The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds, plant parts, and tissue cultures of pepper hybrid SVPB8500, pepper line SBO-E717-0902, and pepper line SBO-E717-0900 and to methods for producing a pepper plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another plant, such as a pepper plant of another genotype. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to plants, seeds, plant parts, and tissue cultures of pepper hybrid pepper hybrid SVPB8500, pepper line SBO-E717-0902, and pepper line SBO-E717-0900 comprising introduced beneficial or desirable traits. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A pepper plant of pepper hybrid SVPB8500, wherein said plant comprises a first set of chromosomes and a second set of chromosomes, wherein said first set of chromosomes is a set of the chromosomes of pepper line SBO-E717-0902 and said second set of chromosomes is a set of the chromosomes of pepper line SBO-E717-0900, a sample of seed of said lines having been deposited under NCMA Accession No. 202006010 and NCMA Accession No. 202006011, respectively. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) A pepper seed that produces the plant of claim 1. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) A plant part of the plant of claim 1, wherein the plant part comprises a cell of said plant. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) A pepper plant having all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of the plant of claim 1. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) A tissue culture of regenerable cells of the plant of claim 1. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) A method of vegetatively propagating the plant of claim 1, the method comprising the steps of: (a) collecting tissue capable of being propagated from the plant of claim 1; and (b) propagating a pepper plant from said tissue. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) A method of producing a pepper plant comprising an added trait, the method comprising introducing a transgene conferring the trait into the plant of claim 1. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) A pepper plant produced by the method of claim 7, wherein said plant comprises the trait and otherwise comprises all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of pepper hybrid SVPB8500. ### Claim 9 A pepper plant of pepper hybrid SVPB8500, wherein said plant comprises a first set of chromosomes and a second set of chromosomes, wherein said first set of chromosomes is a set of the chromosomes of pepper line SBO-E717-0902 and said second set of chromosomes is a set of the chromosomes of pepper line SBO-E717-0900, a sample of seed of said lines having been deposited under NCMA Accession No. 202006010 and NCMA Accession No. 202006011, respectively, further comprising a transgene. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The plant of claim 9, wherein the transgene confers a trait selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, pest resistance, disease resistance, modified fatty acid metabolism, environmental stress tolerance, modified carbohydrate metabolism, and modified protein metabolism. ### Claim 11 A pepper plant of pepper hybrid SVPB8500, wherein said plant comprises a first set of chromosomes and a second set of chromosomes, wherein said first set of chromosomes is a set of the chromosomes of pepper line SBO-E717-0902 and said second set of chromosomes is a set of the chromosomes of pepper line SBO-E717-0900, a sample of seed of said lines having been deposited under NCMA Accession No. 202006010 and NCMA Accession No. 202006011, respectively, further comprising a single locus conversion. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The plant of claim 11, wherein the single locus conversion confers a trait selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, pest resistance, disease resistance, modified fatty acid metabolism, environmental stress tolerance, modified carbohydrate metabolism, and modified protein metabolism. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) A method for producing a seed of a pepper plant derived from pepper hybrid SVPB8500, the method comprising the steps of: (a) crossing the plant of claim 1 with itself or a second pepper plant; and (b) allowing a seed of a hybrid SVPB8500 derived pepper plant to form. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) A method of producing a seed of a pepper hybrid SVPB8500 derived pepper plant, the method comprising the steps of: (a) producing a pepper hybrid SVPB8500 derived pepper plant from a seed produced by crossing the plant of claim 1 with itself or a different pepper plant; and (b) crossing the pepper hybrid SVPB8500 derived pepper plant with itself or a different pepper plant to obtain a seed of a further pepper hybrid SVPB8500 derived pepper plant. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The method of claim 14, the method further comprising repeating said producing and crossing steps of (a) and (b) using the seed from said step (b) for producing the plant according to step (a) for at least one generation to produce a seed of an additional pepper hybrid SVPB8500 derived pepper plant. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) A method of producing a pepper fruit, the method comprising: (a) obtaining the plant of claim 1, wherein the plant has been cultivated to maturity; and (b) collecting a pepper fruit from the plant.
