The ability of 114 younger and older adults to recognize naturally-shaped objects was evaluated in three experiments. The participants viewed or haptically explored six randomly-chosen bell peppers (Capsicum annuum) in a study session and were later required to judge whether each of twelve bell peppers was "old" (previously presented during the study session) or "new" (not presented during the ...

Successful hybrid cultivar breeding is depend on the high genetic diversity of plant sources, as well homozygous and genetically distant lines requiring hybridization. The aim this study to determine distance between inbred pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) in order increase efficacy program. In study, distances 44 bell peppers 35 banana were investigated using SRAP (Sequence Related Amplified Polymo...

Capsicum peppers are a fair proportion of total vegetables consumed in daily diets around the world. Whether the pepper type is non-pungent or spicy, the nutritional contribution of peppers to diet and human health is significant. However, the selectivity among seeds, carpal and placental tissues or pericarp tissues, makes a difference in the product harvest and quality of antioxidants and caps...

Understanding how the environment and production and cultivation practices influence the composition and quality of food crops is fundamental to the production of high-quality nutritious foods. In this 3-year study, total phenolics, percent soluble solids, ascorbic acid, and the flavonoid aglycones quercetin, kaempferol, and luteolin were measured in two varieties of tomato (Lycopersicon escule...
