“…Pepper material used in our study was a mixture of diverse genotypes with overlapping market classes. Domesticated C. annuum species consist of pungent and non‐pungent accessions within five broad categories: fresh‐market, processing, dried spice, industrial extracts, and ornamental types (Poulos, 1994; Srivastava & Mangal, 2019). Each market class is bred with a specific focus on horticultural and biochemical traits to meet consumer end uses of the fruits.…”

“…The hue and intensity of pepper fruit color are associated with the visual appeal of the fruit and consumer's perception of ripeness, freshness, and nutritional value (O'Donoghue, Brummell, McKenzie, Hunter, & Lill, 2018). Variation in the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway is due to multiple underlying loci controlling the biochemical variation in pepper fruit colors (Guzman et al., 2010; Paran & van der Knaap, 2007; Srivastava & Mangal, 2019). In our study, we had a diverse collection of pepper genotypes representing biochemical and phenotypic diversity.…”

Phenotyping for vegetable fruit quality traits can involve laborious postharvest and biochemical assays, decreasing efficiency of data collection. Portable devices that are easy to use and withstand in-field conditions to non-destructively and accurately quantify internal fruit quality traits would greatly enhance efficiency in breeding programs. We evaluated a hand-held quality spectrophotometer, the Felix-750, as an in-field tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) and pepper (Capsicum annuum) high-throughput phenotyping tool. Fruit quality traits included pH, soluble solids, carotenoids, and shrink in germplasm grown in replicated splitplot field trials. Germplasm included elite inbred cultivars and introgression lines Abbreviations: HTPP, high-throughput plant phenotyping; ILs, introgression lines; NIRS, near-infrared spectroscopy; PCA, principal component analysis; PLSR, partial least squares regression; RMSECV, root-mean square error of cross-validation; RPD, residual predictive deviation; SEC, standard error of calibration; SEP, standard error of prediction; UC, University of California; vis/NIRS, visible/near-infrared spectroscopy.

“…Our results highlight the diverging genetic bases of breeding for high yield in C. annuum and C. chinense . Pepper breeders have used wide crosses and introgression to generate high yielding varieties (Srivastava and Mangal, 2019). As a trade-off, these crops have less allocation of biomass to stems and roots, and increased susceptibility to diseases and pests.…”

The selection of pure lines followed by crosses to create superior hybrids is one of the oldest strategies in crop breeding. However, in domesticated species of the Capsicum genus hybrid breeding has lagged, in part due to a lack of detailed information about the phenotypic and metabolic consequences of hybridization. Here, we performed reciprocal crosses between four inbred varieties of two species of cultivated C. chinense (cv. Habanero and Biquinho) and C. annuum var. annuum (cv. Jalapeño and cv. Cascadura Ikeda). These varieties were specifically selected for their highly divergent traits, including plant growth habit, fruit size, shape and pungency: Habanero and Jalapeño peppers are highly pungent forms, particularly popular in Mexico. The Biquinho cultivar of C. chinense and the Cascadura Ikeda bell pepper are traditional sweet cultivars from Brazil. From the parental genotypes and from the progeny of the reciprocal crosses, we measured 31 phenotypic traits, including plant growth, and yield, 32 fruit shape parameters, and 50 fruit pericarp and placenta metabolites, including capsaicinoids. We found large differences for agronomic and metabolic traits between the genotypes, including heterosis for pungency and reciprocal effects for agronomic traits. We also show that the strong association between fruit shape and pungency can be broken in intraspecific hybrids, paving the way for the precision breeding of novel varieties.

“…Phenotypic selection can be practised as a field experiment or laboratory experiment (Garg et al ., 2013). Various molecular markers are utilized in genotypic selection (Srivastava and Mangal, 2019). Molecular markers such as Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphic markers, Sequence Characterized Amplified Region, Cleaved Amplified Polymorphic Sequence, Simple Sequence Repeats (SSR) associated with anthracnose disease resistance in chilli have been identified by many researchers (Voorrips et al ., 2004; Lee et al ., 2011; Ying et al ., 2015; Suwor et al ., 2017; Mishra et al ., 2019b).…”

In an effort to control anthracnose disease, one of the major problems that has been faced by farmers, 14 chilli hybrids and their parents were screened phenotypically using the fruit inoculation method under laboratory conditions. Genotypic screening of 14 chilli hybrids and their parents was done by the identified polymorphic markers, HpmsE 051 and HpmsE 082. Based on the phenotypic and genotypic data, chilli hybrids, H1, H2, H3, H4, H6, H7, H8, H9, H11 and H12 were identified as resistant chilli hybrids against anthracnose disease caused by the C. truncatum. Molecular markers, HpmsE 051 and HpmsE 082 could be utilized as polymorphic markers to isolate resistant genotypes against C. truncatum.
