  • The ultra-hot mutation that causes peppers like "ghost" to produce capsaicin from the pericarp instead of the placenta alone allows for breeders to increase the capsaicin to berry ratio by increasing surface area and decreasing berry flesh thickness. This is the key to the development of peppers like the Reaper and others.

    I have been looking for the answer to that and the best answer I have found so far is perhaps.
    I will have more information after a few test crosses.

    I have learned that the mutation is in the case of Naga peppers an allele from Capsicum frutescens that causes increased oil production in the endocarp. Some of the hot thai types have the trait but when the trait is combined with C. chinense genes the result is able to reach a higher SHU and dry weight value than C. frutescens...

    This is incredibly interesting and deserves its own thread

    99% of my notes are made on paper.
    I'm reluctant to discuss this topic.

    It appears that some breeders are putting out misleading information on purpose to prevent certain types of competition.

    Alleles from C. frutescens are frequently being claimed to be from C. annuum or be spontaneous mutations...
    Capsicum sellers logic says that if you are Caucasian and your wife is Caucasian and one of your 5 kids has dark skin then that kid is a spontaneous mutatio...

Happy Birthday, @PaulG! Hope all is well, and you have a fantastic day!
Anyone have any Italian Long Hot Peppers ( red Hots ) Seeds?
If anyone is interested in how easy it is to manipulate US citizens to vote for you,fire up your lawn mower when your grass doesn’t need cut, then listen for the inevitable cacophony of small engines that follow.
Would it be possible to make a snail killing drone to get rid of snails? like a robot lawnmower of so. But flying, with a lasergun or bombs or whatever.
Have a nice trip today!
