can vary in pungency, and thus in their SHU. For example, bell peppers ( Capsicum annuum ) are not pungent (SHU = 0), while the spicy pepper cultivar Trinidad Moruga Scorpion ( Capsicum chinense ) is extremely pungent and can measure more than 2
leaves of 25 accessions of lutescens Capsicum species mutants and ‘Jupiter’ bell pepper ( Capsicum annuum ), our primary objective was to create an accurate and detailed phytochemical portrait of the lutescent phenotype. We hypothesized that all

The oomycete Phytophthora capsici Leonian causes root and fruit rot, stem blight, and foliar blight in pepper ( Capsicum annuum L.) ( Leonian, 1922 ) causing global yield losses ( Babadoost, 2004 ). Currently the disease is managed through the
source of breeding materials by challenging possible candidates with a wide diversity of pathogens collected in Japan. Materials and Methods Capsicum accessions. Eight Capsicum annuum accessions, which are previously described as resistant
