摘要: Chile peppers (Capsicum sp.) are one of the most important spices in world and a significant vegetable, providing substantial amounts vitamins A C. also used as medicinal lachrymator plant because characteristic burning sensation they cause when consumed by mammals. This is caused capsaicinoids that alkaloids produced vesicles inside fruit. novel class chile known ''super-hots'' having greater than 1 million Scoville heat units have generated much interest. We compared morphological structure fruit pericarp placental tissue ''super-hot'' to those jalapeno bell pepper. Most including jalapenos, only produce secreting found on placenta.Wereportonthenoveldiscoverythatthese''super-hot''chilepeppershavedevelopedaccessorialvesicleson thepericarptissueinadditiontothevesiclesontheplacentaltissue,thusleadingtoexceedinglyhighScovilleheatunits for these plants.
