Transcriptomic analysis of a wild and a cultivated varieties of Capsicum annuum over fruit development and ripening.

Chili pepper (Capsicum annuum) is one of the most important crops worldwide. Its fruits contain metabolites produced over the maturation process like capsaicinoids and carotenoids. This metabolic process produces internal changes in flavor, color, texture, and aroma in fruits to make them more attra...
