First Report of Zucchini Yellow Mosaic Virus in Bell Pepper, Capsicum annum, in India

Antioxidant Potential of Bell Pepper (Capsicum annum L

The interests in the consumption of pepper fruits (Capsicum annum L.) is, to a large extent due to its content of bioactive compounds and their importance as dietary antioxidants. Peppers are used as a colourant, flavourant, and/or as a source of pungency. Peppers can be used fresh, dried, fermented, or as an oleoresin extract. It has both nutritional and nutraceutical importance. It contains a...

Study of resistance to cucumber mosaic virus watermelon mosaic virus and zucchini yellow mosaic virus in melon cultivars

Pepper yellow mosaic virus, a new potyvirus in sweetpepper, Capsicum annuum Brief Report

A potyvirus was found causing yellow mosaic and veinal banding in sweetpepper in Central and Southeast Brazil. The sequence analysis of the 3′ terminal region of the viral RNA revealed a coat protein of 278 amino acids, followed by 275 nucleotides in the 3′-untranslated region preceding a polyadenylated tail. The virus shared 77.4% coat protein amino acid identity with Pepper severe mosaic viru...

Peroxidase is involved in Pepper yellow mosaic virus resistance in Capsicum baccatum var. pendulum.

Pathogenesis-related proteins (PRs) are among the defense mechanisms of plants that work as an important barrier to the development of pathogens. These proteins are classified into 17 families according to their amino acid sequences, serology, and/or biological or enzyme activity. The present study aimed to identify PRs associated with the pathosystem of Capsicum baccatum var. pendulum: Pepper ...

Inheritance of resistance to Pepper yellow mosaic virus in Capsicum baccatum var. pendulum.

We investigated inheritance of resistance to Pepper yellow mosaic virus (PepYMV) in Capsicum baccatum var. pendulum accessions UENF 1616 (susceptible) crossed with UENF 1732 (resistant). Plants from generations P1, P2, F1, F2, BC1:1, and BC1:2 were inoculated and the symptoms were evaluated for 25 days. Subsequently, an area under the disease progress curve was calculated and subjected to gener...
