The ecophysiology of cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana L.) - an Andean fruit crop. A review
In a literature review of the ecophysiology of cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana L.) it was found that in Colombia this typical Andean plant adapts to a wide altitudinal range of the tropical cold climate, between 1,800 and 2,800 m a.s.l., with optimal medium temperatures between 13 and 16°C and b...

| description | In a literature review of the ecophysiology of cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana L.) it was found that in Colombia this typical Andean plant adapts to a wide altitudinal range of the tropical cold climate, between 1,800 and 2,800 m a.s.l., with optimal medium temperatures between 13 and 16°C and base (minimum) temperatures for stem and fruit growth of 6.3 and 1.9°C, respectively. However, this fruit does not withstand temperatures <0°C. The Andean conditions of the tropics such as high solar radiation and rather short day lengths <12 hours favor flower initiation. A duration of 1,500-2,000 hours year-1 of direct sunshine are the most favorable for the size, quality and ripening of the fruit. Under field conditions in Bogota we measured a photosynthesis rate of A = 10.545 μmol CO2 m-2 s-1 and light compensation point Ic = 13.645 μmol photons m-2 s-1. As this species with an indeterminate growth habit requires a constant supply of water, while high amounts or heavy rains after a dry season cause cracking of the fruits, the plant does not tolerate waterlogging for more than 4 days. Cape gooseberry is classified as moderately tolerant to salinity and 30 mM NaCl curiously promotes growth, since the plant has mechanisms such as increased antioxidant activity to protect against saline conditions. |

Con el fin de revisar la literatura sobre la ecofisiología de la uchuva se encontró que esta típica planta andina en Colombia se adapta a un rango amplio de altitud de clima frío tropical, es decir entre 1.800 y 2.800 metros sobre el nivel del mar (msnm), con temperaturas medias óptimas entre 13 y 16°C y temperaturas bases (mínimas) para el crecimiento del tallo y del fruto relativamente bajas, 6,3 y 1,9°C, respectivamente, sin embargo no tolera temperaturas <0°C. Igualmente, las condiciones andinas del trópico como es la radiación solar alta y las longitudes del día <12 horas, más bien cortas, favorecen el inicio de la floración. Entre 1.500 y 2.000 horas año-1 de brillo solar (luz solar directa) son los más favorables para el tamaño, calidad y maduración del fruto. Bajo condiciones de campo en Bogotá, se midió una tasa de fotosíntesis A = 10,545 μmol CO2 m-2 s-1 y punto de compensación por luz Ic = 13,645 μmol fotones m-2 s-1. Como planta con un hábito de crecimiento indeterminado, la provisión constante de agua es indispensable, mientras altas cantidades o lluvias fuertes, después de una época seca, causan el rajado de los frutos, igualmente como la planta no tolera más que 4 días el anegamiento. La uchuva es calificada como una planta moderadamente tolerante a la salinidad y 30 mM NaCl curiosamente fomentan el crecimiento, teniendo mecanismos, como el aumento de la actividad antioxidante, para protegerse contra condiciones salinas.
