Abstract:
Numerous varieties of Capsicum annuum L. with multiple valuable traits, such as adaptation to biotic and abiotic stress factors, can be found in south-east Romania, well known for vegetable cultivation and an important area of biodiversity conservation. To obtain useful information about sustainable agriculture, management, and conservation of local pepper varieties, we analyzed the genetic diversity and conducted deep molecular characterization using whole genome resequencing (WGS) for variant/mutation detection. The pepper varieties used in the present study were registered by VRDS in the ISTIS catalog between 1974 and 2019 and maintained in conservative selection; however, no studies have been published yet using WGS analysis in order to characterize this specific germplasm. The genome sequences, annotation, and alignments provided in this study offer essential resources for genomic research as well as for future breeding efforts using the C. annuum local varieties.
