Abstract

The invention provides seeds and plants of pepper hybrid SVHJ4350 and pepper line HJA-FD15-1368. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds, plant parts, and tissue cultures of pepper hybrid SVHJ4350 and pepper line HJA-FD15-1368 and to methods for producing a pepper plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another plant, such as a pepper plant of another genotype. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to plants, seeds, plant parts, and tissue cultures of pepper hybrid SVHJ4350 and pepper line HJA-FD15-1368 comprising introduced beneficial or desirable traits.

Claims

1. A pepper plant comprising at least a first set of the chromosomes of pepper line HJA-FD15-1368, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-125101.

2. A pepper seed that produces the plant of claim 1.

3. The plant of claim 1, wherein the plant is a plant of said pepper line HJA-FD15-1368.

4. The plant of claim 1, wherein the plant is a plant of pepper hybrid SVHJ4350.

5. The seed of claim 2, wherein the seed is a seed of said pepper line HJA-FD15-1368.

6. The seed of claim 2, wherein the seed is a seed of pepper hybrid SVHJ4350.

7. A plant part of the plant of claim 1, wherein the plant part comprises a cell of said plant.

8. A pepper plant having all the physiological and morphological characteristics of the plant of claim 1.

9. A tissue culture of regenerable cells of the plant of claim 1, wherein at least one cell of said tissue culture comprises at least a first set of chromosomes of said pepper line HJA-FD15-1368.

10. A method of vegetatively propagating the plant of claim 1, the method comprising the steps of:

(a) collecting tissue capable of being propagated from the plant of claim 1; and

(b) propagating a pepper plant from said tissue.

11. A method of introducing a trait into a pepper line, the method comprising:

(a) utilizing as a recurrent parent the plant of claim 1 by crossing said plant with a donor plant that comprises a trait to produce F₁ progeny;

(b) selecting an F₁ progeny that comprises the trait;

(c) backcrossing the selected F₁ progeny with a plant of the same line used as the recurrent parent in step (a) to produce backcross progeny;

(d) selecting a backcross progeny comprising the trait and the morphological and physiological characteristics of the recurrent parent line used in step (a); and

(e) repeating steps (c) and (d) three or more times to produce a selected fourth or higher backcross progeny.

12. A pepper plant produced by the method of claim 11.

13. A method of producing a pepper plant comprising an added trait, the method comprising introducing a transgene conferring the trait into the plant of claim 1.

14. A pepper plant produced by the method of claim 13.

19. A method for producing a seed of a pepper plant derived from at least one of pepper hybrid SVHJ4350 or pepper line HJA-FD15-1368, the method comprising the steps of:

(a) crossing the plant of claim 1 with itself or a different pepper plant; and

(b) allowing a seed of a pepper hybrid SVHJ4350-derived or pepper line HJA-FD15-1368-derived pepper plant to form.

20. A method of producing a seed of a pepper hybrid SVHJ4350-derived or pepper line HJA-FD15-1368-derived pepper plant, the method comprising the steps of:

(a) producing a pepper hybrid SVHJ4350-derived or pepper line HJA-FD15-1368-derived pepper plant from a seed produced by crossing the plant of claim 1 with itself or a different pepper plant; and

(b) crossing the pepper hybrid SVHJ4350-derived or pepper line HJA-FD15-1368-derived pepper plant with itself or a different pepper plant to obtain a seed of a further pepper hybrid SVHJ4350-derived or pepper line HJA-FD15-1368-derived pepper plant.

21. The method of claim 20, the method further comprising repeating said producing and crossing steps of (a) and (b) using the seed from said step (b) for producing the plant according to step (a) for at least one generation to produce a seed of an additional pepper hybrid SVHJ4350-derived or pepper line HJA-FD15-1368-derived pepper plant.

22. A method of producing a pepper fruit, the method comprising:

(a) obtaining the plant of claim 1, wherein the plant has been cultivated to maturity; and

(b) collecting a pepper fruit from the plant.

15. A pepper plant comprising at least a first set of the chromosomes of pepper line HJA-FD15-1368, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-125101, further comprising a transgene.

16. The plant of claim 15, wherein the transgene confers a trait selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, pest resistance, disease resistance, modified fatty acid metabolism, environmental stress tolerance, modified carbohydrate metabolism, and modified protein metabolism.

17. A pepper plant comprising at least a first set of the chromosomes of pepper line HJA-FD15-1368, a sample of seed of said line having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-125101, further comprising a single locus conversion.

18. The plant of claim 17, wherein the single locus conversion confers a trait selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, pest resistance, disease resistance, modified fatty acid metabolism, environmental stress tolerance, modified carbohydrate metabolism, and modified protein metabolism.
