Estimate of natural cross-pollination rate of Capsicum annuum using a codominant molecular marker associated with fruit pungency

The production of seeds with high genetic quality requires accurate estimates of the natural cross-pollination rate in cultivated Capsicum species. This is important in order to establish the most suitable isolation distance among fields of distinct genotypes, to minimize the risk of genetic contamination and to ensure that the agronomic and horticultural traits of ..

Novel and highly informative Capsicum SSR markers and their cross-species transferability

    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 144 SSR markers were tested on cultivated.. Read More»
