Resumen o descripción
Morphological characterization of habanero pepper (Capsicum
chinense Jacq.) showed that chilli fruit occasionally contains a small
internal fruit (SIF) developing inside the main fruit. SIF morphology
showed a normal fruit with pericarp, two locules and small
reminiscent ovules joined to placental-like tissues. Histological
analysis showed that SIFs maintain physical connexion with the
placental tissues of the main fruit through vascular tissues. A HardyWeinberg
analysis suggested that the frequency of SIF formation in
the Capsicum chinense population studied is not the result of natural
selection. This is the first report on this morphological abnormality
in Capsicum chinense and constitutes an initial attempt to explain
SIF formation frequency in this chilli pepper.
