Abstract excerpt
Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping for fruit weight and shape in pepper (Capsicum spp.) was performed using C. chinense and C. frutescens introgression lines of chromosomes 2 and 4. In chromosome 2, a single major fruit-weight QTL, fw2.1, was detected in both populations that explained 62% of the trait variation. This QTL, as well as a fruit-shape QTL, fs2.1, which had a more minor effect, were localized to...
