Identification of the NLR Protein CbAR9 Conferring Disease Resistance to Anthracnose.

Anthracnose is caused by species and is one of the most virulent fungal diseases affecting chili pepper () yield globally. However, the noble genes conferring resistance to species remain largely elusive. In this study, we identified as the causal locus underlying the large effect quantitative trait locus from the anthracnose-resistant chili pepper variety PBC80.

The -Specific Truncated NLR Protein CbCN Enhances the Innate Immunity against .

Chili pepper () is an important fruit and spice used globally, but its yield is seriously threatened by anthracnose. is particularly valuable as it carries advantageous disease resistance genes. However, most of the genes remain to be identified.

Identification of QTLs Controlling α-Glucosidase Inhibitory Activity in Pepper ( L.) Leaf and Fruit Using Genotyping-by-Sequencing Analysis.

Diabetes mellitus, a group of metabolic disorders characterized by hyperglycemia, is one of the most serious and common diseases around the world and is associated with major complications such as diabetic neuropathy, retinopathy, and cardiovascular diseases. A widely used treatment for non-insulin-dependent diabetes is α-glucosidase inhibitors (AGIs) such as acarbose, which hinders hydrolytic cleavage of disaccharides and retard glucose absorption. The ability to inhibit α-glucosidase activity has been reported in leaf and fruit of pepper ( L.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Jacq. (Solanaceae).

is one of the domesticated pepper species and well known for its distinctive pungency. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of was generated by assembly using next generation sequencing data. The chloroplast genome is 156 807 bp long, containing large single-copy region of 87 290 bp and small single-copy region of 17 911 bp separated by a pair of inverted repeats of 25 803 bp.

Structural Modifications and Programmed Cell Death of Chili Pepper Fruit Related to Resistance Responses to Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Infection.

ABSTRACT Postharvest (detached) and in planta (attached) fruits of pepper plants, Capsicum annuum cv. Jejujaerae (susceptible) and Capsicum baccatum cv. PBC80 (resistant), inoculated with the anthracnose pathogen Colletotrichum gloeosporioides were examined using light, confocal laser scanning, and electron microscopy to compare the cytological differences between the compatible and incompatible interactions.

Linkage analysis between the partial restoration (pr) and the restorer-of-fertility (Rf) loci in pepper cytoplasmic male sterility.

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in chili pepper is restored by one major dominant nuclear gene, restorer-of-fertility (Rf), together with some modifier genes and is also affected by temperature. As a result, male fertility was identified as having several phenotypes. That identified and used in the present study allowed partial restoration of fertility, producing plants that simultaneously produce normal and aborted pollen grains, with most grains stuck to the anther wall, even after dehiscence, resulting in low seed set per fruit.

Application of RAPD and SCAR markers for purity testing of F1 hybrid seed in chili pepper (Capsicum annuum).

A simpler and better method for purity testing of hybrid pepper seed was developed. The simplest method for extracting genomic DNA, the NaOH method, was chosen. Two RAPD markers identifying male and female parents were also developed, and the PCR products of male- and female-specific RAPD markers were cloned and sequenced.
