| the antimicrobial properties of chile peppers (capsicum species) and their uses in mayan medicine. | a survey of the mayan pharmacopoeia revealed that tissues of capsicum species (solanaceae) are included in a number of herbal remedies for a variety of ailments of probable microbial origin. using a filter disk assay, plain and heated aqueous extracts from fresh capsicum annuum, capsicum baccatum, capsicum chinese, capsicum frutescens, and capsicum pubescens varieties were tested for their antimicrobial effects with fifteen bacterial species and one yeast species. two pungent compounds found in ... | 1996 | 8735449 |
| pathotypes of bacterial spot pathogen infecting capsicum peppers in korea. | sixty-seven isolates of bacterial spot pathogen (xanthomonas spp.) collected from six provinces of korea were tested for the identification of their pathotypes and determination of their distribution throughout korea in an effort to genetically manage the disease. near isogenic lines of early calwonder (capsicum annuum) pepper plants carrying bs1 , bs2 and bs3 , and pi235047 (c. pubescens) were used as differential hosts. race p1 was found to be predominant, followed by race p7, and races p3 and ... | 2015 | 26674555 |
| unilateral incompatibility in capsicum (solanaceae): occurrence and taxonomic distribution. | unilateral incompatibility (ui) occurs when pollinations between species are successful in one direction but not in the other. self-incompatible (si) species frequently show ui with genetically related, self-compatible (sc) species, as pollen of si species is compatible on the sc pistil, but not vice versa. many examples of unilateral incompatibility, and all those which have been studied most intensively, are found in the solanaceae, particularly lycopersicon, solanum, nicotiana and petunia. th ... | 2004 | 15229125 |
| characterization of a new potyvirus infecting pepper crops in ecuador. | sequencing 2,951 nucleotides of the 3' proximal region of the genome of a potyvirus isolate collected from capsicum pubescens (rocoto) pepper in ecuador revealed that this was the first representative of a new species tentatively named ecuadorian rocoto virus (erv). phylogeny reconstruction showed that this isolate clustered with potato virus v (pvv), peru tomato virus and wild potato mosaic virus into a monophyletic group, and was closest to pvv. the isolate was shown to be infectious in tobacc ... | 2008 | 18553171 |
| volatile and capsaicinoid composition of ají (capsicum baccatum) and rocoto (capsicum pubescens), two andean species of chile peppers. | ají (capsicum baccatum l. var. pendulum) and rocoto (capsicum pubescens r. & p.) are two species of chile pepper used for millennia in andean cuisine. the introduction of these relatively unknown capsicum species to new markets requires an understanding of their flavour-related compounds. thus both heat level (scoville method and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (gc/ms)) and, particularly, aroma (headspace solid phase microextraction and gc/ms/olfactometry) were studied in different accessio ... | 2011 | 21445890 |
