| ABSTRACT In Brazil, cultivars are registered by National Register of Cultivars (RNC), which besides enabling commercialization of cultivar propagative material, also guarantees the producers genetic purity and identity of propagules. However, it is possible that the information about registration and commercialization of some cultivars is inaccurate. This study aims to analyze the use of microsatellite markers to detect inconsistencies in data of Capsicum spp. cultivars obtained from the official database (CultivarWeb). Seven cultivars were evaluated, three of them were through genetic identity analysis (Amarela Comprida, De Cayenne and Cayenne Long Slin) and the others were used as standard for the species C. annuum, C. frutescens and C. chinense.... |
