Abstract

The sale of ornamental pepper is an important source of income to agricultural populations. Their use for decoration and for consumption adds value to this product, increasing the financial return to the producer. Peppers’ fruits are considered to be a good source of various nutritional compounds, including carotenoids, flavonoids, and essential mineral elements. Pepper plants can also be used as an alternative in spice gardens, gardens of medicinal plants, and aromatic gardens. Development of a new variety with high-quality traits is one of the major goals of any breeding program, and the presence of genetic diversity is the principal criteria for success of selection and progress in a breeding program. Breeding method choice is based on factors such as reproductive systems, genetic inheritance of a desired trait, program targets, and base population variability. In addition, recent advances in the in vitro culture of peppers, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, induced mutation, and grafting arise to help the breeders’ work. Those aspects and the contribution to the induction of androgenic haploid embryos, as well as embryo rescue and their utilization in the shortening of ornamental pepper breeding program, will be explored in this chapter. In this brief overview, we congregated information on results obtained from different research groups that work with Capsicum.
