Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of agricultural planting, and particularly relates to a method for creating an antherless pepper sterile line. Background Art
[0002] Pepper is a solanaceous vegetable crop and condiment deeply loved by consumers in China. The planting area and output value of peppers in China rank first among vegetables. Correspondingly, the losses caused by pepper diseases are relatively serious. Diseases such as pepper phytophthora blight and anthracnose directly threaten the safety and healthy development of the pepper industry. Selecting and applying high-quality pepper varieties with excellent compound disease resistance is one of the effective ways to prevent diseases.
[0003] At present, there are many varieties of peppers on the market. Each variety of pepper has its own advantages and disadvantages, and each pepper has different resistance to diseases.
