hybrid, and CMS greatly facilitates the production of F 1 hybrid seeds without the need for flower emasculation ( Chase, 2007 ; Hanson and Bentolila, 2004 ). The pepper CMS system was first reported by Peterson in 1958 from an Indian Capsicum annuum
–10,000 years ago and has resulted in five distinct domesticated species ( C. annuum , Capsicum baccatum , Capsicum chinense , Capsicum frutescens , and Capsicum pubescens ), with the most widely grown species being C . annuum ( Bosland and Votava, 2012
). However, the accumulation of carotenoids in Capsicum fruit does not always increase with increasing light. Russo and Howard (2002) showed that seven of 10 red-fruited cultivars of C. annuum increased total carotenoid accumulation in fruit when grown
The oomycete Phytophthora capsici is highly destructive to vegetable species in the Solanaceae, Cucurbitaceae, and Fabaceae families ( Kamoun et al., 2015 ). Worldwide, it is the main pathogen limiting chili pepper ( Capsicum annuum ) production
Stip is regarded as a physiological disorder of pepper ( Capsicum annuum ) in which symptoms appear as brown, black, and yellow ovoid-shaped chlorotic and/or necrotic pod lesions ≈0.5 to 1.2 cm long and 0.5 cm wide ( Fulton and Uchanski, 2017
research was to determine which of the evaluated osmolytes could have a fundamental role in the water deficit tolerance of plants of the genus Capsicum ( Capsicum chinense var. Rex and Genesis and Capsicum annuum var. Padron). Materials and Methods

Chile pepper ( Capsicum annuum L.) is widely used as a vegetable and spice and a source of colorants and pharmaceuticals ( Wall and Bosland, 1998 ). Consumer demand for chile pepper has substantially increased over the past 30 years, especially for
deficit to reduce costs and potentially increase income. It can lead to increased net income where water costs are high or where water supplies are limited ( English and Raja, 1996 ). Hot pepper ( Capsicum annuum ) is a crop of major economic importance
