“…Quite possibly the main component for extending of production area is the prerequisite of high-yielding assortments. Consequently, several breeding projects have been carried out to increase the production of the crop [11][12][13]. To increase the current productivity of chilli as a vegetable crop less consideration has been paid to hereditary improvement.…”

“…At the point of crossing intersection among highly related parents then a low increase of heterosis is noticed, however high heterosis happens when the cross is made between parents of greater dissimilarity [13] and [11]. In the advance line selection process, heterotic group identification, pattern identification, and analysis of combining ability of sets of inbred lines play a significant role in chilli breeding [12] and [11]. At the same time, many studies have been conducted using heterosis breeding to increase chilli yield and quality traits [11,15,16].…”

Chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) is an herbaceous crop and plays an important role as common spices and vegetables. Pepper (Capsicum spp.) is one of the most cost-effective and agricultural vegetables in the world. The most significant characteristics of peppers, as spices and in various pharmacological uses, are pungency and oleoresin (color). Cabsicum annuum L. is widely used as a medicinal herb and in the Mediterranean diet (at the present, C. annuum var. acuminatum Fingerh. and Capsicum frutescens L. are considered synonyms of C. annuum L.). Capsicum annuum includes a wide range of carotenoids including capsanthin, capsorubin, beta-carotene, cryptoxanthin, lutein, fanthophyl, and xanthophyll, and capsaicinoid. However, it remains limited in production due to the lack of development in varieties especially under severe climatic circumstances such as drought, high temperature, or salt. Some reports were provided through distinct traditional approaches for genetic improvement. A combination of traditional and molecular breeding, especially breeding for heterosis, might be a good option for developing a novel genotype for ecologically adversely affected niche adaption. This review summarizes the current chilli breeding approaches with their drawbacks and highlights some recent classical efforts for the improvement of the crop. This would be the milestone for the breeders in the planning of a successful chilli breeding program to combat the adverse ecological condition. Thus, the information gathered in this article might be considered as the cornerstone of Chilli breeders at their ongoing and sustainable future programs as well.
