Resumo: | ABSTRACT The Capsicum genus is widely studied in many countries but most of research focuses on C. annuum. Although its importance as potential genetic resource for breeding to disease resistance and fruit quality, studies on genetics and breeding in C. baccatum var. pendulum are still scarce and it still remains as an underexploited crop. This paper aimed to study the inheritance of agronomic characteristics, to estimate the genetic parameters for seven agronomic traits in C. baccatum var. pendulum, using generation mean analysis and to verify the existence of major genes and polygenes with additive and non-additive effects, using the method of maximum likelihood with the aid of Monogen software. The agronomic traits evaluated were: number of fruits per plant (NFP); average fruit mass per plant (AFM); fruit length (FRL); fruit diameter (FRD); fruit pulp thickness (FPT); soluble solids content (SSC) and fruit dry mass (FDM). There was a significant difference among generations (P1, P2, F1, F2, BC1 and BC2) for all traits evaluated. Narrow sense heritability estimates ranged from 45% for NFP to 75% for FRD. By estimating the average degree of dominance (ADD), we found that partial dominance is the gene action involved in the genetic control for FRL and FRD, while additive effect was observed for NFP, FPT and SSC, complete dominance for FDM and overdominance for AFM. The additive-dominant model was sufficient to explain the results obtained for all evaluated traits. Maximum likelihood method identified the existence of polygenes with additive and dominance effects in SSC, FPT and FDM. Major gene effect was identified for FRL and NFP characteristics. The results indicated the complexity of the inheritance of these traits with the presence of major gene involved.
