Comparative Transcriptomics Analysis Reveals the Differences in Transcription between Resistant and Susceptible Pepper ( L.) Varieties in Response to Anthracnose.

Pepper ( L.) is a herbaceous plant species in the family . Capsicum anthracnose is caused by the genus spp.

Optimized Pepper Target SNP-Seq Applied in Population Structure and Genetic Diversity Analysis of 496 Pepper ( spp.) Lines.

Peppers are a major vegetable crop worldwide. With the completion of additional genome assemblies, a multitude of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) can be utilized for population structure and genetic diversity analysis. In this study, we used target SNP-sequencing as a new high-throughput sequencing technology, screening out 425 perfect SNPs for analyzing the genetic diversity and population structure among 496 pepper lines from five pepper species in China and abroad.

Fine mapping of the flavonoid 3',5'-hydroxylase gene controlling anthocyanin biosynthesis in pepper anthers and stems.

Pepper ( L) is one of the most important vegetables grown worldwide. Nevertheless, the key structural and regulatory genes involved in anthocyanin accumulation in pepper have not been well understood or fine mapped yet. In this study, F, F, BCP, and BCP pepper populations were analyzed and these populations were derived from a cross between line 14-Z4, which has yellow anthers and green stems, and line 14-Z5, which has purple anthers and stems.

Identification of the GDP-L-Galactose Phosphorylase Gene as a Candidate for the Regulation of Ascorbic Acid Content in Fruits of L.

Ascorbic acid (AsA) is an antioxidant with significant functions in both plants and animals. Despite its importance, there has been limited research on the molecular basis of AsA production in the fruits of L. In this study, we used Illumina transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) technology to explore the candidate genes involved in AsA biosynthesis in L.

Dual RNA-seq Reveals the Global Transcriptome Dynamics of and Pepper () Hypocotyls During Bacterial Wilt Pathogenesis.

Bacterial wilt, caused by , is a serious disease in pepper. However, the interaction between the pathogen and pepper remains largely unknown. This study aimed to gain insights into determinants of pepper susceptibility and pathogenesis.

Target sequencing reveals genetic diversity, population structure, core-SNP markers, and fruit shape-associated loci in pepper varieties.

Background: The widely cultivated pepper (Capsicum spp.) is one of the most diverse vegetables; however, little research has focused on characterizing the genetic diversity and relatedness of commercial varieties grown in China. In this study, a panel of 92 perfect single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) was identified using re-sequencing data from 35 different C.

Identification of a Major QTL () That Confers Resistance to in Pepper () Using SLAF-BSA and QTL Mapping.

The soilborne pathogen is the causal agent of bacterial wilt (BW), a major disease of pepper (). The genetic basis of resistance to this disease in pepper is not well known. This study aimed to identify BW resistance markers in pepper.

High-density genetic map construction and QTL mapping of first flower node in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.).

Background: First flower node (FFN) is an important trait for evaluating fruit earliness in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). The trait is controlled by quantitative trait loci (QTL); however, studies have been limited on QTL mapping and genes contributing to the trait.

Genetic mapping of anthocyanin accumulation-related genes in pepper fruits using a combination of SLAF-seq and BSA.

Anthocyanins have significant functions in stress tolerance in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) and also benefit human health. Nevertheless, the key structural genes and regulatory genes involved in anthocyanin accumulation in pepper fruits are still not well understood and fine mapped.

Candidate genes for first flower node identified in pepper using combined SLAF-seq and BSA.

First flower node (FFN) is an important trait for evaluating fruit earliness in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), but the genetic mechanisms that control FFN are still poorly understood. In the present study, we developed 249 F2 plants derived from an intraspecific cross between the inbred pepper lines Z4 and Z5.

Evaluation of Ralstonia solanacearum Infection Dynamics in Resistant and Susceptible Pepper Lines Using Bioluminescence Imaging.

Bacterial wilt, incited by Ralstonia solanacearum, is a major disease affecting pepper (Capsicum annuum) production worldwide. The most effective management tactic is the deployment of wilt-resistant varieties. However, the lack of a nondestructive method to measure invasiveness and spatio-temporal distribution of R.
