Chloroplast (cp) genome sequences provide a valuable source for DNA barcoding. Molecular phylogenetic studies have concentrated on DNA sequencing of conserved gene loci. However, this approach is time consuming and more difficult to implement when gene organization differs among species. Here we report the complete re-sequencing of the cp genome of Capsicum pepper (Capsicum annuum var. glabrius...

Fourteen Solanum cultivars (S. aculeatissimum, S. melongena, S. torvum, S. trilobatum, S. stramonifolium, S. mammosum and S. wrightii) and fourteen Capsicum cultivars (C. annuum, C. frutescens and C. minimum) cultivated in Thailand were determined their total phenolic contents in term of gallic acid (g) per 100 g of crude extract and per 100 g of dry herb powder. The total phenolic content of S...

Pepper (Capsicum spp.) is one of the most cultivated vegetable and spice crops in the world. Capsicum genetics have been extensively studied, but the most recent Capsicum gene list was published more than a decade ago. Since then, new genes have been described. This updated gene list provides detailed descriptions of genes, including the genes characteristics, the genetic background of the muta...

pepper is one of the nutrition demanding vegetable. in order to compare n fertilizer uptake and plant numbers per area unit, an experiment was conducted with replications. in which fertilizer was the main factor and included ammonium nitrate in 7 levels (0, 80, 160, 240 kg /ha-1) and 40+40, 80+80, 120+120 kg/ha-1 (in 2 stages i.e. half of these amounts appliedpre planting and the other half of ...

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...

A range of gas conditions was generated by packing individual capsicums (green ‘Tasty’ bell peppers, Capsicum annuum L.) in packages with different areas of permeable low-density polyethylene film (0.0006–0.48 m) at four different temperatures (0, 12, 20 and 30°C). Steady-state O2 and CO2 partial pressures in the package were used to calculate rates of O2 uptake and CO2 production. The results ...

In Capsicum, the resistance against tobamoviruses conferred by the L2 gene is effective against all but one of the known tobamoviruses. Pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV) is the only virus which escapes its action. To identify the viral factors affecting induction of the hypersensitive reaction (HR) mediated by the Capsicum spp. L2 resistance gene, we have constructed chimeric viral genomes betwe...

Capsicum species are frequently described in terms of genetic divergence, considering morphological, agronomic, and molecular databases. However, descriptions of genetic differences based on anatomical characters are rare. We examined the anatomy and the micromorphology of vegetative and reproductive organs of several Capsicum species. Four Capsicum accessions representing the species C. annuum...

Ripe pepper (Capsicum sp.) fruits can display a range of colours from white to deep red. To understand better the regulatory mechanisms of the carotenoid biosynthetic pathways that underlie these ripening colours, Capsicum varieties that show seven different fully ripe colour types were analysed. The levels and composition of the carotenoid accumulation in these samples at different stages of r...
