Mutation breeding for anthracnose resiatance caused by Colletotrichum capsici in chili

In Thailand, there are three major species of Colletotrichum spp. which caused anthracnose disease to chili product; Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, C. capsici and C. acutatum. In 2015, the researchers from Thailand Institute of Nuclear Technology reported a first success of radiation-induced mutation breeding for anthracnose resistance which caused by C. gloeosporioides in Sukhothai.
