Abstract:The development of pepper cultivars with durable resistance to the oomycete Phytophthora capsici has been challenging due to differential interactions between the species that allow certain pathogen isolates to cause disease on otherwise resistant host genotypes. Currently, little is known about the pathogen genes that are involved in these interactions. To investigate the genetic basis of P. capsici virulence on individual pepper genotypes, we inoculated sixteen pepper accessions — representing commercial var… Show more
