The value of the hot pepper species is given by its food and therapeutic role, due to the complexity and diversity of biochemical constituents. Worldwide, the species enjoys increasing attention and is the subject of numerous physico-chemical, agrobiological and pharmacological research. The study presents the results obtained through the investigations carried out on a collection of hot peppers under the ADER 2020 project "Regeneration, multiplication and characterization of traditional plant resources". Our investigations have assumed phenological observations, biometric measurements and physiological determinations, in order to evaluate valuable germplasm resources to be introduced into amelioration programs.
