TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE LINES SELECTED OUT FROM INTERSPECIFIC HYBRIDS CAPSICUM ANNUUM L. x CAPSICUM CHINENSE JACQ.

摘要

The plant material constituting the summary of eight years of research were the lines being the generation F_6 of hybrids created as a result of crossing annual pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) and Chinese pepper (C. chinense Jacq.). The evaluated lines were homozygotic in a high degree. The volume of commercial yield of ripe fruit varied from 4.66 to 6.48 kg-m~(-2) and the average fruit weight from 25 to 130 g. A technological performance understood as part of pericarp obtained as a result of preparing the fruit for preservation in relation to the whole fruit weight reached 91%, whereas a biological performance meaning part of edible part in the whole fruit weight reached 95%. The maximum thickness of pericarp reached the level of 6.6 mm. A comprehensive analysis of average values of tested lines makes it possible to distinguish three of them. It was indicated that they could be used as components of hybrids F_1.
