Abstract
A cultivated pepper plant or seed capable of producing high yield properties of parthenocarpic fruits. The plant or seed comprises at least one Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) for an Excellent Parthenocarpy (EP) trait, the EP trait conferring production of elevated yield properties of parthenocarpic seedless fruits, as compared to a pepper plant having the same genetic background and lacking this EP trait, and the QTL is selected from QTL1 located 09.0-13.5 Mbp on chromosome 1, and QTL2 located 199-218 Mbp on chromosome 10.

A cultivated pepper plant or seed capable of producing high yield properties of parthenocarpic fruits, wherein said plant or seed comprises at least one Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) for an Excellent Parthenocarpy (EP) trait, said EP trait conferring production of elevated yield properties of parthenocarpic seedless fruits, as compared to a pepper plant having the same genetic background and lacking said EP trait, said QTL is selected from QTL1 located 09.0-13.5 Mbp on chromosome 1, and QTL2 located 199-218 Mbp on chromosome 10.
An allele, haplotype, QTL, molecular marker or gene being inherited to progeny plant, wherein said allele, haplotype, QTL, molecular marker or gene is associated with an Excellent Parthenocarpy (EP) trait capable of conferring production of elevated yield of parthenocarpic seedless fruits as compared to a pepper plant having the same genetic background and lacking said allele, haplotype, QTL, molecular marker or gene, said molecular marker and/or gene sequence is selected from the group consisting of:
- a. a molecular marker selected from (i) SEQ ID NO:
- 281-290 or any combination thereof, (ii) allele A at position 9570115 as indicated in pepper genome Capsicum annuum cv CM334 v1.55 or at position 12,239,886 as indicated in Capsicum annuum cv Maor genome ASM2707369v1 NCBI, and/or (iii) a gene encoding a sequence selected from SEQ ID NO:
- 1-93 or any combination thereof, (iv) or any combination thereof, associated with QTL1 located 09.0-13.5 Mbp on chromosome 1;
- b. a molecular marker selected from (i) SEQ ID NO:
- 291-323 or any combination thereof, (ii) an allele selected from the group consisting of:
