The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Capsicum chinense Jacq. (Solanaceae) [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA Part B, 2016
Capsicum chinense is one of the domesticated pepper species and well known for its distinctive pungency. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of C. chinense was generated by de novo assembly using next generation sequencing data. The chloroplast genome is 156 807 bp long, containing large single-copy region of 87 290 bp and small single-copy region

Integrated transcriptome–metabolome analyses reveal regulatory networks underlying soluble solids accumulation in Capsicum chinense fruits

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 1, July 2026.
SUMMARY The Capsicum genus shows remarkable phenotypic diversity, making it an excellent system to study non‐climacteric fruit ripening. Unlike climacteric model species, such as tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), the regulatory networks linking transcriptome and metabolome to fruit quality traits remain poorly understood in non‐climacteric crop species ...

Deficiencies of nitrogen, calcium, and micronutrients are the most limiting factors for growth and yield of smell pepper plants

Revista Ceres, 2023
Cultivation and commercialization of Capsicum pepper have great importance in Brazil. This work assessed the influence of omission of macro and micronutrients on the growth and mineral nutrition of sweet pepper plants (Capsicum chinense Jacquin).

Nitrate Promotes Capsaicin Accumulation inCapsicum chinenseImmobilized Placentas [PDF]

BioMed Research International, 2015
In chili pepper’s pods, placental tissue is responsible for the synthesis of capsaicinoids (CAPs), the compounds behind their typical hot flavor or pungency, which are synthesized from phenylalanine and branched amino acids. Placental tissue sections from Habanero peppers (Capsicum chinenseJacq.) were immobilized in a calcium alginate matrix and ...

Update of the list of qualified presumption of safety (QPS) recommended microbiological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 24: Suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until March 2026

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The Qualified Presumption of Safety (QPS) process was developed to provide a harmonised safety assessment approach to support EFSA Scientific Panels and Units. The QPS approach assesses the taxonomic identity, body of knowledge and safety of microorganisms intentionally added to the food and feed chain.

Can Capsicum spp. genotypes resist simultaneous damage by both Phytophthora capsici and Bemisia tabaci? Can natural enemies of Bemisia complement plant resistance?

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Capsicum (Solanaceae) includes peppers and chilies. Phytophthora capsici (Peronosporaceae) and Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) are two relevant problems in the production of this genus.
