• 25S–18S rDNA IGS of Capsicum: molecular structure and comparison 

      Grabiele, Mauro; Debat, Humberto Julio; Moscone, Eduardo Alberto; Ducasse, Daniel Adrian (Springer, 2012-02)
      The primary and secondary structures of the intergenic spacer (IGS) between the 3′-end of 25S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene and the 5′-end of 18S rRNA gene are described for the cultivated chili pepper Capsicum pubescens. The ...
    • A reference chromosomal map of the hot chili pepper Capsicum pubescens cv. “locoto” (Solanaceae) 

      Aguilera, Patricia Mabel; Debat, Humberto Julio; Seijo, José Guillermo; Grabiele, Mauro (Instituto de Pesquisas Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro, 2021)
      Capsicum pubescens is a cultivated hot chili pepper, consumed in Latin American cuisine as a distinctive ingredient, and popularly known as “locoto” or “rocoto”. This taxon is also an outstanding source of resistance to ...
    • FISH-mapping of the 5S rDNA locus in chili peppers (Capsicum-Solanaceae) 

      Aguilera, Patricia Mabel; Debat, Humberto Julio; Scaldaferro, Marisel Analia; Marti, Dardo Andrea; Grabiele, Mauro (2016)
      We present here the physical mapping of the 5S rDNA locus in six wild and fi ve cultivated taxa of Capsicum by means of a genus-specifi c FISH probe. In all taxa, a single 5S locus per haploid genome that persistently mapped ...
    • Highly GC-rich heterochromatin in chili peppers (Capsicum-Solanaceae): A cytogenetic and molecular characterization 

      Grabiele, Mauro; Debat, Humberto Julio; Scaldaferro, Marisel Analía; Aguilera, Patricia Mabel; Moscone, Eduardo Alberto; Seijo, José Guillermo; Ducasse, Daniel Adrian (Elsevier, 2018-08)
      Capsicum comprises 35 species of chili peppers and five of them are cultivated worldwide as spices or vegetables. Diploid karyotypes based in x = 12 and x = 13 are common in Capsicum and the constitutive heterochromatin ...
