Sweet pepper/Bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L. var. grossum Sendt.) is one of the most popular and widely grown off-season vegetables in many states of India including Himachal Pradesh. All the cultivars and hybrids being grown by the farmers are susceptible to bacterial wilt disease in varying proportion.Therefore present study was undertaken at the Research Farm of Department of Vegetable Science and Floriculture, CSKHPKV, Palampur, Himachal Pradesh, India during summer-rainy season 2007 & 2008 including some bacterial wilt resistant genotypes with the objectives to estimate the combining ability, gene action and heterosis on different yield components, quality, morphological traits and disease resistance in sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L. Var. grossum Sendt.) following line x tester analysis.Some high yielding, bacterial wilt resistant F1 hybrids were developed which were likely to perform better in the bacterial wilt prone high rainfall areas of Himachal Pradesh.This book covers the genetic, breeding, disease resistance, morphological and yield components of bell pepper breeding programme. It is helpful for researchers, students & vegetable growers to understand the crop breeding

This book contains complete information on Capsicum genetic resources, diversity, evolution, history and advances in capsicum improvement from classical breeding to whole genome sequencing, genomics, databases and its impact on next generation pepper breeding. Capsicum is one of the most important Solanaceae crops grown worldwide as vegetables and spices. Due to its high economic value and to meet the demands of enormous population growth amid biotic and abiotic stresses, there has been an ongoing breeding program utilizing available genetic resources with desired traits to increase the sustainable productivity of this crop for several decades. However, the precision breeding of this crop for desired traits only started with the advent of molecular markers. The recent advances in high-throughput genome sequencing technologies helped in the quick decoding of transcriptome, epigenome, nuclear and organeller genomes, thereby enhancing our understanding of the structure and function of the Capsicum genome, and helping in genomics assisted breeding. These advanced technologies coupled with conventional mapping have greatly contributed towards dissection and manipulation of economically important traits more precisely and made less time consuming.
