중국은 일찍 농업에 편중하는 식생산전통과 백성들이 어렵게 생계를 유지하는 식생활상태가 형성되었으며 이런 상황은 중국인들이 신랄(辛辣)한 맛에 대한 기호를 결정하였던 것이다. 중국인들이 신랄(辛辣)한 맛을 즐긴 역사는 선사시대까지 거슬러 올라간다. “랄(辣)”자(字)는 “신랄(辛辣)”이라는 단어에서 분리하여 특별히 매운 맛을 의미하는데 즉 일반적인 “신(辛)” 보다 더욱 “신(辛)”하다는 뜻이며 이 문자는 한(漢)나라 이후에야 나타난다. 고추는 명(明)나라 중엽에 해상을 통해 중국대륙에 전해 들어왔고 짧은 기간 내에 중국인들이 제일 보편적으로 식용하고 좋아하는 매운 음식으로 자리 잡았다. 중국에서 고추는 번초(蕃椒), 해초(海椒), 랄각(辣角), 랄호(辣虎), 랄자(辣子) 등 다양한 명칭을 갖고 있는데 이는 그 분포의 지리적 특징과 인문적인 특징을 반영한 것이다. 고추에 대해 최초로 기록한 한문문헌으로는 1591년에 출간된 ${\ulcorner}$존생팔전(尊生八箋)${\lrcorner}$이다. 본 논문에서는 상기 문헌의 고추에 관한 기록에 대한 종래 연구자들의 보편적인 견해와는 다른 새로운 관점을 제기하였다. 고추는 짧은 시간 내에 화초(花椒) 등 허다한 전통적인 매운 양념들을 재치고 결국 중국인들의 고추정서가 형성된 것은 “그 맛이 최고로 매웠던 것(기미최랄(其味最辣))” 및 적응성이 강하고 재배 할 때 소요되는 인력물력도 적게 드는 것과 중국인들이 보편적으로 매운 맛을 즐겼던 정서가 결합된 필연적인 결과라고 하겠다. 관습은 쉽게 개변하지 않고 오래 접하면 자연히 은이 생기며 강한 자극을 통쾌하다고 여기는 인간의 통성(通性)은 매운 맛에 대한 오랜 접촉으로 습관을 형성시키고 세월이 흘러도 고추를 먹는 습관만은 남게 되는 중요한 원인이다. 고추가 중국 대륙에서 불균형하게 보급되어 있는 상황에서 경제생활이 상대적으로 빈곤한 지역일수록 매운 맛에 대한 기호가 보다 강함을 알 수 있다.

A linkage map of Capsicum annuum L. was constructed by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers followed in a backcross population of an intraspecific cross between cultivars HDA210 and Yatsufusa. A total of 420 random primers were tested and 311 polymorphic bands were generated by 158 random primers. Among them, 86 Yatsufusa specific bands generated by 52 primers were examined for mapping. Most bands except three segregated in Mendelian fashion fitting the expected 1:1 ratio. The total length of the map was 533 cM distributed in 15 linkage groups. The map distance between adjacent markers ranged 0 to 32.8 cM, with an average distance of 9.1 cM (63 markers). Some markers were clustered and this may be due to the amplification of a repetitive sequence by the RAPDs. Primer pairs for a sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) were developed and the segregation scores by the SCAR primers were in accordance with the RAPD data. Two QTL markers for number of axillary shoots and for early flowering were developed. One QTL for early flowering located in the linkage group 3 and explained 61 "io of the phenotypic variation. The other QTL for the number of axillary shoots located in the linkage group 4 explained 55 % of the phenotypic variation.tion.

인공산성비의 pH가 낮아질수록 고추씨의 발아에 걸리는 시간은 단축되었으며 발아율은 향상되었으나 어린 싹에게는 매우 치명적인 영향을 미쳤다. 어린 고추모는 이미 자란 식물체에 비하여 산성비에 훨신 더 민감하게 작용하였다. 산성비의 전형적인 가시피해증상은 잎에 나타나는 흰색 반점이었으며, 빗물의 pH가 낮을수록 더 빨리 더 심하게 나타났다. 고추의 역병은 일반적으로 인공산성비 처리구에서 대조구보다 빨리 발병하였으나, 인공산성비의 pH가 아주 낮을 때는 다른 처리구에 비하여 오히려 병의 발생이 줄어들었다. 인공산성비 처리중에 역병을 접종하였을 때는 처리 전에 접종하였을 때보다 병이 더 빨리, 더 심하게 나타났다. 역병의 발생이 가장 심했던 것은 역병의 접종시기와는 관계없이 pH 4.0 또는 4.5인 빗물을 처리하였을 때였다.

Induction of systemic acquired resistance (SAR) against phytophthora blight and pathogenesis-related (PR) protein accumulation by TMV infection in pepper plant (Capsicum annuum cv. Nockwang) were examined to understand the mechanism of the systemic acquired resistance in pepper plant. The zoospore suspension of Phytophthora capsici was inoculated on stem of pepper plant in which TMV-pepper strain had been inoculated on fully expanded upper leaves, and thephytopha blight incidence was examined. Both disease severity and lesion length of phytophthora blight were much smaller in TMV pre-inoculated pepper plant than in uninoculated control plants. The phytophthora blight incidence was decreased about 50% in the TMV pre-inoculated pepper, compared to the uninoculated control plant at 10 days after P. capsici inoculation. Accumulation of PR1 and PR5 proteins in intercellular fluid of TMV-inoculated and uninoculated upper leaves were monitored by immuno-blot with tobacco P1b and PR5a, antibody during induction of SAR. PR1 and PR5 were detected from 24 hours after TMV inoculation in both TMV-inoculated and uninouclated upper leaves, and increased rapidly in TMV-inoculation in uninoculated upper leaves were defoliated. PR5 could be detected upto 20 days after TMV inoculation in uninoculated upper leaves. These results suggest that TMV infection induces SAR against phytophthora blight in pepper plant, and that PR proteins are accumulated very rapidly during induction of SAR and maintained for quite long time in pepper plant.

Pepper fruit anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum species is an economically important disease that causes serious yield loss and quality deterioration in many Asian countries including South Korea and Taiwan. Recently, Capsicum baccatum PI594137 was found to exhibit broad-spectrum resistance to Colletotrichum acutatum. The inheritance of anthracnose resistance to C. acutatum was analyzed in an intraspecific population derived from a cross between C. baccatum Golden-aji and PI594137. Detached mature green fruits were inoculated using the microinjection method. The disease response was evaluated as the disease incidence and the overall lesion diameter at 7 days after inoculation(DAI). The segregation ratios of resistance and susceptibility to C. acutatum in the $F_2$ and $BC_s$ populations significantly fit a 3:1 Mendelian model. This result indicates that the resistance of PI594137 to C. acutatum is controlled by a single dominant gene.

As one way to approach to cold defense mechanism in plants, we previously identified the gene for protein-tyrosine phosphatase (CaTPP1) from hot pepper (Capsicum annuum) using cDNA microarray analysis coupled with Northern blot analysis. We showed that the CaTPP1 gene was strongly induced by cold, drought, salt and ABA stresses. The CaTPP1 gene was engineered under control of CaMV 35S promoter for constitutive expression in transgenic tobacco plants by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. The resulting CaTPP1 transgenic tobacco plants showed significantly increased cold stress resistance. It also appeared that some of the transgenic tobacco plants showed increased drought tolerance. The CaTPP1 transgenic plants showed no visible phenotypic alteration compared to wild type plants. These results showed the involvement of protein tyrosine phosphatase in tolerance of abiotic stresses including cold and drought stress.

Isolation and culture of leaf protoplasts from two chilli cultivars (Capsicum annuum var. accumnatum and Bird chilli) were developed to enhance selection process in the somatic hybridization programmes. In order to isolate the protoplasts from leaves of these two chilli cultivars different incubation periods (3, 5 and 10 hours) were tested with combinations of enzyme mixtures containing cellulase and macerozyme. Leaves were incubated on three enzyme mixtures (2% cellulase +0.4% macerozyme, 1% cellulase +0.2% macerozyme and 0.5% cellulase +0.1% macerozyme in 13% mannitol) at 251oC in the dark. Three hours of incubation using 2% cellulase and 0.4% macerozyme was the best for the protoplast isolation of both chilli cultivars tested. The yield was 5${\times}$108protoplasts/m1/g leaf tissue in both chilli varieties. It was found that in the mixed nurse method using Nagata and Takebe (NT) medium supplemented with 1.0mg/12,4-D, NAA and BAP with 0.5M mannitol and 1.2% Sea Plaque agarose is the best medium for protoplast culture. Protoplasts of Capsicum annum var. accumnatum were alive for 14 days forming cell walls and initiating cell division.

Long terminal repeat retrotransposons (LTR-Rs) are major elements creating new genome structure for expansion of plant genomes. However, in addition to the genome expansion, the role of LTR-Rs has been unexplored. In this study, we constructed new reference genome sequences of two pepper species (Capsicum baccatum and C. chinense), and updated the reference genome of C. annuum. We focused on the study for speciation of Capsicum spp. and its driving forces. We found that chromosomal translocation, unequal amplification of LTR-Rs, and recent gene duplications in the pepper genomes as major evolutionary forces for diversification of Capsicum spp. Specifically, our analyses revealed that the nucleotide-binding and leucine-rich-repeat proteins (NLRs) were massively created by LTR-R-driven retroduplication. These retoduplicated NLRs were abundant in higher plants, and most of them were lineage-specific. The retroduplication was a main process for creation of functional disease-resistance genes in Solanaceae plants. In addition, 4-10% of whole genes including highly amplified families such as MADS-box and cytochrome P450 emerged by the retroduplication in the plants. Our study provides new insight into creation of disease-resistance genes and high-copy number gene families by retroduplication in plants.

In this study, two pepper varieties, PRH1 (powdery mildew resistance line) and Saengryeg (powdery mildew resistance line), were resequenced using next generation sequencing technology in order to develop InDel markers. The genome-wide discovery of InDel variation was performed by comparing the whole-genome resequencing data of two pepper varieties to the Capsicum annuum cv. CM334 reference genome. A total of 334,236 and 318,256 InDels were identified in PRH1 and Saengryeg, respectively. The greatest number of homozygous InDels were discovered on chromosome 1 in PRH1 (24,954) and on chromosome 10 (29,552) in Saengryeg. Among these homozygous InDels, 19,094 and 4,885 InDels were distributed in the genic regions of PRH1 and Saengryeg, respectively, and 198,570 and 183,468 InDels were distributed in the intergenic regions. We have identified 197,821 polymorphic InDels between PRH1 and Saengryeg. A total of 11,697 primers sets were generated, resulting in the discovery of four polymorphic InDel markers. These new markers will be utilized in order to identify disease resistance genotypes in breeding populations. Therefore, our results will make a one-step advancement in whole genome resequencing and add genetic resource datasets in pepper breeding research.
