Tissue Culture of Capsicum spp.

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Plant tissue culture comprises a set of in vitro techniques, methods, and strategies that are part of plant biotechnology. In this chapter, we discuss some difficulties and recent advances in the in vitro culture of peppers, aiming at the breeding of cultured species belonging to the genus. It also reports our experience and contribution to the induction of androgenic haploid embryos, sensitivity and resistance to ethylene, flowering, fruiting and seed production in vitro, as well as embryo rescue and their utilization in the breeding program of ornamental pepper from Brazil.
