Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is one of the most widely grown vegetable crops in China, with widespread cultivation worldwide. Fruit weight (size) is a complex trait controlled by multiple factors and is an essential determinant of pepper yield. In this study, we analyzed the transcriptome of two pepper recombinant lines with different fruit weights, 'B302' and 'B400', at five developmental stages to reveal some of the differentially expressed genes and mechanisms controlling fruit weight. The results showed that 21,878 differential genes were identified between the two specimens. Further analys...
