Molecular Markers in Capsicum spp. Breeding

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Production and Breeding of Chilli Peppers (Capsicum spp.)

Abstract

The genetic diversity among and within Capsicum species can be estimated by different methods and their choice is dependent on the available resources and the desired precision of the researcher. As well as in some species of economic interest, there are several studies using molecular markers such as RAPD, AFLP, SSR or microsatellites, and ISSR to support breeding in Capsicum. Although there are other molecular markers used for Capsicum, this chapter only emphasizes results of these markers, due to their large usage. They have been used aiming to estimate genetic diversity and to identify duplicates in germplasm collections; to develop DNA fingerprinting; to evaluate seed genetic purity; to assisted selection in breeding programs; for genetic mapping, and gene isolation research. These markers differ with each other on the ability to detect polymorphisms, at application cost, ease of use, and result consistency.
