Neighbor joining (NJ) phylogenetic tree for the NMSU (‘NuMex’) chile pepper cultivars based on genome wide SNP markers. Cultivars were divided into two major clusters (I and II) according to species. The C. annuum (Cluster I) was separated into seven subgroups (a-g) based on pod (fruit) types: a chile piquin; b ornamental chile peppers; c jalapeno; d serrano; e cayenne; f de arbol; and g New Mexican (includes the paprika type). C. frutescens and C. chinense formed Cluster II that comprised of the tabasco and the habanero types, respectively. Note that the official names for the NMSU chile pepper cultivars include the designation ‘NuMex’ before the actual name, e.g. ‘Numex Nobasco’. For convenience, the name was omitted in the NJ tree presented herein
