The use of volatile compounds as an alternative method in pepper breeding (Capsicum baccatum var. pendulum)

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to determine some fruit characteristics 19 different lines hybridized by previous regular studies. These were examined in order the differences among volatile components and reveal comparison with parents. Plant height (cm), weight (g), width (mm), length flesh thickness pungency, immature color mature determined parents F4 lines. As a result, wide range variations between terms all parameters apart from pungency. Especially components, it has been found that active substances are only father white genotype (Fenchol, spathulenol geranyl acetate), them mother orange (α-terpineol, dihexyl azelate 2-hexadecanol). It was concluded compounds species can be used as marker for breeding
