Abstract
Se cuantificó la relación entre características morfológicas del fruto de cuayote (Gonolobus edulis). Entre setiembre y noviembre de 2024, se colectaron frutos de cuatro accesiones de cuayote, y se evaluaron las siguientes características: peso (g), longitud (mm), ancho (mm), grosor (mm), número de alas ventrales (completas, incompletas y total), número de alas dorsales (completas, incompletas y total), número total de alas completas, número total de alas incompletas, número total de alas longitudinales, relación longitud: ancho, relación longitud: grosor, y relación ancho:grosor. Se calculó la correlación de Spearman para la relación entre todas las variables, y también para la relación entre la altitud del sitio de recolección y las demás variables. Se hallaron 20 correlaciones entre variables que fueron altas (r≥0,63) y significativas (p≤0,05), de las cuales 13 fueron entre variables relacionadas con las alas del fruto. Se obtuvo una correlación positiva alta entre la altitud del sitio de recolección y: peso (r=0,72**), ancho (r=0,66**), y grosor (r=0,71**) del fruto. Este trabajo constituye el primer informe sobre el estudio de las relaciones entre características morfológicas de los frutos de cuayote.
The relationship between morphological characteristics of the cuayote (Gonolobus edulis) fruit was quantified. Between September and November 2024, fruits were collected from four cuayote accessions, and the following characteristics were evaluated: weight (g), length (mm), width (mm), thickness (mm), number of ventral wings (complete, incomplete and total), number of dorsal wings (complete, incomplete and total), total number of complete wings, total number of incomplete wings, total number of longitudinal wings, length:width ratio, length:thickness ratio, and width:thickness ratio. Spearman’s correlation was calculated for the relationship between all variables, and also for the relationship between the altitude of the collection site and the other variables. Twenty correlations were found between variables that were high (r≥0.63) and significant (p≤0.05), of which 13 were between variables related to the wings of the fruit. A high positive correlation was found between altitude of the collection site and: weight (r=0.72**), width (r=0.66**), and thickness (r=0.71**) of the fruit. This work constitutes the first report on the study of the relationships between morphological characteristics of cuayote fruits.
