32. The plant part of claim 31, further defined as a leaf, a flower, a fruit, an ovule, pollen, or a cell.

33. A method of producing a pepper seed comprising crossing the plant of claim 1 with itself or a second pepper plant and allowing seed to form.

34. A method of producing a pepper fruit comprising:

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

(b) collecting a pepper from the plant.

2. A pepper seed comprising at least a first set of the chromosomes of pepper line HJA-FD-1183 or pepper line SJR-114-1160, a sample of seed of said lines having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-120653 and ATCC Accession Number PTA-120654, respectively.

5. The seed of claim 2, which is an inbred.

6. The seed of claim 2, which is a hybrid.

8. The seed of claim 6, defined as a seed of pepper hybrid SV0045HJ, a sample of seed of said hybrid SV0045HJ having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA -120652.

9. The seed of claim 2, defined as a seed of line HJA-FD-1183 or line SJR-114-1160.

18. A method of introducing a desired trait into a pepper line comprising:

(a) utilizing as a recurrent parent a plant of either pepper line HJA-FD-1183 or pepper line SJR-114-1160, by crossing a plant of pepper line HJA-FD-1183 or pepper line SJR-114-1160 with a second donor pepper plant that comprises a desired trait to produce F1 progeny, a sample of seed of said lines having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-120653, and ATCC Accession Number PTA-120654, respectively;

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

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

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