Male sterility is of high importance in hybrid seed production of hot and sweet peppers. Genic (or nuclear) male sterility (GMS) is a simply inherited (usually monogenic recessive) and highly stable trait. However, one major disadvantage of using GMS is 1:1 segregation of male sterile to male fertile plants in every subsequent generation. Molecular markers tightly linked to genic male sterility ( ms ) genes would facilitate an efficient and rapid transfer of  ms  genes into different genetic backgrounds through marker-assisted backcrossing. The two non-allelic genic male sterility genes  ms3  and  ms  w  in hot and sweet pepper backgrounds, respectively, are monogenic recessive. Genotyping by sequencing (GBS) in an F 2  population segregating for  ms3  gene in hot pepper and in an F 6  inbred near-isogenic line (NIL) population segregating for  ms  w  gene in sweet pepper yielded 9,713 and 7,453 single nucleotide polymorphism markers, respectively. Four candidate SNPs co-segregating with  ms3  gene and one co-segregating with  ms  w  gene were identified by bulk segregant analysis and physically mapped to chromosomes 1 and 5, respectively. In hot pepper, two markers [HPGMS2 (CAPS) and HPGMS3 (dCAPS)] located 3.83 cM away from the  ms3  gene and in sweet pepper the dCAPS marker SPGMS1 co-segregated (completely linked) with the  ms  w  gene were developed. These markers will increase the efficacy of the male sterility genes for pepper breeding, as they can be useful in developing the genic male sterile lines in parental inbred lines of commercial hybrids through marker-assisted backcrossing, hybrid seed production, and genetic purity testing of hybrid seeds.
