Pepper hybrid svpb6274 and parents thereof

Abstract

The invention provides seeds and plants of pepper hybrid SVPB6274, pepper line SBR-8T16-6413, and pepper line SBR8T11-6038. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds, plant parts, and tissue cultures of pepper hybrid SVPB6274, pepper line SBR-8T16-6413, and pepper line SBR8T11-6038 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 SVPB6274, pepper line SBR-8T16-6413, and pepper line SBR8T11-6038 comprising introduced beneficial or desirable traits.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to the field of plant breeding and, more specifically, to the development of pepper hybrid SVPB6274 and pepper lines SBR-8T16-6413 and SBR8T11-6038.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The goal of vegetable breeding is to combine various desirable traits in a single variety. Such desirable traits may include any trait deemed beneficial or desirable by a grower or consumer, including greater yield, resistance to insects or disease, tolerance to environmental stress, and nutritional value.[0003]Breeding techniques take advantage of a plant's method of pollination. There are two general methods of pollination: a plant self-pollinates if pollen from one flower is transferred to the same or another flower of the same plant or plant variety. A plant cross-pollinates if pollen comes to it from a flower of a different plant variety.[0004]Plants that have been self-pollinated and selected for type over many generations become homozygous a...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a process for creating new pepper plants by growing seeds from two parents and preventing them from pollinating themselves. The technical effect of this process is the creation of new pepper plants with specific traits that can be selected for in future breeding programs.

Problems solved by technology

Conversely, a cross of two plants each heterozygous at a number of loci produces a population of hybrid plants that differ genetically and are not uniform.

The resulting non-uniformity makes performance unpredictable.
