Method for transferring one or more genetic traits from a plant of the purple-flowered capsicum species to a plant of the white-flowered capsicum species

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for transferring one or more genetic traits from a purple-flowered Capsicum species plant comprising said genetic trait, to a white-flowered Capsicum species plant, said method comprising the steps of: (a) preparing a first hybrid plant comprising said genetic trait by crossing a first purple-flowered Capsicum species comprising said genetic traits with a second purple-flowered Capsicum species; (b) preparing a second hybrid plant by crossing said first hybrid plant with a first white-flowered Capsicum species plant; (c) crossing said second hybrid plant with said first purple-flowered Capsicum species plant to produce first progeny plants; and (d) preparing a third hybrid plant by crossing the first progeny plants obtained in step (c) with a second white-flowered Capsicum species plant to produce second progeny plants, and selecting the third hybrid plant from the second progeny plants comprising said one or more genetic traits.
