TL;DR: Gen mapping, allele sequence data, expression profile and silencing analysis collectively indicate that the Pun1 locus in pepper encodes a putative acyltransferase, and the pun1 allele, used in pepper breeding for nearly 50 000 years, results from a large deletion at this locus.

Molecular biology of capsaicinoid biosynthesis in chili pepper (Capsicum spp.)
TL;DR: The establishment of cDNA libraries and comparative gene expression studies in pungent and non-pungent chili pepper fruits has identified candidate genes possibly involved in capsaicinoid biosynthesis.

Genetic control of pungency in C. chinense via the Pun1 locus
TL;DR: In this paper, the presence of capsaicinoids is controlled by the Pun1 locus, which encodes a putative acyltransferase, and the absence of blisters in non-pungent fruit acts independently of Pun1 to control pungency.
Genetic control of pungency in C. chinense via the
TL;DR: Results establish that blister formation requires the Pun1 allele and that pun1(2) is a recessive allele from C. chinense that results in non-pungency.

In vitro chili pepper biotechnology
TL;DR: Application of both tissue culture and genetic transformation techniques have led to the development of chili pepper plants more resistant to at least one type of virus.
