Journal ArticleDOI
Principle and application of plant mutagenesis in crop improvement: a review
Yusuff Oladosu,Mohd Y. Rafii,Norhani Abdullah,Ghazali Hussin,Asfaliza Ramli,Harun A. Rahim,Gous Miah,Magaji G. Usman +7 more
TL;DR: The potential of mutation breeding as a flexible and practicable approach applicable to any crop provided that appropriate objectives and selection methods are used is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular analysis of Hsp70 mechanisms in plants and their function in response to stress
TL;DR: The molecular mechanism of heat shock protein 70 kDa (Hsp70) action and its structural and functional analysis, research progress on the interaction of Hsp70 with other proteins and their interaction mechanisms as well as the involvement of HSp70 in abiotic stress responses as an adaptive defense mechanism are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Capsaicin and Dihydrocapsaicin Determination in Chili Pepper Genotypes Using Ultra-Fast Liquid Chromatography
TL;DR: All chili peppers studied except AVPP9703, A VPP0512, AVPp0307, AVBP0803 and AVPB0102 could serve as potential sources of capsaicin and could make them recommendable as potential Sources of Capsaicin for the pharmaceutical industry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Breeding for Anthracnose Disease Resistance in Chili: Progress and Prospects
Raihana Ridzuan,Mohd Y. Rafii,Siti Izera Ismail,Martini Mohammad Yusoff,Gous Miah,Magaji G. Usman +5 more
TL;DR: The use of marker-assisted selection on the basis of inheritance, the segregation ratio of resistance to susceptibility, and the gene-controlling resistance may contribute to the development of an improved chili variety and speed up the selection process, while also reducing genetic drag in the segregating population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heritability and genetic advance among chili pepper genotypes for heat tolerance and morphophysiological characteristics.
TL;DR: The results showed that the availability of genetic variance could be useful for exploitation through selection for further breeding purposes.
