Biodiversity is the entire variety of genes, species and ecosystems, which is the sum total of life on Earth with a rough estimate of about 8.7 million species. The entire biological system is a web of life and is interdependent upon each other. Biological system was sustainable for a long period of time until recently where extinctions are happeni...
Naga King Chilli (Capsicum chinense Jacq.) was previously acknowledged by the Guinness World Records as the world's hottest chili in 2006. This exotic chilli, native to North-Eastern India, was the first product from Nagaland to receive GI tag. Its production is limited and confined to North-Eastern India only. Scientific cultivation on a larger sc...
Naga King Chili is native to North Eastern region of India and was acknowledged as the hottest chili in the world by the Guinness World Records. The occurrence of cross pollination and adaptation to micro-climatic conditions in Naga King Chili has led to genetic diversity within the species. Start Codon Targeted (SCoT) polymorphism was used to stud...
In the present study, phytochemical screening revealed the presence of various Alkaloids, Flavonoids, Tannins, Saponins, Glycosides, Phenol, Amino Acids, Sterols, Terpenoids and absence of Phlobatannins, Quinones and oxalate in H. aromatica. Genetic analysis using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based method namely inter simple sequence repeat (I...
Sequences of the Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2) of nuclear ribosomal DNAs were explored to study the genetic diversity and molecular evolution of Naga King Chili. Our study indicated the occurrence of nucleotide polymorphism and haplotypic diversity in the ITS regions. The present study demonstrated that the variability of ITS1 with r...
