Abstract Chilli peppers ( Capsicum spp.) belong to very popular and significant horticultural crops, evaluated for their culinary, nutritional, and pharmacological properties. Knowledge about their genetic diversity is important because of their breeding strategies. In this study, restriction profiles of ITS sequences of three different chilli species were analysed for their differences together with ISSR fingerprint profile. A total of eleven genotypes of native chilli peppers from Peru were used in this study. Three different restriction patterns were obtained. Individual species, Capsicum chinesis Jacq, Capsicum frutescens and Capsicum baccatum were distinguished by UPGMA analysis.
Žiarovská et al. (Fri,) studied this question.
