C. simmondsii is the predominant pathogen causing chili fruit anthracnose in Fiji. Sequence variation of additional housekeeping genes should be adopted to further understand the phylogenetic relationship of Colletotrichum species associated with chili fruit anthracnose in Fiji and those present in the other parts of the world.
Two Capsicum annuum anthracnose resistant introgression lines with resistance conferred by different sources were crossed to develop a three-way population. In both resistance sources, resistance was controlled by a major recessive gene.
This project proposes to combine anthracnose resistance genes from two less widely cultivated chili species (C. chinense and C. baccatum) into the most commonly cultivated chili pepper, C. annuum. The research is expected to benefit chili pepper producers and seed companies in Bangladesh.
Anthracnose disease caused by Colletotrichum spp. is a serious disease of chili (Capsicum annuum), particularly in tropical countries. Host plant resistance breeding is one of the most effective disease management strategies.
In Taiwan, bell pepper seeds are mostly imported from abroad, […]
The Africa Vegetable Breeding Consortium (AVBC) was established in 2018 as an […]
Although they rather would have been out in the field evaluating crops, seed company representatives from around Asia gathered for a virtual annual workshop to advance shared priorities in vegetable research.
Seed companies use superior genetics from the World Vegetable Center to breed quality vegetable varieties for Asia’s small-scale producers.
