Inbred Pepper Line PPL0789

A method of introducing a desired trait into inbred pepper line PPL0789 wherein the method comprises:

• a) crossing the inbred line PPL0789 plant grown from the inbred line PPL0789 seed, wherein a representative sample of seed of said line was deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-______, with a plant of another pepper line that comprise a desired trait to produce progeny plants, wherein the desired trait is selected from the group consisting of male sterility, male fertility, herbicide resistance, insect resistance, disease resistance, and water stress tolerance;
• b) selecting progeny plants that have the desired trait to produce selected progeny plants;
• c) crossing the selected progeny plants with the inbred pepper line PPL0789 plants to produce backcross progeny plants;
• d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have the desired trait and physiological and morphological characteristics of inbred pepper line PPL0789 listed in Table 1 to produce selected backcross progeny plants;
• and
• e) repeating steps (c) and (d) one or more times in succession to produce selected second or higher backcross progeny plants that comprise the desired trait and the physiological and morphological characteristics of inbred pepper line PPL0789 as listed in Table 1.
