Capsicum, more commonly as chili or chili pepper, is an important
global vegetable and spice crop. Anthracnose disease, caused by a
complex of Colletotrichum species, is the major biotic stress
limiting chili production in tropical and subtropical countries.
Anthracnose disease mainly manifests itself as a post-harvest
disease, resulting in large necrotic lesions on the fruit. This
disease is mainly controlled by the application of a "cocktail" of
fungicides as commercial resistant cultivars are not available. In
recent years, insights into the complexity of the pathogen and the
genomics of the host have been accomplished using cutting-edge
molecular technologies. The author has been at the forefront of
this technology revolution in Capsicum breeding through her
research to understand the host and pathogen which has led to the
development of new anthracnose resistant genotypes. Capsicum:
Breeding Strategies for Anthracnose Resistance is structured based
on a review of the origin and evolution of Capsicum, Capsicum
genetic diversity and germplasm resources, the latest research in
the biology and taxonomy of Colletotrichum pathogens of Capsicum,
and the classic and molecular breeding for resistance in Capsicum
to the suite of Colletotrichum pathogens that infect Capsicum
globally. This book brings together knowledge on both the pathogen
and the host, which is often overlooked when reviewing the breeding
and genetics of a crop plant. It informs the facts behind breeding
for resistance from both the host and pathogen perspectives.
