Book Description
Chilli or Hot Pepper (Capsicum annuum var. annuum L.) is one of the most important economical and popular vegetable crops grown for its green fruits as vegetable and red form as spice. The present investigation was carried out to gather information on combining ability, gene action, genotype x environment interaction and magnitude of heterosis on different traits i.e. yield components, phenological, morphological, quality and disease resistance, by following 'line x tester' mating design. Significant genotype x environment interactions for all the characters indicated a definite role of environment on the performance of genotypes/crosses. The line x tester analysis revealed significant differences due to lines, testers and line x tester interaction for majority of the traits. The magnitude of non-additive gene action was predominant for majority of the traits with maximum contribution of lines in the expression of gene action. A wide variation in magnitude and direction of heterosis was noticed for majority of the traits. This book covers the genetical, breeding and disease resistance aspect of hot pepper breeding programme. It is quite beneficial for researchers and students.

Book Description
Although thought of as a minor crop, peppers are a major world commodity due to their great versatility. They are used not only as vegetables in their own right but also as flavourings in food products, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Aimed at advanced students and growers, this second edition expands upon topics covered in the first, such as the plant's history, genetics, production, diseases and pests, and brings the text up to date with current research and understanding of this genus. New material includes an expansion of marker-assisted breeding to cover the different types of markers available, new directions, and trends in the industry, the loss of germplasm and access to it, and the long term preservation of Capsicum resources worldwide. It is suitable for horticultural researchers, extension workers, academics, breeders, growers, and students.

Book Description
Peppers and eggplants are two leading vegetable crops produced and consumed worldwide. To facilitate the breeding for agronomical traits such as disease resistance and quality, diverse molecular genetic studies have been carried out. Recent achievements on pepper genome sequencing and trait-linked marker development have enabled the cloning of genes involved in useful traits. This book explores the agronomical and evolutionary characteristics of peppers and eggplants and the results of molecular genetic studies. Topics include molecular linkage maps and candidate gene approaches in capsicum and the structure of the pepper genome.

Book Description
Bell pepper (Capsicum annuum) is a highly consumed vegetable in the U.S. However, it is also highly susceptible to many diseases. Phytophthora capsici is one of the major pathogens of bell pepper production. Introgression of sources of genetic resistance into commercial varieties is an effective approach for disease management. In this study, resistance loci for different isolates in a pepper recombinant inbred line (RIL) population, along with some desirable traits such as fruit size and unfavorable traits associated with the resistant parent, were identified. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis identified the major components of P. capsici resistance, as well as components of resistance that were isolate-specific. QTL for organ (fruit and leaf) size clustered into a few loci in the pepper genome. The linkage map and correlation study revealed relationships among the traits. Genetic and physical genomic maps were used to investigate the candidate genes for all traits. R-gene complexes were proposed to contain the candidate genes for the resistance at the major QTL, whereas three genes on chromosomes 1, 2 and 3 were suggested for organ size. Combining the phenotypic and genotypic data from all traits, a RIL was selected for the resistant parent and crossed to bell-type varieties to develop marketable bell pepper lines containing broad genetic resistance for P. capsici.

Book Description
Capsicum, more commonly as chili or chili pepper, is an important global vegetable and spice crop. Anthracnose disease, caused by a complex of Colletotrichum species, is the major biotic stress limiting chili production in tropical and subtropical countries. Anthracnose disease mainly manifests itself as a post-harvest disease, resulting in large necrotic lesions on the fruit. This disease is mainly controlled by the application of a "cocktail" of fungicides as commercial resistant cultivars are not available. In recent years, insights into the complexity of the pathogen and the genomics of the host have been accomplished using cutting-edge molecular technologies. The author has been at the forefront of this technology revolution in Capsicum breeding through her research to understand the host and pathogen which has led to the development of new anthracnose resistant genotypes. Capsicum: Breeding Strategies for Anthracnose Resistance is structured based on a review of the origin and evolution of Capsicum, Capsicum genetic diversity and germplasm resources, the latest research in the biology and taxonomy of Colletotrichum pathogens of Capsicum, and the classic and molecular breeding for resistance in Capsicum to the suite of Colletotrichum pathogens that infect Capsicum globally. This book brings together knowledge on both the pathogen and the host, which is often overlooked when reviewing the breeding and genetics of a crop plant. It informs the facts behind breeding for resistance from both the host and pathogen perspectives.

Book Description
This book brings together recent advances in the area of abiotic stress tolerance in various vegetables, fruit crops, plantation crops and tuber crops. The main challenges to improving the productivity of horticultural crops are the different types of abiotic stresses generally caused by climate change at the regional and global level. Heat, drought, cold and salinity are the major abiotic stresses that adversely affect growth and productivity and can trigger a series of morphological, physiological, biochemical and molecular changes in various horticultural crops. To date, there are no books covering horticultural crop-specific abiotic stress tolerance mechanisms and their management. Addressing that gap, the book is divided into 2 sections, the first of which highlights recent advances in the general aspects of abiotic stress tolerance like the role of hormones, reactive oxygen species, seed treatments, molecular mechanisms of heat tolerance and heavy metal toxicity, while the second focuses on the abiotic stress tolerance mechanisms of various vegetables, fruit crops, plantation crops and tuber crops. It includes comprehensive discussions of fruit crops like mango, grapes, banana, litchi and arid zone fruits; vegetables crops like tomato, capsicum, onion and tuber crops; and plantation crops like coconut, areca nut, oil palm and black pepper. Among the strategies for plant stress survival, examples of both avoidance and tolerance relevant to particular crops are examined in detail, supported by selected comprehensive case studies of progress. As such, the book offers a valuable resource suited for scientists and graduate students working in the fields of crop improvement, genetic engineering, and the abiotic stress tolerance of horticultural crops.
