Crossbreeding studies of sweet ornamental pepper suitable for pickle industry

Abstract

Aims: The aim of this study is to develop capsaicinoid-free sweet pickled pepper lines by intra-and inter-specific combination.

Methods and Results: In this study, high yielded, non-pungent, single bite, ornamental pepper lines have been improved, by pedigree-controlled single selection breeding method through combination 2 exterior ornamental pepper varieties (Biquinho and Santos Flame) and 3 sweet pepper genotypes (MKÜ-69, F66-SB, and CHF-1). The capsaicin contents of the parents, hybrid, and developed pepper lines were determined by High-Pressure Liquid Chromatography and converted to Scoville Heat Unit (SHU). It has been determined that there is no hotness in the Santos Flame variety, but in the Biquinho variety had a low level (396 SHU) hotness cannot be sensed, and a very high hotness (15733 SHU) occurs in the fruits of F1 plants. Due to the presence of the hotness in the fruits obtained from the F2 generation, this combination has been discontinued. Four F6 pickling sweet ornamental pepper lines have been improved from combinations of Santos Flame cultivar was used as the male, and MKÜ-69, F66-SB, and CHF-1 genotypes were used as female parents. Open-pollinated variety candidate no. 8 developed as pickled sweet ornamental pepper from Santos Flame and MKÜ-69, F66-SB and CHF-1 combinations have 60 cm plant height, 52.6 mm fruit length, 9.0 mm fruit width, and 2.2 g fruit weight. The number of fruits was determined as 274 fruit per plant and the average yield was 598 g plant-1. The candidate number 9 line has the characteristics of 70 cm plant height, 36.5 mm fruit length, 13.1 mm fruit width, and 2.9 g fruit weight. The average fruit number is 263 fruit per plant, the average yield is 759 g plant-1 and 3581 kg da-1.

Conclusions: Considering the hotness trait in pepper genetically distant parents which are similar in terms of the character desired to be introgressed generate segregation.

Significance and Impact of the Study: As a result of the study, sweet ornamental pepper lines, which can be consumed in single bite without pungency components, have been developed as an alternative to pickled hot pepper varieties.
