Cloning and expression analysis of heat-shock transcription factor gene CaHsfA2 from pepper (Capsicum annuum L.)
Authors: M. Guo, Y.-X. Yin, J.-J. Ji, B.-P. Ma, M.-H. Lu, and Z.-H. Gong,
The heat-shock transcription factor (Hsf) gene CaHsfA2 (GenBank accession No. JX402923) was cloned from the Capsicum annuum thermotolerant line R9 by combining the techniques electron cloning and rapid amplification of cDNA ends. The gene, which is 1436 bp in length, had an open reading frame of 1089 bp that encoded 362 amino .. Read More»

Genetic control of agronomically important traits of pepper fruits analyzed by Hayman�s partial diallel cross scheme
Authors: A.R. Schuelter, G.M. Pereira, A.T. Amaral J�ºnior, V.W.D. Casali, C.A. Scapim, W.S. Barros and F.L. Finger
Pepper species of the genus Capsicum have been cultivated over centuries, producing both pungent and sweet fruit; the pungency is caused by alkaloids called capsaicinoids. Among the five cultivated species, Capsicum chinense is one of the most popular, being native to the Amazon basin. This species is characterized by a wide variety of fruit sizes, shapes an..

Genetic determinants of the defense response of resistant and susceptible pepper (Capsicum annuum) cultivars infected with Phytophthora capsici (Oomycetes; Pythiaceae)
Authors: Y.-L. Zhang, D.-W. Li, Z.-H. Gong, J.-E. Wang, Y.-X. Yin and J.-J. Ji
Based on culture isolation and morphological observation blight-infected pepper plants in Shaanxi Province, China, we identified the pathogen causing pepper phytophthora blight as Phytophthora capsici. Varieties that differed in resistance (CM334, PBC602, and B27) were inoculated with this pathogen. The root activity of resistant CM334 variety was the hig.. Read More»

A molecular marker for in situ genetic resource conservation of Capsicum annuum var. acuminatum (Solanaceae)
Authors: N. Kaewdoungdee and T. Tanee
The Thailand cultivar pepper ‘phrik man bangchang’ (Capsicum annuum var. acuminatum, Solanaceae) was originally cultivated in the Bangchang Subdistrict, Amphawa District in Samut Songkhram Province. The cultivated areas are limited; we verified its distribution in Thailand for in situ ‘phrik man bangchang’ genetic resource conserva.. Read More»

Characterization and genetic diversity of pepper (Capsicum spp) parents and interspecific hybrids
Authors: M.P.S.D. Costa, M.M. do R�ªgo, A.P.G. da Silva, E.R. do R�ªgo and P.A. Barroso
Pepper species exhibit broad genetic diversity, which enables their use in breeding programs. The objective of this study was to characterize the diversity between the parents of different species and their interspecific hybrids using morphological and molecular markers. The parents of Capsicum annuum (UFPB-01 and -137), C. ba.. Read More»

Genetic diversity analysis of Capsicum spp germplasm bank accessions based on �±/�²-esterase polymorphism
Authors: E.R. Monteiro, A.R. Bronzato, G.R. Orasmo, A.C.A. Lopes, R.L.F. Gomes, C.A. Mangolin and M.F.P.S. Machado
Genetic diversity and structure were analyzed in 10 accessions belonging to Banco Ativo de Germoplasma de Capsicum located at Federal University of Piauí in northwestern Brazil that receives pepper samples grown in community gardens in various regions and Brazilian states. Selections were made from seeds of C. chinense (4 accessions), C. annuum (5 .. Read More»

Molecular cloning and tissue expression analyses of two novel pepper genes: heterotrimeric G protein beta 2 subunit and ArcA1
Authors: M.H. Deng, J.L. Huo, H.S. Zhu, H. Zhou and J.F. Wen
We isolated two transcription factor genes, heterotrimeric G protein beta 2 subunit (Gβ2) and ArcA1, from pepper (Capsicum annuum). The complete coding sequences were amplified using reversed transcriptase PCR based on conserved sequence information of Solanum lycopersicum and several other plant species. Nucleotide sequence analysis of these two gen.. Read More»

Inheritance of resistance to Meloidogyne incognita race 2 in the hot pepper cultivar Carolina Cayenne(Capsicum annuum L.)
Authors: Fausto de Souza-Sobrinho, Wilson Roberto Maluf, Luiz A.A. Gomes and Vicente Paulo Campos
Root-knot nematodes of the genus Meloidogyne are important pathogens affecting vegetable crop production in Brazil and worldwide. The pepper species Capsicum annuum includes both hot and sweet peppers; very little emphasis has been placed on breeding sweet peppers for nematode resistance. We report on the inheritance of resist.. Read More»
