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. In this study, we identified the -specific gene , which encodes a truncated nucleotide-binding and leucine-rich repeat protein in the anthracnose resistant chili pepper variety PBC80. The transcription of was greater in PBC80 than it was in the susceptible variety An-S after inoculation. In order to investigate the biological function of CbCN, we generated transgenic tobacco lines constitutively expressing . Notably, -overexpressing transgenic plants exhibited enhanced resistance to compared to wild-type plants. Moreover, the expression of pathogenesis-related () genes was remarkably increased in a -overexpressing tobacco plants. In order to confirm these results in chili pepper, we silenced the gene using the virus-induced gene silencing system. The anthracnose resistance and expressions of , , and were significantly reduced in -silenced chili peppers after inoculations. These results indicate that CbCN enhances the innate immunity against anthracnose caused by by regulating defense response genes.

Odor-induced saltiness enhancement (OISE) is thought to be a unique salt reduction technique which capitalizes on olfactory-gustatory interaction. Volatile compounds of stewed duck obtained from orthonasal (no-treatment) and retronasal (saliva-treatment) pathways and their capacity on OISE were analyzed by GC-O-MS and molecular simulation in order to ascertain the role of odors in duck stewed with chili pepper on saltiness enhancement. Totally 17 unique volatile compounds were identified in retronasal pathways.

Sucrose nonfermenting-1-related protein kinase 2 (SnRK2) intricately modulates plant responses to abiotic stresses and abscisic acid (ABA) signaling. In pepper genome, five SnRK2 genes with sequence homology to CaSnRK2.6 showed distinct expression patterns across various pepper organs and in response to treatments with ABA, drought, mannitol, and salt.
