Abstract：363 pepper（Capsicum spp. ）local varieties from 31 provinces and cities in China were
selected as experimental material， and identification with artificial inoculation was conducted for their resistance
to CMV. The result showed that 2 collections were resistant to CMV， 124 were moderately resistant， and 237 were
susceptible. At the same time， correlation analysis on disease resistance and other 2 agronomic traits（ florescence，
plant height）of these 363 pepper germplasm resources were carried out. The result indicated that florescence
and CMV resistance had a significantly positive correlation， and plant height and CMV， resistance had a very
significantly negative correlation. Among the accessions with stronger resistance to CMV， the horn pepper，conic
pepper， var. acuminaturn Fingern and var. dactylus took a large proportion. The disease resistance of accessions
from Central China and East China regions had higher ratio than those from other regions.
