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.
