**7.4. Disease resistance**

Using NGS technology, single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) were identified in resistant and susceptible pepper population for potato virus Y and pepper mottle virus. The comparative genomic tools were used to align the SNVs with syntenic region/loci of tomato. Later, the SNVs were converted into PCR-based CAPS (cleaved amplified polymorphic site) marker to map *potyvirus resistance 4* (*pvr4*) locus. These molecular markers could be used in large-scale marker assisted selection (MAS) programs [74].
