Another focus in my lab during the last few years has been the genomics and functional genomics of pepper, which is another globally important vegetable species. We aim to address the molecular genetic basis of important traits in pepper, by integrating multiple “omics”, linkage analysis and genome wide association analysis. Markers and genes characterized in those efforts will be used in genetic improvement of pepper.
Our constant effort is to improve the efficiency of breeding using various technologies
