“…This increase in temperature will have negative consequences for the vanilla crop, since it has been observed that prolonged exposure to 32 °C (an increase of 7 °C above the optimum) reduces the production of roots and shoots, while exposure to 35 °C (an increase of up to 10 °C) is inhibited (Barreda-Castillo et al, 2023a); furthermore, it has been observed that exposure to temperatures equal to or greater than 32 °C affects the viability of pollen, as well as the formation and maintenance of fruits (Hernández-Hernández, 2018;Iftikhar et al, 2023;Menchaca-García, 2018). The susceptibility of vanilla culture may not be limited to temperature or just to Mexico, since another vulnerability scenarios have been observed, like in Puerto Rico (Bayman, 2018), or Indonesia (Pinaria et al, 2010), where the root-stem rot disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vanillae significantly reduced the vanilla production.…”

Objective: To establish a time series model correlating vanilla production with temperature variation to forecast vanilla production in Mexico.Design/methodology/approach: Data on vanilla production in Mexico (Tons) and the annual average temperature were obtained for the period 1985-2020. An ARIMA model was constructed; Granger causality test was conducted to determine the effect of temperature on vanilla production, in addition to evaluating the orthogonal response of the model. A forecast for vanilla production was made for the period 2020-2040.Results: ARIMA (1,1,1) model was found, and the influence of temperature on vanilla production was determined. Both thermal variation and the production of the last three years determine current production. A reduction in the quantity of tons of vanilla produced in the coming years is expected. It is considered that this cultivation is highly sensitive to sudden increases or decreases in temperature.Limitations on study/implications: Vanilla cultivation is sensitive to temperature variation; therefore, in the face of climate change, it is considered necessary to take a series of actions in the present. These actions encompass a genetic perspective, new cultivation methods and locations, as well as technological investment.Findings/conclusions: Vanilla production is influenced by temperature variation and is sensitive to sudden increases or declines. If actions are not taken in the present, a reduction in the national production of vanilla in Mexico is expected due to climate change.

“…F. oxysporum f. sp. vanillae, patógeno fúngico más dañino de la vainilla, ha causado la pérdida de cultivos enteros en países como Puerto Rico y Costa Rica (Bayman, 2019;Varela-Quirós, 2019). Una vez que el hongo penetra a la planta por la raíz, los síntomas inician con lesiones de color café, seguido de ennegrecimiento y desecación del tejido, causando posteriormente la pudrición de la base del tallo, lo que conlleva a la pérdida de hojas, afec-DOI: 10.18633/biotecnia.v25i1.1737 tando la floración y eventualmente, la muerte de la planta (Hernández-Hernández, 2011).…”

Influencia de la temperatura en la infectividad de Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vanillae en Vanilla planifolia y en híbridos V. planifolia x V. pompona

et al. 2022

Vanilla planifolia es la principal fuente vegetal de vainillina, saborizante de amplia importancia comercial. Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vanillae, principal patógeno de V. planifolia, ha devastado cultivos enteros a nivel mundial. Vanilla pompona poseé resistencia a patógenos comunes del género. Variaciones climáticas extremas repercuten en las interacciones planta-patógeno. A partir del supuesto de que temperaturas superiores a 28 ºC intensifican la infectividad de F. oxysporum en vainilla, se determinó la influencia del incremento de la temperatura en la infectividad de F. oxysporum f. sp. vanillae (cepa M21C5) en V. planifolia y dos híbridos de V. planifolia x V. pompona. Se inocularon raíces de esquejes de V. planifolia y de los híbridos con suspensiones de esporas del hongo. Se midió el avance de la enfermedad durante 60 días a 25, 30 y 35 ºC. Se emplearon cinco réplicas por tratamiento, incluyendo un lote testigo. Se utilizó ANOVA post hoc Tukey (P = 0.05) para analizar los datos. V. planifolia fue suceptible a 35 °C y altamente suceptible a 25 y 30 °C. Ambos híbridos mostraron resistencia al patógeno en las temperaturas evaluadas. Por la resistencia mostrada, los híbridos de V. planifolia x V. pompona son una alternativa viable ante el patógeno.

“…An effective pollinator could reduce the need for expensive hand pollination, which can be a ‘make or break’ cost in vanilla production. A shortage of labor needed to hand pollinate the flowers was one of the factors that led to the end of commercial vanilla production in Puerto Rico (Bayman 2019). “The study of vanilla pollination is extremely important because the need for manual pollination, added to the ripening and curing time, causes vanilla to be one of the most expensive spices in the world” (Pansarin 2021, p 1).…”
