Abstract
The invention provides seed and plants of the pepper hybrid 9942815 and parents thereof. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of such plants, and to methods for producing a pepper plant produced by crossing a plant provided with itself or with another pepper plant, such as a plant of another line. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to parts of a plant, including the fruit and gametes of such plants.
Claims27
A plant comprising at least a first set of chromosomes of pepper line SBR99-1295 or of pepper line SBY99-1296, a sample of the seed of which was deposited under ATCC Accession Nos. PTA-8688 and PTA-9232, respectively.
A method for producing a seed of a hybrid 9942815, line SBR99-1295, or line SBY99-1296-derived pepper plant comprising the steps of:
- (a) crossing a pepper plant of hybrid 9942815, line SBR99-1295, or line SBY99-1296, a sample of seed of said hybrid and lines having been deposited under ATCC Accession Numbers PTA-8691, PTA-8688 and PTA-9232, respectively, with a second pepper plant;
- and
- (b) allowing seed of a hybrid 9942815, line SBR99-1295, or line SBY99-1296-derived pepper plant to form.
A method of vegetatively propagating a plant of sweet pepper hybrid 9942815, line SBR99-1295, or line SBY99-1296 comprising the steps of:
- (a) collecting tissue capable of being propagated from a plant of sweet pepper hybrid 9942815, line SBR99-1295, or line SBY99-1296, a sample of seed of said hybrid and lines having been deposited under ATCC Accession Numbers PTA-8691, PTA-8688 and PTA-9232, respectively;
- (b) cultivating said tissue to obtain proliferated shoots;
- and
- (c) rooting said proliferated shoots to obtain rooted plantlets.
A method of crossing sweet pepper hybrid 9942815 comprising:
- (a) crossing a plant of hybrid 9942815, a sample of seed of said hybrid having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-8691, with a second pepper plant that comprises a desired trait to produce F1 progeny;
- (b) selecting an F1 progeny that comprises the desired trait;
- (c) crossing the selected F1 progeny with a plant of hybrid 9942815, a sample of seed of said hybrid having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-8691, to produce additional progeny;
- (d) selecting additional progeny comprising the desired trait;
- and
- (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) three or more times in succession to produce selected progeny that comprise the desired trait.
A method of producing a plant of sweet pepper hybrid 9942815, a sample of seed of said hybrid having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-8691, comprising an added desired trait, the method comprising introducing a transgene conferring the desired trait into a plant of sweet pepper hybrid 9942815.
A method of introducing a desired trait into a pepper line comprising:
- (a) utilizing as a recurrent parent a plant of either pepper line SBR99-1295 or of pepper line SBY99-1296, by crossing a plant of pepper line SBR99-1295 or of pepper line SBY99-1296, a sample of the seed of which was deposited under ATCC Accession Nos. PTA-8688 and PTA-9232, respectively, with a second pepper plant that comprises a desired trait to produce F1 progeny;
- (b) selecting an F1 progeny that comprises the desired trait;
- (c) crossing the selected F1 progeny with a plant of the same pepper line used as the recurrent parent in step (a) to produce backcross progeny;
- (d) selecting backcross progeny comprising the desired trait and the physiological and morphological characteristics of the recurrent parent pepper line used in step (a);
- and
- (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) three or more times in succession to produce selected fourth or higher backcross progeny that comprise the desired trait, and otherwise comprise essentially all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of the recurrent parent pepper line used in step (a).
A method of producing a plant of pepper line SBR99-1295 or of pepper line SBY99-1296, a sample of seed of said lines having been deposited under ATCC Accession Numbers PTA-8688 and PTA-9232, respectively, comprising an added desired trait, the method comprising introducing a transgene conferring the desired trait into a plant of pepper line SBR99-1295 or pepper line SBY99-1296.
