In most of the Indian diets, chilli is mainly consumed as a spice in form of dried powder or fresh green fruits. In addition to high nutritive values, chilli also has medicinal properties. Biochemical and molecular markers can be effective means to determine varietal identification among different genotypes/varieties. Isozyme electrophoresis; SDS-PAGE and RAPD offer potentially simple, rapid and reliable techniques for varietal identification of chilli. Isoelectric focusing, a newly traditional techniques can also...
