CULTIVO DE ESPECIES SILVESTRES DEL GÉNERO PHYSALIS Y SU RELACIÓN CON LA SINANTROPIA

The synanthropic species (weed) have been the object of study where they emphasize their attributes of adaptation to anthropogenic environments. The genus Physalis, is an ideal taxon to study the adaptation of these wild species to areas of cultivation. The objective of the research was to measure the adaptation of eight genotypes of Physalis in two localities, measured through an index to identify according to their morphological and physiological characteristics which are favorable to introduce them as cultivated plants. The experimental design was of complete randomized blocks with factorial arrangement having two study factors: genotypes and localities. The 16 treatments resulted from the combinations of eight species of Physalis and two localities located in Morelos and the State of Mexico. The data were analyzed with ANOVA and the means of the treatments were compared with the (HSD) test (p
