The article estimates genetic parameters for yield components in pepper plants. The researchers studied how different traits like fruit weight and number are inherited in pepper plants. They found that these traits are influenced by genetic factors, meaning they can be passed down from parent plants to their offspring. This information can help breeders develop pepper varieties with higher yields.
