“…P. philadelphica is the most renowned species due to its global production and consumption [17]. Conversely, the species P. angulata and P. ixocarpa are fruits primarily produced and consumed in specific regions of Mexico [3,4,8], and they exhibit morphological and organoleptic characteristics distinct from P. philadelphica, which are valued by locals [13].…”

“…The lack of selection based on size suggests that the primary focus in the selection process revolves around traits associated with fruit flavors [5,13]. Both Physalis species are reported to have more pleasant tastes than their commercial counterparts.…”

“…Previous research suggests that the domestication of these species is still ongoing, though not necessarily with a focus on increasing fruit size or yield [13]. However, both species are valued for their organoleptic properties in contrast to commercial tomatoes.…”

This study investigated the chemical and sensory distinctions in tomato fruits from three Physalis species (P. ixocarpa, P. angulata, and P. philadelphica) found in Michoacán, Mexico, using metabolomic fingerprinting through GC-MS analysis. The objective was to identify organoleptic differences that could influence consumer preferences, highlighting the significance of these species’ unique traits. These species represented a valuable genetic reservoir for potential hybridization or selection aimed at enhancing commercial varieties by focusing on organoleptic properties rather than traditional selection criteria like fruit size or yield. This research emphasizes the importance of preserving Mexican biodiversity and providing insights into domestication processes that prioritize flavor and sensory qualities. By analyzing metabolite profiles and their correlation with taste preferences, this study contributes to understanding how these differences could be leveraged in breeding programs to develop new tomato varieties with preferred flavors. It was suggested that variations in taste among the species are mainly due to differences in metabolite expression. This knowledge underscores the importance of organoleptic properties in the selection and domestication of edible fruits, offering a pathway toward the conservation and enhancement of tomato varieties through the exploitation of genetic diversity for organoleptic improvement.

“…ex Hornem is a species highly appreciated by producing edible fruits similar to commercial husk tomato (Physalis philadelphica Lam.). The differences between species are the size of fruits (P. ixocarpa fruits are smaller than P. philadelphica), and the organoleptic characteristics that confer to P. ixocarpa a sweet flavor that is preferred by local people [10]. In this sense, the market price of P. ixocarpa fruits is 5 to 6 folds the cost of commercial husk tomatoes.…”

Michoacan state has a long history in plant domestication’s. Physalis ixocarpa is a native plant that growth associated to maize crops from this region. Due to the domestication process includes the adaptation to environmental factors, we ask if (1) Does P. ixocarpa has the capacity of association with bacterial communities of the zone where it was domesticated? and (2) Does the rhizobiome of this plant can increase the potential functions in the soil? An experiment was established in a traditional milpa system. Samples of rhizobiome from corn, P. ixocarpa, P. philadelphica, and soil were sequenced using Next Generation Sequencing in the region 16S. The potential function, metabolic pathway reconstruction and participation of each bacteria genus was inferred using iVikodak platform. A total of 34 Phyla and 795 genera were identified. Purine metabolism’s was the principal function, where all rhizobiomes showed similar metabolic pathways. However, the difference among plant species is the participation of the distinct genera in the Purine metabolism. We conclude that the rhizobiome of P. ixocarpa maintains the capacity of bacterial association in the region and shows complementarity for the soil functions. Therefore, their utilization can be helpful in zones where the agricultural practices have degraded microbiological soil conditions.
