Method for Transferring One or More Genetic Traits from a Plant of the Purple-Flowered Capsicum Species to a Plant of the White Flowered Capsicum Species

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for transferring one or more genetic traits from a plant of the 5 purple-flowered Capsicum species comprising said genetic trait, to a plant of the white-flowered Capsicum species, said method comprising the steps: (a) preparing a first hybrid plant comprising said genetic trait by crossing a first plant of the purple-10 flowered Capsicum species comprising said genetic traits with a second plant of another purple-flowered Capsicum species, and selecting plants comprising said genetic trait; (b) preparing a second hybrid plant by crossing said first hybrid plant comprising said genetic trait, with a 15 first plant of the white-flowered Capsicum species; (c) crossing said second hybrid plant with said first plant of the purple-flowered Capsicum species comprising said genetic trait, and selecting from the progeny thereof plants comprising the genetic trait; 20 (d) preparing a third hybrid plant by crossing the plants obtained step c) with a second plant of the white-flowered Capsicum species, and selecting from the progeny thereof plants comprising the genetic trait. The invention further relates to the plants per se, as well as to the 25 fruits, seeds and other plant parts derived from said plants.
