In order to support further genetic, diversity, and phylogeny studies of Capsicum species, the transferability of a Capsicum annuum L. simple sequence repeat (SSR) microsatellite set was analyzed for C. frutescens L. (“malagueta” and “tabasco” peppers) and C. chinense Jacq. (smell peppers, among other types). A total of 185 SSR pri.. Read More»

Intestinal alkaline phosphatase and sodium butyrate may be beneficial in attenuating LPS-induced intestinal inflammation
Authors: A.D.B. Melo, H. Silveira, C. Bortoluzzi, L.J. Lara, C.A.P. Garbossa, G. Preis, L.B. Costa and M.H. Rostagno
In this study, we evaluated the effect of intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP) and sodium butyrate (NaBu) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced intestinal inflammation. Intestinal alkaline phosphatase and RelA/p65 (NF-κB) gene expressions in porcine jejunum explants were evaluated following exposure to sodium butyrate (Na.. Read More»

Maintaining and restoring cytoplasmic male sterility systems in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.)
Authors: Y. Ma, W. Huang, J.-J. Ji, Z.-H. Gong, C.-C. Yin, S.S. Ahmed and Z.-L. Zhao
We studied the efficiency of maintaining and restoring cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) systems in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). An Rf-linked molecular marker was employed to analyze the interaction between 6 CMS lines (A), 5 maintainers (B), and 6 restorers (C). Sterility was maintained in the matings of lines 201A x 200B, 203A x 200B, 206A x 200B, 200A x.. Read More»

Optimization of virus-induced gene silencing in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.)
Authors: J.-E. Wang, D.-W. Li, Z.-H. Gong and Y.-L. Zhang
Virus-induced gene silencing is currently a powerful tool for the study of gene function in plants. Here, we optimized the protocol for virus-induced gene silencing, and investigated factors that affect the efficiency of tobacco rattle virus-induced gene silencing in pepper plants. Consequently, an optimal protocol was obtained by the syringe-infiltration.. Read More»

Genetic diversity in the germplasm of black pepper determined by EST-SSR markers
Authors: B.D. Wu, R. Fan, L.S. Hu, H.S. Wu and C.Y. Hao
This study aimed to assess genetic diversity in the germplasm of black pepper from around the world using SSR markers from EST. In total, 13 markers were selected and successfully amplified the target loci across the black pepper germplasm. All the EST-SSR markers showed high levels of polymorphisms with an average polymorphis.. Read More»

Construction of an integrated genetic map for Capsicum baccatum L.
Authors: M.M. Moulin, R. Rodrigues, H.C.C. Ramos, C.S. Bento, C.P. Sudr�©, L.S.A. Gon�§alves and A.P. Viana
Capsicum baccatum L. is one of the five Capsicum domesticated species and has multiple uses in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. This species is also a valuable source of genes for chili pepper breeding, especially genes for disease resistance and fruit quality. However, knowledge of the genetic structure of C. baccatum is limited. A refer.. Read More»

Inheritance of resistance to Pepper yellow mosaic virus in Capsicum baccatum var. pendulum
Authors: C.S. Bento, R. Rodrigues, L.S.A. Gon�§alves, H.S. Oliveira, M.H. Santos, M.C. Pontes and C.P. Sudr�©
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 cur.. Read More»

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»

A breeding program carried out under Brazilian growing conditions to obtain Capsicum annuum cultivars with disease resistance to bacterial spot (BS) produced 8 promising recombinant inbred lines (RILs). The present study aimed to characterize these RILs using phenotypic descriptors and molecular markers (inter-simple sequence repeat) and to confirm their .. Read More»

Physical location of the carotenoid biosynthesis genes Psy and �²-Lcy in Capsicum annuum (Solanaceae) using heterologous probes from Citrus sinensis (Rutaceae)
Authors: V. Andrade-Souza, M.G.C. Costa, C.X. Chen, F.G. Gmitter Jr. and M.A. Costa
Carotenoids are responsible for a range of fruit colors in different hot pepper (Capsicum) varieties, from white to deep red. Color traits are genetically determined by three loci, Y, C1, and C2, which are associated with carotenogenic genes. Although such genes have been localized on genetic maps of Capsicum and anchored in L.. Read More»
