Comparison of wild and domesticated hot peppers fruit: volatile emissions, pungency and protein profiles
Capsicum plant species are globally cultivated in warm and temperate regions, being important for agro-economic, biological and cultural aspects. While their worldwide spread and their ability of cross-pollination to easily hybridize play an important role in the formation of numerous species and v...

Capsicum plant species are globally cultivated in warm and temperate regions, being important for agro-economic, biological and cultural aspects.
