“…The shape among bird's eye chilli genotypes varied with four genotypes being lanceolate, twenty-six being ovate (including Vellayani Samruddhi) and two broad-elliptic (Plate 1). Sahid et al [10] identified both ovate and lanceolate shape of leaves in C. frutscens. Most of our C. frutescens genotypes studied possessed ovate shape.…”

Chilli is an important commercial crop grown for its pungency. Capsicum frutescens L. is one of the five cultivated species in the genus Capsicum. These are widely used as spice throughout the world due to characteristic pungency and also have applications in pharmaceutical industry. Capsicum frutescens L. exhibits large variation in plant and fruit characters. The present study was conducted to evaluate bird’s eye chilli genotypes and identify the variation for some plant physical characters and fruit morphological traits (qualitative and quantitative). A total of thirty-three genotypes including a check variety viz., Vellayani Samruddhi (C. frutescens L.) were used in the study. Field evaluation was carried out and observations such as leaf shape, leaf pubescence, flowers per axil, fruit orientation (plant physical traits) and fruit shape, fruit curvature, fruit colour, fruit glossiness and seed colour (fruit morphological characters) were recorded. The results on morphological evaluation revealed that most of the genotypes (26) possess ovate shaped leaves with pubescence. Flowers were erect being one to three per axil. All the genotypes had moderately triangular fruit shape with no curvature. The colour of seeds varied among the genotypes including light yellow (UASBCF-19, UASBCF-29 and Vellayani Samruddhi) and rest of the genotypes being orange yellow. The average values for quantitative traits such as fruit length, width, number of locules, pericarp thickness and fruit stalk length were observed to be 1.99 cm, 0.66 cm, 2.00, 0.29 mm and 2.23 cm respectively. This variations in qualitative characters of the fruit can be utilized in crop improvement programme.

“…For all the genotypes under study, the fruit shape was found to be moderately triangular. Sahid et al [10] identified both narrowly triangular and moderately triangular fruits in that C. frutscens. Fruit curvature was absent for all the bird's eye chilli genotypes including the check variety "Vellayani Samruddhi".…”

“…The pre-Columbian distribution of this genus probably extended from the southernmost edge of the United States to the warm temperate zone of southern South America [ 27 ]. The genus Capsicum contains more than 30 species of chili [ 28 , 29 ]. Still, the five most cultivated and representative species are Capsicum annuum L., Capsicum chinense Jacq, Capsicum frutescens L., Capsicum baccatum L., and Capsicum pubescens (Ruiz and Pav).…”

The Genus Capsicum: A Review of Bioactive Properties of Its Polyphenolic and Capsaicinoid Composition

Chili is one of the world’s most widely used horticultural products. Many dishes around the world are prepared using this fruit. The chili belongs to the genus Capsicum and is part of the Solanaceae family. This fruit has essential biomolecules such as carbohydrates, dietary fiber, proteins, and lipids. In addition, chili has other compounds that may exert some biological activity (bioactivities). Recently, many studies have demonstrated the biological activity of phenolic compounds, carotenoids, and capsaicinoids in different varieties of chili. Among all these bioactive compounds, polyphenols are one of the most studied. The main bioactivities attributed to polyphenols are antioxidant, antimicrobial, antihyperglycemic, anti-inflammatory, and antihypertensive. This review describes the data from in vivo and in vitro bioactivities attributed to polyphenols and capsaicinoids of the different chili products. Such data help formulate functional foods or food ingredients.

“…The capsaicin in chili peppers is also used to prevent cardiovascular disease, cancer, and neurological disorders [6]. In general, fresh chilies contain 0.1-1.0% capsaicin which can be found in the seeds, skin, placenta, and flesh of the fruit [7].…”

Assessment of salinity tolerance on chili pepper genotypes

et al. 2023

Population diversity is necessary in selecting salinity tolerant plants. The objective of the study was to evaluate the tolerance of chili pepper (Capsicum sp.) to salinity stress. The evaluation was carried out artificially in a greenhouse. Twenty-four accessions of chili were grown on hydroponic media with stress treatment of 3000 ppm and 6000 ppm NaCl. As a comparison, the control was planted without NaCl. Nutrients were given from the AB mix nutrient solution containing macro and micronutrients. The study used a completely randomized design with 3 replications. To evaluate the ability of the genotype to adapt to NaCl stress, the difference between control and observations at 6000 ppm NaCl stress was calculated. The results showed that the growth of chili pepper genotypes under NaCl stress varied widely. There was an interaction between the genotype and the stress level of NaCl on leaf greenness and the number of stomata. In general, the stress of 3000 ppm NaCl significantly reduced chili performance starting from 6 weeks after transplanting. The stress of 6000 ppm NaCl caused some sensitive plants to die at 8 weeks after transplanting. The tolerant genotypes at 6000 ppm NaCl stress were A10, A21, and A33.
