      abstract = {The success and sustainability of chili pepper breeding  depends upon diversity in genetic diversity resources. The  genetic diversity can be increased through the introduction  of material from other countries. The present study aimed  to measure the contribution of introduced lines to enrich  diversity of IVEGRI’s breeding program based on  morphological characterization. The experiment was carried  out at IVEGRI research station from July to December 2020,  and arranged with two replications in a randomized block  design. The treatments involved 60 genetic materials, 30 of  which were derived from Indonesia and other 30 lines were  introduced from World Vegetable Center. Morphological  traits were measured following the guidelines for testing  the distinctness, uniformity, and stability from Indonesian  Plant Variety Protection Center, Ministry of Agriculture.  Genetic diversity analysis was conducted using the  Euclidean dissimilarity coefficient. The results showed an  increase of 88.2% in genetic distance after introduction.  The unique morphological characters, such as shortened  internodes, hairiness of nodes, leaf shapes, secondary  color of corolla, fruit color before maturity, fruit color  at maturity, and fruit attitude, were observed from the  introduced chili pepper lines reflecting that those could  be beneficial for future improvement of chili pepper  breeding program.},
