Meiotic analysis of interspecific hybrids between Capsicum frutescens and Capsicum chinense [PDF]
Abstract The aim of this study was to observe the genetic relationship between C. frutescens (UENF 1636) and C. chinense (UENF 1785) based on the meiotic behavior, on the meiotic index, and on pollen viability of their F1 hybrids. For meiotic analysis and meiotic index, flower buds were collected and fixed for 24 hours in ethanol: acetic acid (3:1 ...

Endogenous GUS-like activity in Capsicum chinense Jacq. [PDF]
The gene uidA , codes for β-glucuronidase, which is one of the reporters more frequently utilized in transgenic plants. However, this can only be use if the selected organism does not present endogenous GUS-like activity. In tissues of C. chinense we found a GUS-like activity showing different levels of intensity. Histochemical screening showed that

Biocatalytic potential of vanillin aminotransferase from Capsicum chinense [PDF]
Abstract Background The conversion of vanillin to vanillylamine is a key step in the biosynthetic route towards capsaicinoids in pungent cultivars of Capsicum sp. The reaction has previously been annotated to be catalysed by PAMT (putative aminotransferase; [GenBank: AAC78480.1, Swiss-Prot: O82521]), however, the ...

Use of cassava wastewater in Capsicum chinense production [PDF]
ABSTRACT The use of resources derived from the agricultural property itself to meet the needs of producers promotes the reduction of costs with commercial inputs and recycling of by-products, among them the liquid waste from the cassava flour production, called cassava wastewater, which can be an important fertilization source.

Genetic variability of bioactive compounds in Capsicum chinense
Abstract Capsicum is one of the most important genera of the Solanaceae family. Among the domesticated species, C. chinense is considered the most Brazilian pepper, besides being known for having high levels of phytochemical compounds and, consequently, high antioxidant capacity.

In vitro propagation of Capsicum chinense Jacq.
An efficient micropropagation protocol was established for Capsicum chinense Jacq. cv. Umorok, a pungent chilli cultivar. Shoot-tip explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing cytokinins (22.2–88.8 µM 6-benzylaminopurine, BAP, 23.2–93.0 µM kinetin, Kin, or 22.8–91.2 µM zeatin, Z) alone or in combination with 5.7 µM indole-3 ...
