Article Synopsis
- Phytophthora root rot caused by the pathogen Phytophthora capsici significantly affects chile pepper production, prompting a study to find genetic resistance in 157 Capsicum genotypes.
- Using genome-wide association studies (GWAS) with over 55,000 SNP markers, researchers identified 330 significant markers linked to resistance, with some markers indicating more durable resistance across multiple plant isolates.
- The findings will support future breeding programs and marker-assisted strategies to enhance resistance against Phytophthora root rot in chile peppers, focusing on specific candidate genes associated with resistance traits.
