Common Names: cayenne pepper
Key enzymes GGP in potato and pepper play vital roles in plant growth and stress response. Different gene expressions and responses to phytohormones and stresses noted. Understanding these genes can help improve crop resilience.
Scientists analyzed 106 B3 genes in pepper plants, uncovering their relationships and expression patterns during fruit development. This insight enhances pepper quality and breeding efforts.
Studied 30 chilli genotypes in different planting systems to identify high-yielding and stable varieties. Genotypes G26 and G30 yield stable, while G16, G22, and G30 have stable fruit numbers. HydroStock and BioHydrogel planting systems performed well, valuable for breeding and improving agriculture. (166 characters)
This study explores the use of medicinal plants in the Habru District of Ethiopia. The objective is to gather information on the plant species and traditional practices used by the local community to treat human ailments.
In this study, researchers focused on the pathogen Pseudomonas syringae, which causes bacterial spot disease in pepper plants. They found that the plants limit the spread of the pathogen and activate antioxidant defenses. This co-evolution between the plant and pathogen allows both to survive.
Alcoholic extract from red pepper in fish diets improved growth, enzyme activities, immune and antioxidant parameters, and decreased mortality rate after infection. Recommended level of supplementation is 1.6 g kg for optimal growth and health.
Study examines resistance genes in domesticated pepper relative and finds lower resistance in cultivated populations. Genes show different recognition and expression at various temperatures. Domestication leads to loss of resistance, with broad-spectrum resistance at higher temperatures having fitness costs.
Researchers investigated the defense response of pepper roots to Phytophthora capsici infection, a destructive disease in pepper production. Understanding this molecular mechanism can help develop effective strategies for disease management.
Researchers confirmed the presence of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) in 71 out of 100 chilli plant samples in India. They identified five CMV isolates, sequenced and analyzed their genomes, providing insights into the production of mosaic symptoms in infected plants. This knowledge aids in the management of viral infections in chilli crops.
This study corrects a previous article. It is important for you to care because accurate information is crucial for making informed decisions in your lab.
Various bioactive metabolites found in herbs such as Rosmarinus officinalis and Punica granatum have shown impressive angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity. These natural ACE inhibitors could be a potential treatment for hypertension, respiratory distress syndrome, and chronic kidney diseases, but more clinical trials are needed.
Researchers used genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on a diverse subset of Capsicum annuum accessions to identify genetic determinants of agronomic traits. They identified candidate genes and found this research can aid in marker-assisted selection and breeding efforts.
Pepper fruits were found to have compounds that inhibit tumor cell growth, alter antioxidant capacity, and induce cell death.
This study explored the use of different Capsicum annum extracts to combat rising drug resistance in Candida species, a type of fungus causing infections.
Researchers tested the effects of red pepper extract on male rats with induced Alzheimer's disease. The study examined the methods, results, and potential impact of the extract on treating the disease.
