Open AccessGenetic characterization of a locus responsible for low pungency using EMS-induced mutants in Capsicum annuum L.
The pepper mutants (‘221-2-1a’ and ‘1559-1-2h’) with very low pungency were genetically characterized. The Pun4 locus, responsible for the reduced pungency of the mutant fruits, was localized to a 208 Mb region o...

Open AccessIdentifying candidate genes for Phytophthora capsici resistance in pepper (Capsicum annuum) via genoty**-by-sequencing-based QTL map** and genome-wide association study
Phytophthora capsici (Leon.) is a globally prevalent, devastating oomycete pathogen that causes root rot in pepper (Capsicum annuum). Several studies have identified quantitative trait loci (QTL) underlying resis...

Open AccessNew reference genome sequences of hot pepper reveal the massive evolution of plant disease-resistance genes by retroduplication
Transposable elements are major evolutionary forces which can cause new genome structure and species diversification. The role of transposable elements in the expansion of nucleotide-binding and leucine-rich-r...

Identification and molecular genetic map** of Chili veinal mottle virus (ChiVMV) resistance genes in pepper (Capsicum annuum)
Chili veinal mottle virus (ChiVMV) threatens the agricultural production of peppers (Capsicum annuum) in Asia and Africa. In this study, we evaluated ChiVMV resistance in the four pepper ...

Development of SNP markers using genoty**-by-sequencing for cultivar identification in rose (Rosa hybrida)
In this study, we developed single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers to identify cultivars of the polyploid Rosa hybrida using genoty**-by-sequencing (GBS). Sequences obtained from GBS libraries of the geno...

Marker-assisted backcross breeding for development of pepper varieties (Capsicum annuum) containing capsinoids
Capsinoids have similar biological effects as capsaicinoids, including anticancer and anti-obesity properties. The Capsicum chinense ‘SNU11-001’ variety of pepper was previously reported to contain high levels of...

Biosynthesis of capsinoid is controlled by the Pun1 locus in pepper
Pungency in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) has unique characteristics due to the alkaloid compound group, capsaicinoids, which includes capsaicin. Although capsaicinoids have been proved to have pharmacological and ...
