Expansion of the Genetic Base by Interspecific Hybridization in Capsicum annuum and Capsicum chinense

2022
In Turkey, there is huge diversity in terms of pepper genotypes and varieties. However, in recent years, using standard andhybrid varieties in production caused the reduction of genetic diversity over time. While creating breeding programs fordifferent purposes, the existing gene pool is needed to be well known and it should be enriched according to ...

Capsicum chinense: Composition and Functional Properties

2016
Habanero pepper (Capsicum chinense Jacq.) was introduced to the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, via the Antilles. That place is currently the largest habanero pepper-producing region worldwide, with 732 ha under cultivation and 3700 t harvested annually. Its moisture content is within ranges reported for other commercial pepper varieties and is processed ...

Antioxidant Capacity of Capsicum chinense Genotypes

2016
The fruits of seven Capsicum chinense Jacq. genotypes grown in Yucatan, Mexico, were studied to determine their phenolic compounds, carotenoids, and ascorbic acid contents, as well as their free radical scavenging (ABTS assay) and antioxidant activities (s-carotene/linoleic acid assay).

Pungency inCapsicum chinense: Variation among countries of origin

Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Part B, 2009
Fruits of 63 accessions of Capsicum chinense Jacq. from the USDA/ARS Capsicum germplasm collection were analyzed for two major capsaicinoids, capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin, using gas chromatography with nitrogen phosphorus detection (GC/NPD). The objectives of the present investigation were: (i) to quantify the major capsaicinoids (capsaicin and ...

ScreeningCapsicum chinensefruits for heavy metals bioaccumulation

Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Part B, 2010
Elevated concentrations of heavy metals in edible plants could expose consumers to excessive levels of potentially hazardous chemicals. Sixty-three accessions (genotypes) of Capsicum chinense Jacq, collected from 8 countries of origin were grown in a silty-loam soil under field conditions. At maturity, fruits were collected and analyzed for seven heavy

Antioxidants inCapsicum chinense: Variation among countries of origin

Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Part B, 2009
The main objective of this investigation was to evaluate fruits of C. chinense accessions for their concentration of beta -carotene, ascorbic acid, and phenols for use as parents in breeding for these phytochemicals. Mature fruits of 63 accessions of C.

Variability for Free Sugars and Organic Acids in Capsicum chinense

Chemistry & Biodiversity, 2009
AbstractVariability in the concentrations of the chemical constituents that contribute to fruit flavor in Capsicum chinense is poorly documented in the scientific literature. We surveyed fruit of 216 landraces and cultivated varieties of Capsicum chinense acquired from North, Central, and South America, and analyzed these for concentrations of the ...

Inheritance and transfer of multiple-flower character from Capsicum chinense into Capsicum annuum

Euphytica, 1984
Capsicum annuum L. produces a single flower and thus a single fruit per branching node. In contrast, Capsicum chinenseJacq. yields two or more flowers per node. If genes for multiple-flowers per node could be transferred from C. chinese to C. annuum, it might be possible to breed C.

Indirect somatic embryogenesis and morphohistological analysis in Capsicum chinense

Biologia, 2010
Capsicum chinense is recalcitrant in in vitro morphogenesis. No efficient, reproducible somatic embryogenesis regeneration system exists for this species, impeding regeneration from transformed cells. An indirect somatic embryogenesis protocol is developed using mature C. chinense zygotic embryo segments (ZES).

Induction of Specialized Metabolism in In Vitro Cultures of Capsicum chinense Jacq

2018
A protocol for the elicitation of capsaicinoids, the pungent principle of peppers, as well as for the biosynthetic intermediaries vanillin and ferulic acid was developed for in vitro cell suspension cultures, and immobilized placentas of Capsicum chinense Jacq.
