Abstract

Genes homologous to PSY1 and PSY2 that encode phytoene synthase isoforms in Capsicum species C. baccatum, C. chinense, C. frutescens, C. tovarii, C. eximium, and C. chacoense were identified. High conservatism of functionally significant sites of phytoene synthases of the analyzed accessions was revealed. It was found that only PSY1-based clustering of pepper species corresponds to the traditional Capsicum phylogeny; C. eximium was a part of the Purple corolla complex, and C. chacoense was equidistant from Annuum and Baccatum clades. The absence of significant differences between PSY1 and PSY2 of yellow-fruited C. chinense and red-fruited pepper accessions was shown. The yellow color of C. chinense fruit may be the result of both decreased PSY1 expression and increased PSY2 transcription. Thus, it was demonstrated that the acquired fruit pigmentation retains strict phylogenetic limitations, which, however, can be overcome using artificial selection for the activity of phytoene synthase PSY1.
