Abstract excerpt
Trichomes are present on nearly all land plants and protect plants against insect herbivores, drought and UV radiation. The trichome-bearing phenotype is conferred by the dominant allele of the pepper trichome locus 1 (Ptl1) in Capsicum annuum, Mexican 'Criollo de Morelos-334' (CM334). A genetic analysis using simple sequence repeats from pepper cDNA identified the HpmsE031 marker as tightly linked to Ptl1 in 653...
