Genetic control of pungency in C. chinense via the Pun1 locus.

Journal of experimental botany - 1 Jan 2007

Stewart Charles, Mazourek Michael, Stellari Giulia M, O'Connell Mary, Jahn Molly

Abstract excerpt

Capsaicin, the pungent principle in hot peppers, acts to deter mammals from consuming pungent pepper pods. Capsaicinoid biosynthesis is restricted to the genus Capsicum and results from the acylation of the aromatic compound, vanillylamine, with a branched-chain fatty acid. The presence of capsai...
