Pepper (Capsicum spp.) is a widely consumed vegetable with exceptionally large genomes in Solanaceae, yet its genomic evolutionary history remains largely unknown. Here we present 11 high-quality Capsicum genome assemblies, including two gap-free genomes, covering four wild and all five domesticated pepper species.

Pepper (Capsicum spp.) is an important vegetable crop that provides a unique pungent sensation when eaten. Through construction of a pepper variome map, we examined the main groups that emerged during domestication and breeding of C.

Unlabelled: Fertility restoration of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in is controlled by multiple alleles of () genes. The isolation of additional genes should therefore enrich the knowledge of CMS/ systems and accelerate their exploitation in hybrid seed production. In this study, the fertility restorer gene of '0601 M', a non-pungent bell pepper, was genetically mapped to a 1.
