Pungency is a unique characteristic of chili peppers (Capsicum spp.) caused by capsaicinoids. The evolutionary emergence of pungency is thought to be a derived trait within the genus Capsicum. However, it is not well-known how pungency has varied during Capsicum domestication and specialization. In this study, we applied a comparative metabolomics along with transcriptomics analysis to assess various changes between two peppers (a mildly pungent cultivated pepper BB3 and its hot progenitor chiltepin) at four stages of fruit development, focusing on pungency variation. A total of 558 metabolites were detected in two peppers. In comparison with chiltepin, capsaicinoid accumulation in BB3 was almost negligible at the early stage. Next, 412 DEGs associated with the capsaicinoid accumulation pathway were identified through coexpression analysis, of which 18 genes (14 TFs, 3 CBGs, and 1 UGT) were deemed key regulators due to their high coefficients. Based on these data, we speculated that downregulation of these hub genes during the early fruit developmental stage leads to a loss in pungency during Capsicum domestication (from chiltepin to BB3). Of note, a putative UDP-glycosyltransferase, GT86A1, is thought to affect the stabilization of capsaicinoids. Our results lay the foundation for further research on the genetic diversity of pungency traits during Capsicum domestication and specialization.

Abstract The research aims to find out the effect of pre-germination treatment seeds using rhizobacteria as plant growth promotion of two varieties of red chili peppers in the field. The experiment used a randomized design of factorial groups. Factors studied were varieties (V) and rhizobacteria types (R). The variety factor consists of 2 varieties namely PM999 (V1) and Kiyo F1 (V2). While the type of rhizobacteria factor tried consists of 8 treatment, namely, control (R0), Azotobacter sp. (R1), B. megaterium (R2), P. atmuta (R3), B. alvei (R4), Flavobacterium sp. (R5), B. coagulans (R6), B. firmus (R7) and B. pilymixa (Rs). Each treatment was repeated 3 times, so there were 48 experimental units. Each unit of experiment is represented by 5 sample plants. The data was analyzed using ANOVA and continued with DMRT test at real level α = 0.05. The results showed that vegetative growth and production of chili plants until the age of 45 days after planting in each variety is not dependent on the pre-germination treatment of seeds with rhizobacteria. But the varieties of chili plants used affect vegetative growth and production. PM999 varieties are superior to the Kiyo F1 variety. Pre-germination treatment of seeds using rhizobacteria is relatively effective in improving vegetative growth and yield of chili plants. Among the 8 isolates rizobacteria isolate Azotobacter sp., B. megaterium, B. coagulants, Flavobacterium sp., and P. atmuta relatively effective to provide an increased effect on the growth and production of chili plants.

Color and pungency are the two main factors of chili peppers that determine their quality and final market price. In this study, we investigated the effect of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on fruit color and primary and secondary metabolites (capsaicinoids) in Capsicum annuum L. cv. Cheonyang. High-performance liquid chromatography analysis of acetonitrile extract of chili fruits revealed enhanced capsaicinoid contents in blue LEDs (180 ± 6.32 mg/100 g) when compared with fluorescent light (54 ± 3.12 mg/100 g). However, color of chili pepper was remarkably changed under different light treatments. Among these, high ASTA color values and chromatic parameters (L*, a*, b*, C*, and H°) were recorded under red plus blue LED, further indicating red plus blue LED is responsible for most vivid color development compared with monochromatic red or blue LEDs. In addition, we found total carbohydrate [22.32 mg·g−1 fresh weight (FW)], reducing sugars (8.27 mg·g−1 FW), starch (14.05 mg·g–1 FW), carotenoids (6.15 mg·g−1 FW), and protein (4.83 mg·g−1 FW) were significantly high under red plus blue LED. These results showed that there were significant differences of plant growth and production of various metabolites among the different LEDs. Furthermore, blue LED showed a relatively higher rate of capsaicinoid production and red plus blue LED produced striking color development in chili peppers. Therefore, the results presented here might serve as an alternative strategy for nutritional improvement (color, oleoresin, and pungency) of chili peppers.

Plant growth depends on environmental conditions, management conditions and soil conditions, which is why in this research we evaluated the growth of chili peppers in a sand-based substrate, under a protected environment. The treatments evaluated were: 1) soil (control), 2) sand, 3) sand-perlite (4:1) and 4) sand-perlite (1.5:1), which were established under a completely randomized design with six replications. The species used were Capsicum annuum L. Hungarian, serrano and jalapeño types, and Capsicum pubescens Ruiz & Pav. apple type. The sand-perlite mixtures benefited the growth of the chili peppers, with respect to soil and sand. Therefore, sand-perlite mixtures should be considered as an alternative to produce chili peppers in containers.
