| description | Background and Aims: Wild red nanche develops in both temperate and tropical areas. In Mexico, it has been used as an ornamental and medicinal plant since pre-Hispanic times; however, little is known about its morphology. Therefore, the aim of this research was to characterize the morphological quality of fruits and endocarps of red nanche collected in the Central Valleys of Oaxaca, Mexico.Methods: Three study areas were located, but fruits were found in the municipality of Santiago Matatlán only. These were collected and transferred to the Seed Analysis Laboratory of the Colegio de Postgraduados, Campus Montecillo. For evaluation of the morphological quality of fruit and endocarps, four replications of 100 fruits were selected by Completely Randomized Design (CRD). With the obtained data, an analysis of measures of central tendency was performed using the SAS statistical package.Key results: The results indicated that the fruits of red nanche are large, oblate-shaped, the color of the epicarp is cherry to purple, that of the mesocarp pink to lilac, they taste sweet, and show adequate firmness and quantity of ascorbic acid. The fruit has three fibrous endocarps, is cone to triangular-shaped and has one to two embryos. The embryo is cream colored without endosperm, the cotyledons are bent at the apex and the radicle is present at the other side . It is protected by a thin brown colored integument.Conclusions: Variation was observed in the morphological characteristics. The fruits have food potential and quality for export. |

Antecedentes y Objetivos: El nanche rojo silvestre se desarrolla en climas templados y tropicales. En México, desde tiempos prehispánicos se ha utilizado como ornamental y medicinal; sin embargo, se conoce poco sobre su morfología. Por ello el objetivo de esta investigación fue caracterizar la calidad morfológica de frutos y endocarpios de nanche rojo, de los Valles Centrales de Oaxaca, México.Métodos: Se ubicaron tres zonas de estudio, pero solo en el municipio de Santiago Matatlán se encontraron frutos, los cuales fueron recolectados y trasladados al Laboratorio de Análisis de Semillas del Colegio de Postgraduados, Campus Montecillo. Para la evaluación de la calidad morfológica de frutos y endocarpios, se seleccionaron mediante un Diseño Completamente al Azar (DCA) cuatro repeticiones de 100 frutos. Con los datos obtenidos se realizó un análisis de medidas de tendencia central, utilizando el paquete estadístico SAS.Resultados clave: Los resultados encontrados indicaron que los frutos del nanche rojo son grandes, tienen forma de oblato, el color del epicarpio es guinda a morado, el del mesocarpio rosa a lila, de sabor dulce, con adecuada firmeza y cantidad de ácido ascórbico. El fruto tiene tres endocarpios fibrosos, de forma cono-triangular, y de uno a dos presentan embrión. El embrión es de color crema y no posee endospermo, los cotiledones doblados están en el ápice y en el otro extremo se encuentra la radícula. Está protegido por un tegumento delgado color café.Conclusiones: Se observó variación en las características morfológicas. Los frutos tienen potencial alimenticio y calidad de exportación.
