Bell pepper endornavirus (BPEV) is a double-stranded RNA virus infecting economically important crops, such as peppers. Next-generation sequencing of small RNAs extracted from the leaves of a pepper plant showing mild viral symptoms, along with subsequent analysis, identified BPEV. The complete genome of this isolate was cloned and sequenced.

In a letter to the Editor of Science (176, 966, 1972), Professor Szent-Gyorgyi described his approach to science as Dionysian. This little book provides some further insight into the meaning of this statement. In 114 pp. he writes about some of his research interests over the past half century. This account does not describe the work in much experimental detail, but rather tries to give the mot...

Capsaicin, the pungent extract of red peppers, has been used in clinical research for almost three decades. Capsaicin has gained favor as the provocative agent of choice to measure cough reflex sensitivity, as it induces cough in a safe, reproducible, and dose-dependent manner. One of the major uses of capsaicin cough challenge testing has been to evaluate the effect of a pharmacological interv...

In Western Nigeria samples of serum or plasma are often bright yellow and yet have normal levels of bilirubin. In a pilot experiment in 1959 we found that unusually high levels of total carotenoids were present in several samples of yellow serums. Edozien (1960) has since reported values for serum carotene in Ibadan ranging from 150 to 900 pg/Ioo ml in normal individuals, compared with the figu...

Chili peppers (Capsicum annuum L.) was one of the vegetables that have good marketing prospects in Indonesia. However, disease often found chili plants is anthracnose. Anthracnose usually caused by fungus, Colletotrichum sp. which can attack from growing period until harvest. The purpose this study to isolate and analyze phylogenetic fungi as a pathogen taken traditional market Bandar Lampung, ...

The present study shows the set of analyses conducted during development a hot chili pepper sauce to valorize green peppers usually discarded in Espelette region (France). A traditional production process was used as inspiration for product development, and two different fermentation processes were assessed characterized by measuring pH, sugar content, instrumental color, volatile composition, ...
