Genetic improvement and its effect on the genetic diversity of the habanero pepper chillie (Capsicum chinense Jacq) in the Yucatan Peninsula

Objective. To determine improvement genetic impact on maintenace and conservation of genetic diversity of chillie habanero pepper. Metodolgy. Scientific articles, books, journalistic notes, and technical brochures on issues related to breeding and diversity were reviewed. In addition, historical reviews were considered, as well as interviews with the main chile plant producers of the Yucatan peninsula. The information obtained was analyzed, classified, exposed and discussed. Results. The genetic diversity of the habanero pepper chilli  is being affected by the introduction and planting of hybrids and varieties, limiting landraces use and Origin. Denomination  Study limitations. Lack of research on the subject. Conclusions. Regional genetic improvement is requiered for genetic diversity conservation.
