Collections in Uganda","pub","s2.4","","","restricted",,,,,,"Thirty-seven local and introduced genotypes of hot pepper (Capsicum annuum) were characterized 
for 20 quantitative and 28 qualitative morphological characters under screen-house conditions. There were highly significant 
differences among genotypes for most quantitative characters (P<0.001) except primary branch numbers (P>0.05). Exotic 
genotypes were superior in most traits compared to local genotypes. Local genotypes were characterized by small fruits, late 
maturity, taller plants with wider canopies compared to introduced genotypes. Local genotypes #31 and #26 were outstanding 
with respect to numbers of fruits per plant (mean 62) and earliness (60 days), respectively. The first and second principal 
components (PCs) for quantitative traits accounted for 41.6% and 13.8% of the total variability, respectively. Fruit length, fruit 
weight and fruit wall thickness largely contributed to PC1. Days to flowering, fruiting, fruit maturity; stem diameter and height; 
plant height and width largely contributed to PC2. Moderate diversity based on qualitative traits (Mean diversity index H` = 0.53) 
was detected among genotypes. Higher diversity indices were observed for stem pubescence type (1.16), leaf pubescence type 
and density (1.02), anther colour (0.94), calyx margin and fruit surface (1.06), and immature fruit colour intensity (1.03). Cluster 
analyses using 20 quantitative and 28 qualitative traits showed diversity among the genotypes at phenotypic level but with some
level of genotypic relatedness and closeness. Based on Euclidean distance in cluster analysis dendrograms, exotic genotypes 
grouped more with local genotypes in qualitative compared with quantitative traits. The diversity among the germplasm in both 
qualitative and quantitative traits revealed by this study can be used for trait improvement through selection and gene 
introgression.
