The African eggplant is a solanaceous vegetable with bitter tasting immature fruit of various colors (light green, dark green, white) and shapes (from elongated to round). Because it is a little known vegetable, there are few studies on the inheritance of its economically important traits. The objective of this work had was to study the inheritance of shape and immature fruit color in S. gilo, in order to assi...
The aim of this study was to develop bell pepper hybrids with resistance to multiple pathogens and make inferences in regard to components of heterosis in hybrids obtained from lines presumed to be resistant to Pepper yellow mosaic virus (PepYMV), Phytophthora capsici, or Meloidogyne incognita. The studies were carried out in a greenhouse. We used ten lines, thirty experimental hybrids, and seven controls (Kona...
The aim of this study was to assess resistance to some of the major sweet pepper pathogens [Phytophthora capsici, Pepper yellow mosaic virus (PepYMV) and Meloidogyne incognita] in a group of experimental hybrids and their respective parental lines, and to identify hybrids possibly resistant to all three pathogens. Ten parental breeding lines, thirty experimental hybrids and seven commercial controls (Konan-R, M...
