“…The objective of Medel (2000) was to find defense strategies against the parasite Tristerix aphyllus; a 2-yr follow-up of Echinopsis chilensis and E. acida was conducted in northern Chile and both species were found to have high synchrony in the flowering season, which occurs from September to mid-November. All of this reinforces the idea that the observed variability could be due to the co-existence with other species with simultaneous flowering, as was found in several species of the genus Hylocereus that have a high hybridization ability between them and with the species Selenicereus (Tel-Zur et al, 2004). One of the highest CV values occurred for stem diameter; this trait could be strongly influenced by the age of the plant, which is a factor that cannot be controlled in wild populations.…”

There are endemic cacti species in the North of Chile with edible fruits and a fledgling productive potential, with unknown degree diversity. Low diversity compromises the ability of populations to evolve and reduces their chances of survival under environmental changes. Copao (Eulychnia acida Phil.), a cactus endemic to Chile that grows in the Coquimbo Region (30º S lat) and able to bear fruit in water stress conditions, were morphologically characterized using descriptors of other columnar cacti at three different locations where it usually grows wild. Five inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) primers, which were reported for other cacti that produced replicable and informative amplifications, were selected for the genetic characterization. Statistical analysis was performed to describe the diversity of this species and morphological and genetic results compared each other. High variation was observed between and within the evaluated populations for parameters of central tendency, dispersion, and univariate statistical analysis of the morphological traits. Principal component analysis showed that 73% of the population variation at the three locations could be explained by the first three principal components with 34%, 22%, and 17% of the observed variation, respectively. The five ISSR primers generated 7 to 11 polymorphic bands with a band range between 100 and 1517 bp. The polymorphic information content (PIC) averaged 0.75, which suggests high diversity between and within populations. Consensus of 85% existed between the selected descriptors and the ISSR markers, which points them out as suitable tools to analyze diversity in this species.K e y w o r d s : C o p a o , d e s c r i p t o r s , g e n e r a l i z e d procrustes analysis (GPA), genetic and morphological characterization, inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR).

“…Tel-Zur et al (2005) reported the fruit weight in the female parent (hybrids S-75 and 12-31) to be between 192 to 267 grams, depending on the pollen donor used. This trait was intermediate between the parents, indicating partial dominance or co-dominance, as was previously described for others hybrids (Tel-Zur et al, 2004.…”

“…The initial interploid crosses between the diploid H. monacanthus as a female parent and the tetraploid H. megalanthus as a male parent resulted in the release of two triploid hybrids (named S-75 and 12-31) to growers (Tel-Zur et al, 2004). These hybrids offered better taste than their diploid female parent and larger fruits than their tetraploid male parents, but, still, their spiny peel (a dominant trait), which is characteristic of H. megalanthus, was a limitation to further cultivation.…”

“…This notion was strengthened by performing crosses between the two species, which showed that the two can pollinate each other and produce viable seedlings (Gutman 2001). This compatibility is not necessarily an indication that the two are the same species, as we found that in vine-cacti inter-specific and even inter-generic crosses can produce viable offspring (Tel-zur et al 2004;Tel-zur et al 2011). however, it is important to note that C. jamacaru is another important genetic source for breeding.…”

1yoSeF MizRahi 2 aBstract-Several different species of the columnar cacti of the genera Stenocereus and Pachycereus, were introduced into different semi-arid ecozones in israel and most of these efforts were of disappointing outcomes, the only exception being the Cereus peruvianus (l.) Miller,which bore plenty of fruits, some of them of good taste. The original seeds of this plant were obtained from the late Mr. amram (Ron) Kodish, who collected seeds from various private gardens in Southern california which bore fruits of reasonable qualities. The initial success of this species led us to initiate an intensive research study, and today it is already fruit-crop, marketed mainly in israel under the name "Koubo". This paper will describe our work of domestication of this new cactus fruit crop in israel. Index terms: Cereus peruvianus, koubo, cacti. KouBo-uma nova Fruta para o mundoresumo -Várias espécies diferentes de cactos colunares dos gêneros Stenocereus e Pachycereus, foram introduzidos em diferentes ecozones semiáridas em israel, a maioria desses esforços foram de resultados decepcionantes, a única exceção sendo apenas o Cereus peruvianus (l.) Miller, que tinha muitas frutas, algumas delas com gosto bom. as sementes originais desta planta foram obtidas a partir do falecido Sr. amram (Ron) Kodish, que coletou sementes de vários jardins privados do sul da califórnia e que haviam dado frutos de qualidades razoáveis. o sucesso inicial desta espécie nos levou a iniciar um estudo intensivo, e atualmente existe uma produção dessas frutas, comercializados principalmente em israel sob o nome "Koubo". termos para indexação: Cereus peruvianus, koubo, cacto.

Genetic Relationships among Hylocereus and Selenicereus Vine Cacti (Cactaceae): Evidence from Hybridization and Cytological Studies

Abstract: The ease of obtaining partially fertile F1 hybrids and the relative sequence similarity (in GISH study) suggest close genetic relationships among the taxa analysed.
