimens were collected among nine populations to characterize genetic diversity with DNA Inter Simple Sequence Repeats (ISSRs) markers. Dragonfruit was found in 12.4% of homegardens, propagated via cuttings (98%), received minimal agricultural management, and flowered and fruited in different seasons among regions. Its fruits were consumed fresh or as a beverage and different parts of the plants were used to treat dysentery, kidney stones, hair loss, and gastritis. Genetic diversity among regions was moderate (PLP [polymorphic loci] = 25.1 to 53.3%; He [expected heterozygosity] = 0.075 to 0.138), but the polymorphism information content (PIC) values were at the most 20% lower than those estimated from an ex situ germplasm collection of Hylocereus spp. A Bayesian assignment analysis identified two genetic lineages (K = 2): one in the West and East regions and another in the West and Central regions. Genetic differentiation Jaccard indexes among accessions from all homegardens were similar to those found among wild accessions from Mexico. We conclude, therefore, that homegardens in Yucatan are important in conserving the regional biocultural heritage of dragonfruit.
