Capsicum has various colors, and played a role of model plant in heredity of fruit color in previous studies 11. [...]the research on fruit color and corresponding molecular mechanism of capsicum is of great significance to the genetic breeding of capsicum and the molecular regulation of fruit color of capsicum. Currently, there are more studies on red and green characters, but few studies have been conducted on white character of capsicum. [...]it is urgent to study the white character of capsicum, so as to understand the genetic law of the white character, which could provide powerful reference for capsicum breeding for quality. [...]this type of markers have more disadvantages such as tedious operation and higher cost, so the application in practical breeding is very difficult. [...]the development of other more convenient markers such as SSR and InDel has high value, and is of great significance. [...]electrophoresis was performed under voltage at 150 V and current at 350 mA for 100 min.
