The genus Capsicum ( sweet and hot pepper) is an incredible intra and inter-specific diversity in fruit type, color, shape, taste and biochemical content. Molecular biology techniques based on DNA analysis are being adopted in the modern study of plant breeding. The aim of this study was to assess the applicability of SSR techniques in transferability assessment and diversity of placental length and type in genus Capsicum . This study analyzed 19 accessions of Capsicum species obtained from different locations in 11 states in Nigeria, 1 accession from Niger and 2 accessions from Rwanda making a total of 22 accessions analyzed. A SSR marker MK190 from Capsicum chinense was used in the analysis. The marker showed polymorphism within the accession which was observed to be 100% and Polymorphic information content (PIC) value for the marker MK190 was 0.5. The genetic relationship is observed based on the dendrogram obtained from the molecular data which grouped the accessions into 3 clusters. Accessions grouped into the same cluster group shows similarities. Extensive seed collection, evaluation and genetic characterization of Capsicum species distributed in Nigeria will contribute for its conservation strategy and genetic improvement. Studies on morphological diversity using phenotypic characters and molecular markers can be used to assess genetic relationships among the different populations of Capsicum species.
