Unlocking the Potential of Chilli Variability for Superior Genotypes

THE ASIAN JOURNAL OF HORTICULTURE
Studies on variability, heritability and genetic advance in chilli (Capsicum annuum L.).
P. S. Ajjapplavara, R. F. Channagoudra

Paper Summary

The researchers studied genetic variability in 36 types of chillies to find the best ones for breeding. They looked at different traits like plant height and flowering time. Most traits showed high genetic variation and heritability, meaning they can be passed down to offspring. This information helps breeders choose the best chilli plants for future generations.
