ABSTRACT

Figure 3-1 A genetic map of pepper based on the COSII markers. The pepper linkage groups are designated P1-P12 based on the synteny with tomato chromosomes and are based on the chromosome names from the trisomic analysis of Pochard (1977). Each tomato chromosome is assigned with one color according to the color code below P2 and the corresponding pepper chromosomes are shown with the same color. ~TN following pepper markers indicates their corresponding tomato chromosomes. The putative centromeric regions are indicated by the white dot. More details on this map can be found in Wu et al. (2009). [Reprinted from Wu et al. (2009) by permission.]

Figure 3-2 A model describing the translocation between the cultivated C. annuum and the wild C. annuum and the related Capsicum species C. chinense and C. frutescens. [Reprinted from Wu et al. (2009) by permission.]

Figure 3-3 A comparative map of pepper and tomato. The chromosome colors are coded as in Fig. 1. The orthologous markers are connected by lines. More details on this map can be found in Wu et al. (2009). [Reprinted from Wu et al. (2009) by permission.]
