To determine some physiological and biochemical changes in Capsicum annuum L. grown in vitro, the effects of different Cu concentrations on this plant were investigated. Cu was applied in the form of Cu sulfate (CuSO4) in three levels (0, 0.1, and 0.2 mM) and at three times (days 8, 10, and 12). With Cu treatments, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) activities, and total phenolic compou...

Chilli plants botanically referred to as genus Capsicum is the member of Solananceae family. It is the native to the Tropical South America and Brazil. The genus Capsicum consists of about 20species and only four species are under cultivation, out of which C. pendulum and C. pubescens are restricted to the South and Central America. The other two species such as C. annuum and C. frutescens are ...

Growing vegetables economically in the use of constructed wetland for wastewater treatment can play a role in overcoming water and food scarcity. Allium porrum L., Solanum melongena L., Ipomoea aquatica Forsk., and Capsicum annuum L. plants were selected to grow in hybrid constructed wetland (CW) under natural conditions. The impact of the ratio of nitrate to ammonium nitrogen on ammonium and n...

objectives: sweet peppers capsicum annuum l. (c. annuum) are an excellent source of vitamins a and c as well as phenolic compounds, which are important antioxidant components that may reduce the risk of diseases. the objective of this study was to evaluate their antioxidant activity under various temperatures. materials and methods: to compare the antioxidant activity in various temperatures (2...

The fruits of Capsicum annuum L. are used worldwide as chili peppers and in folk medicines. The pungent components of C. annuum, which are irritants, are called capsaicinoids (CAPS), and the most abundant components are capsaicin, dihydrocapsaicin, and nordihydrocapsaicin. To analyze CAPS in the placentas of Capsicum fruits rapidly and safely, we used a directly connected system of supercritica...

Genomic DNA isolated from zygotic embryos (seeds) of 7 chilli pepper varieties, namely Capsicum annuum L., California wonder, Yolo wonder, G-5, Pusa sadabahar, Pusa jyothi and LCA-335 and Capsicum chinense Jacq. variety Kotpar, was PCR-amplified using Pun1 allele specific primer MAP1. A DNA band admeasuring 479 bp was observed in C annuum L., varieties California wonder and Yolo wonder, while a...

The widely cultivated pepper, Capsicum spp., important as a vegetable and spice crop world-wide, is one of the most diverse crops. To enhance breeding programs, a detailed characterization of Capsicum diversity including morphological, geographical and molecular data is required. Currently, molecular data characterizing Capsicum genetic diversity is limited. The development and application of h...

Aims: Klebsiella pneumoniae can be defined as one of the virulent pathogens with a high level of antibiotic resistance. The goal of the presented work was to see if Capsicum annuum L. juice has antibacterial activity against K. pneumonia, a bacteria seen in respiratory tract infections. Materials & Methods: Fifty respiratory tract infections have been collected that include such bacterium’s r...

Capsicum (Capsicum annuum L.), commonly known as pepper, sweet pepper or bell pepper, belongs to the family Solanaceae and is one of the most important vegetable crops in the world.
