“…philadelphica are considered the species with the most significant advances in their cultivation within the Physalis genus [ 26 , 60 ]. However, the former has a center of diversification in the Andean Mountains of South America [ 61 , 62 ], while the latter has a center of diversification located in North America and Central America [ 56 , 60 , 63 ], which is supported by this study where the two species were separated into different clusters. Overall, the results of this study demonstrated the usefulness of the common tags-derived SNPs to assess the genetic relationships in the Physalis genus.…”

A robust Genotyping-By-Sequencing (GBS) pipeline platform was examined to provide accurate discovery of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in a cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana L.) and related taxa germplasm collection. A total of 176 accessions representing, wild, weedy, and commercial cultivars as well as related taxa from the Colombian germplasm bank and other world repositories were screened using GBS. The pipeline parameters mnLCov of 0.5 and a mnScov of 0.7, tomato and potato genomes, and cape gooseberry transcriptome for read alignments, were selected to better assess diversity and population structure in cape gooseberry and related taxa. A total of 7,425 SNPs, derived from P. peruviana common tags (unique 64 bp sequences shared between selected species), were used. Within P. peruviana, five subpopulations with a high genetic diversity and allele fixation (H E : 0.35 to 0.36 and F IS :-0.11 to-0.01, respectively) were detected. Conversely, low genetic differentiation (F ST : 0.01 to 0.05) was also observed, indicating a high gene flow among subpopulations. These results contribute to the establishment of adequate conservation and breeding strategies for Cape gooseberry and closely related Physalis species.

“…Physalis angulata is an annual herb that is distributed from North America (southeastern United States) to Central and South America (to Paraguay) and the Antilles [19]. In Colombia, this species grows from 0 to 1800 m above sea level and could be found throughout the country, where it constitutes one of the most common representatives of the Physalis genus.…”

Physalis angulata Calyces Modulate Macrophage Polarization and Alleviate Chemically Induced Intestinal Inflammation in Mice

As part of the search for new bioactive plants from the Colombian Caribbean, the dichloromethane fraction of the calyces of Physalis angulata L. (PADF) was selected for its anti-inflammatory activity. In this work, we investigated the immunomodulatory effect of PADF in activated macrophages and during dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis. PADF displayed a low content of withanolides or phenolic compounds, and a higher content of sucrose esters, representative anti-inflammatory metabolites of the Physalis genus. The PADF fraction at 12.5 μg/mL prevented the induction of interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), IL-6, IL-12, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), while increased the levels of arginase (ARG1), IL-10, and mannose receptor C (MRC1). The polarization towards an anti-inflammatory profile was also observed in resting macrophages, without promoting the typical gene profile induced by IL-4, suggesting that PADF promotes a shift to a regulatory status rather than to an alternative one. In vivo, the administration of PADF to mice with chronic DSS-colitis reduced disease signs (i.e., body weight loss and colon shortening), and improved the histology score by diminishing the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and increasing the production of IL-10. Overall, results suggest that the regulatory effect on PADF towards macrophages might contribute to the therapeutic activity observed in the murine model of inflammatory bowel disease.

“…Mexico is the center of diversity of the genus Physalis with around 50 native species (Zamora-Tavares et al 2015). The Cienega-Chapala region that belongs to the Balsas Basin is an important center of domestication of species where some Physalis species produce edible fruits and are consumed by local people (Vargas-Ponce et al 2016). In this region, some species of Physalis are cultivated inside of corn eld (milpa system), for this reason, the fruits are knowledge as "tomate milpero".…”

Physalis ixocarpa Brot. is a native species that is consumed in many localities of the Cienega-Chapala in Mexico's Michoacan state. These fruits are cultivated and collected into traditional maize crops. The fruits are similar to P. Philadelphica, but the differences are in the fruit size and organoleptic properties (flavor, sweetness). According to antecedents of domestication that this zone represents in Mexico, is possible that P. ixocarpa shows incipient differentiation signals in genetic structure and metabolomic fingerprinting. Our objective was find evidences of genetic and metabolomic differentiation among populations of P. ixocarpa in the Cienega-Chapala. We used the sequencing of the chloroplast intergenic sequences psbJ – petA and trnL – rpL32, and the metabolomic fingerprinting by GC-MS. The results showed that exist genetic differentiation (FST) and signatures of selection (Fu's Fs' neutrality test) among populations. Moreover the metabolomic fingerprinting showed differences among populations and an increase of aldehydes, aromatic aldehydes, ester, and alcohols related with organoleptic properties of P. ixocarpa. We conclude that P. ixocarpa is an important genetic resource with signatures of differentiation in the Cienega-Chapala, Michoacan state, Mexico that eventually could be related with domestication signatures.
