Capsicum species commonly known as Chili peppers are economically important group of plants belonging to the Solanaceae family. Of the 38 species reported, only six species namely, Capsicum annuum, C. assamicum, C. baccatum, C. frutescence, C. chinense and C. pubescens are cultivated. They are very important component of the human being as peppers are used as vegetables, spices, and a coloring agent and for medicinal purposes. Based on pungency trait which is due to the presence of a group of compounds known as capsaicinoids, cultivated capsicums are classified into sweet peppers and hot peppers. Although conventional breeding and classical genetic analysis were successful in estimating the number of genes for economically important traits governed by few major genes and their incorporation in the breeding programme, the advent of molecular markers and recently developed next generation sequencing technologies supplemented greatly in dissecting the genetic and molecular basis of economically important traits in the capsicum genome for applied research. Here in this review, we tried to highlight the use of molecular markers, comparative mapping and advanced genomics technologies and their integrated use in the translational research of cultivated Capsicums.
