Quality and permanence of green color of peppers at maturity and over-maturity
Abstract:
Capsicum plants produce fruits which are and remain green at maturity and/or over-maturity, and not olive green like existing evergreen varieties. The plants homozygously include in their genome a mutant allele of the cl gene encoding the Capsicum stay-green (CaSGR) protein and a mutant allele of the wt gene encoding the phytoene synthase (PSY) protein. Further, parts and cells of the plants, in particular pepper fruits are and remain green at maturity and/or over-maturity. Moreover, methods for producing the Capsicum plants and methods identify, detect and/or select the plants.
