Exploring Genomic Regions Associated with Fruit Traits in Pepper: Insights from Multiple GWAS Models.

ABSTRACT: This study utilized 303 pepper accessions from diverse Capsicum species to explore fruit traits, including length, width, wall thickness, and weight. Descriptive statistics revealed a mean fruit length of 66.19 mm, width of 23.48 mm, wall thickness of 1.89 mm, and weight of 15.29 g, with significant variability, particularly in fruit weight. Correlation analysis demonstrated strong positive relationships between fruit width, weight, and fruit wall thickness (r = 0.89 and r = 0.86, respectively), while fruit length showed weaker correlations with these traits. Analysis of fruit positions revealed that the majority of accessions had a pendent fruit position (156), followed by erect (85) and intermediate (8). In terms of fruit shape, triangular and narrow triangular shapes were the mos
