Abstract：To explore the difference in the comprehensive quality of different pepper resources,20 varieties were used as experimental materials to investigate genetic diversity of agronomic and quality traits with genetic diversity analysis,cor-relation analysis,principal component and cluster analysis.The results showed that there were rich genetic diversities.Co-efficient of variation of quantitative traits ranged from 11.63％to 63.15％.There were significant correlations between ag-ronomic traits and quality traits.The principal component analysis showed that 14 traits were integrated into 5 principal components making 84.488％cumulative contribution to the total variance.Cluster analysis divided the tested varieties in-to 3 types.Based on the dietary habits of the general public in Guizhou,the first type can be used for processing ferment-ed pepper,oil pepper,and burnt pepper noodles.The second type can be used for fresh and processed fermented pepper,oil pepper,and burnt pepper noodles.The third type can be used for spicy seasoning.This research provided a foundation for the exploration and utilization of pepper resources and breeding of superior varieties.
