Integrated high-density genetic maps in multi-parent F2 mapping populations provide a framework to unravel the genomic basis of agro-qualitative and metabolic traits in pepper (Capsicum annuum).

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Pepper (Capsicum spp.) is a major vegetable crops renowned for its nutritional value and for the content of bioactive compounds with beneficial health effects. Due to its extensive agro-qualitative variability, this crop has a wide range of food and non-food uses, which drive its commercial value. In this study, quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping and candidate gene analyses were used dissect the...
