THE VARIETIES ILEANA AND CIPRIAN, RESULTS OF THE DIVERSIFYING OF RANGE OF PEPPER VARIETIES BY GENETIC IMPROVEMENT
Abstract
The creation of new pepper varieties by genetic improvement at Fruit Research Station is the main goal for over 50 years. There is a valuable, rich and diverse gene collection. The most recent mild pepper varieties homologated in 2007 are Ileana and Ciprian and they are presented in his poster. Both varieties are the result of a complex hybridization, followed by a repeated individual selection. As genitors, there were used valuable lines created at Fruit Research Station Cluj and valuable foreign or indigenous varieties of bell peppers and long peppers. The genetic formulae for the two varieties are: Ileana: [Cj 7-82 ? * Compact ?] F5 ? * Feher ozon ?. Cj 7-82=(Cj 5-64) ? * Alma ?. Ciprian: [Largo gruesso reus ? * Compact ?]F7 ? * Kapia de Kurtovo ?. The used genitors were very different genetically and phenotipically in the both case of varieties. There are very different from the genitors and also from each other. In conclusion, Ileana and Ciprian mild pepper varieties are very heterozygous and also very valuable for both cultures in the field and protected environment.Authors who publish with this journal agree to the following terms:
