Authors: A.C. Maracahipes, J.W.S. Correa, P.E. Teodoro, K.L. Ara�ºjo, M.A.A. Barelli and L.G. Neves
Anthracnose is among the major diseases of the Capsicum culture. It is caused by different species of the genus Colletotrichum, which may result in major damages to the cultivation of this genus. Studies aiming to search for cultivars resistant to diseases are essential to reduce financial and agricultural losses. The objectiv.. Read More»

Genetic variability of a Brazilian Capsicum frutescens germplasm collection using morphological characteristics and SSR markers
Authors: S.I.C. Carvalho, L.B. Bianchetti, C.F. Ragassi, C.S.C. Ribeiro, F.J.B. Reifschneider, G.S.C. Buso and F.G. Faleiro
Characterization studies provide essential information for the conservation and use of germplasm in plant breeding programs. In this study, 103 Capsicum frutescens L. accessions from the Active Germplasm Bank of Embrapa Hortaliças, representative of all five Brazilian geographic regions, were characterized based on morp..

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»

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»

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»
