Abstract
The present invention relates to new, distinct and stable Capsicum annuum plants that have an ornamental phenotype and produce fruit that is non-pungent.
Claims22
A Capsicum annuum plant having a height of less than about 29.0 cm and which produces fruit having a capsaicin level not greater than 500 Scoville Units, wherein said fruit is upright, has a fruit weight of less than about 5 grams per fruit and further wherein said fruit, when immature, is a color other than green.
A method of producing Capsicum annuum seed, the method comprising the step of:
- crossing a first Capsicum annuum plant with a second Capsicum annuum plant and harvesting the resultant Capsicum annuum seed, wherein said first or second Capsicum annuum plant is a Capsicum annuum plant having a height of less than about 29.0 cm and which produces fruit having a capsaicin level not greater than 500 Scoville Units, wherein said fruit is upright, has a fruit weight of less than about 5 grams per fruit and further wherein said fruit, when immature, is a color other than green, or a part thereof or a descendant of a Capsicum annuum plant having a height of less than about 29.0 cm and which produces fruit having a capsaicin level not greater than 500 Scoville Units, wherein said fruit is upright, has a fruit weight of less than about 5 grams per fruit and further wherein said fruit, when immature, is a color other than green, or a part thereof.
A method of producing a Capsicum annuum plant in a pepper breeding program, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) obtaining a Capsicum annuum plant having a height of less than about 29.0 cm and which produces fruit having a capsaicin level not greater than 500 Scoville Units, wherein said fruit is upright, has a fruit weight of less than about 5 grams per fruit and further wherein said fruit, when immature, is a color other than green, or a part thereof or a descendant of a Capsicum annuum plant having a height of less than about 29.0 cm and which produces fruit having a capsaicin level not greater than 500 Scoville Units, wherein said fruit is upright, has a fruit weight of less than about 5 grams per fruit and further wherein said fruit, when immature, is a color other than green, or a part thereof as a source of breeding material;
- and
- b) employing the Capsicum annuum plant obtained in step a) as a source of plant breeding material in a plant breeding program using plant breeding techniques to produce a Capsicum annuum plant.
A method of producing Capsicum annuum seed, the method comprising the step of:
- crossing a first Capsicum annuum plant with a second Capsicum annuum plant and harvesting the resultant Capsicum annuum seed, wherein said first or second Capsicum annuum plant is a Capsicum annuum plant or a part thereof grown from (1) seed designated as 96P610, a representative sample of which is deposited under ATCC Accession Number 203779 or a descendant of the Capsicum annuum plant or a part thereof grown from seed designated as 96P610, a representative sample of which is deposited under ATCC Accession Number 203779;
- (2) seed designated as 96P611, a representative sample of which is deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-5689 or a descendant of the Capsicum annuum plant or a part thereof grown from seed designated as 96P611, a representative sample of which is deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-5689;
- (3) seed designated as 97P1938, a representative sample of which is deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-5749 or a descendant of the Capsicum annuum plant or a part thereof grown from seed designated as 97P1938, a representative sample of which is deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-5749;
- or (4) seed designated as PA47, a representative sample of which is deposited under ATCC Accession Number______or a descendant of the Capsicum annuum plant or a part thereof grown from seed designated as PA47, a representative sample of which is deposited under ATCC Accession Number______.
