Abstract
The hot pepper or chilli (Capsicl/III allIlUl/1II L.) is an important cash crop of irrigated arid areas. Its production has drastically declined during last one decade due to leaf curl disease. Five cultivars viz., Punjab Red, HC-28, HC-44, CH-I and New Chilli Hybrid, were screened for their disease reactions with a popular local cultivar Mandoria in arid areas of western Rajasthan. [n the disease free resistant cultivars (HC-28 and HC-44), activities of polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase enzymes were lower and the free proline content was 2-6 times higher than that diseased cultivars.Downloads
