Capsicum pubescens Ruiz & Pav.: evolutionary history, genetic resources and future opportunities for an overlooked Andean chile

2026-06-24

Abstract excerpt

Growing concerns over food security, agrobiodiversity loss, and climate change are driving renewed interest in neglected and underutilized crops with high agronomic, nutritional, and adaptive potential. Capsicum pubescens Ruiz & Pav. is one of the five domesticated chile pepper species and a distinctive crop of Andean agriculture. Adapted to cool mountain environments and characterized by its conspicuous pubes...
