Authors: L.R.A. Silva, R. Rodrigues, S. Pimenta, J.W.S. Correa, M.S.B. Ara�ºjo, C.S. Bento and C.P. Sudr�©
Since 2008, Brazil is the largest consumer of agrochemicals, which increases production costs and risks of agricultural products, environment, and farmers’ contamination. Sweet pepper, which is one of the main consumed vegetables in the country, is on top of the list of the most sprayed crops. The bacterial spot, caused .. Read More»

Novel and highly informative Capsicum SSR markers and their cross-species transferability
Authors: G.S.C. Buso, A.M.M. Reis, Z.P.S. Amaral and M.E. Ferreira
This study was undertaken primarily to develop new simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers for Capsicum. As part of this project aimed at broadening the use of molecular tools in Capsicum breeding, two genomic libraries enriched for AG/TC repeat sequences were constructed for Capsicum annuum. A total of 475 DNA clones were sequenced from both libraries and 1.. Read More»

Morphoagronomic and molecular profiling of Capsicum spp from southwest Mato Grosso, Brazil
Authors: A.L. Campos, T.N. Marostega, N.S.S. Cabral, K.L. Ara�ºjo, M.E. Serafim, S. Seabra-J�ºnior, C.P. Sudr�©, R. Rodrigues and L.G. Neves
The genus Capsicum ranks as the second most exported vegetable in Brazil, which is also considered to be a center of diversity for this genus. The aim of this study was to rescue genetic variability in the genus Capsicum in the southwest region of Mato Grosso, and to characterize and estimate the genetic diversity of accessions based on morphoagronomic de..

Activity and expression of polygalacturonase vary at different fruit ripening stages of sweet pepper cultivars
Authors: S.S. Ahmed, Z.-H. Gong, M.A. Khan, Y.-X. Yin, W.-L. Guo and J. Imran
Activity and expression of polygalacturonase (PG), a hydrolytic enzyme involved in ultrastructural changes in the pericarp of sweet pepper (Capsicum annaum), were investigated at different ripening stages of the pepper cultivars Mandi and Talanduo. Molecular cloning of CaPG was carried out by constructing a cDNA library from t.. Read More»

Endophytic bacteria from Piper tuberculatum Jacq.: isolation, molecular characterization, and in vitro screening for the control of Fusarium solani f. sp piperis, the causal agent of root rot disease in black pepper (Piper nigrum L.)
Authors: S.B. Nascimento, A.M. Lima, B.N. Borges and C.R.B. de Souza
Endophytic bacteria have been found to colonize internal tissues in many different plants, where they can have several beneficial effects, including defense against pathogens. In this study, we aimed to identify endophytic bacteria associated with roots of the tropical piperaceae Piper tuberculatum, which is known for itsresistance to infection by Fusariu.. Read More»

Molecular and agronomic analysis of intraspecific variability in Capsicum baccatum var. pendulum accessions
Authors: P.S.S. Leite, R. Rodrigues, R.N.O. Silva, S. Pimenta, A.M. Medeiros, C.S. Bento and L.S.A. Gon�§alves
Capsicum baccatum is one of the most important chili peppers in South America, since this region is considered to be the center of origin and diversity of this species. In Brazil, C. baccatum has been widely explored by family farmers and there are different local names for each fruit phenotype, such as cambuci and dedo-de-mo&.. Read More»

Genome-wide identification, phylogenetic relationships, and expression analysis of the carotenoid cleavage oxygenase gene family in pepper
Authors: X.H. Zhang, H.Q. Liu, Q.W. Guo, C.F. Zheng, C.S. Li, X.M. Xiang, D.F. Zhao, J. Liu, J. Luo, D.K. Zhao, J.Q. Zheng and H.J. Wan
Carotenoid cleavage oxygenases (CCOs) are a family of dioxygenases, which specifically catalyze the cleavage of conjugated double bonds in carotenoids and apocarotenoids in plants. In this study, genome-wide analysis of CCO genes in pepper plants was performed using bioinformatic methods. At least 11 members of the CCO gene fa.. Read More»

Genetic dissection of agronomic traits in Capsicum baccatum var. pendulum
Authors: M.M. Moulin, R. Rodrigues, C.S. Bento, L.S.A. Gon�§alves,J.O. Santos, C.P. Sudr�© and A.P. Viana
Genetic mapping is very useful for dissecting complex agronomic traits. Genetic mapping allows for identification of quantitative trait loci (QTL), provide knowledge on a gene position and its adjacent region, and enable prediction of evolutionary mechanisms, in addition to contributing to synteny studies. The aim of this study was to predict genetic valu.. Read More»

Novel genetic male sterility developed in (Capsicum annuum x C. chinense) x C. pubescens and induced by HNO2 showin Mendelian inheritance and aborted at telophase of microspore mother cell stage
Authors: W. Huang, J.-J. Ji, C. Li, G.-Q. Li, C.-C. Yin, W.-G. Chai and Z.-H. Gong
A novel genetic male sterile germplasm was developed by successively crossing of (C. annuum x C. chinense) x C. pubescens and by chemical mutagenesis in pepper. The sterile anthers showed morphological abnormalities, but pistils developed normally with fine pollination capability. We investigated fertility segregation through sib-crossing of the same stra..
