years of recurrent phenotypic selection in 2003 and 2004. The final selection was made in 2004 when 13 open-pollinated fruit from two different locations (Attapulgus Research Farm, Attapulgus, GA, and the Vidalia Onion and Vegetable Research Center

valuable attributes in regions where these stresses exist. ‘TAM Dulcito’ could be a useful parent to develop other virus-resistant jalapeño cultivars with varying degrees of pungency or other attributes. The seed of this open-pollinated cultivar will be

The New Mexico State University chile pepper breeding program has announced the release of the cultivar NuMex NoBasco, an open-pollinated, no-heat Capsicum frutescens . Compared with C. annuum or C . chinense , there are relatively few named

cultivars, indicating that ‘Chujuc’ has tolerance to the fungus, because it does not decline rapidly as do ‘Primo’ and ‘Caravelle’. ‘Chujuc’ should be suitable as an open-pollinated cultivar based on its performance compared with F 1 hybrid cultivars, which

( Figs. 1 and 2 ). Plants and fruit were compared with an open-pollinated cultivar called Serrano (Siegers Seed Co., Holland, MI), with mature red fruits. Replicated trials were performed for 2 years using a randomized complete block design with at

geitonogamous pollination) affected nut set compared with no movement (bagged), hand cross-pollinated (between different cultivars), and open (exposed to pollinators) racemes. We also assessed whether nut set was affected by pollination deficits across blocks by

heat level. Using phenotypic selection, superior single plants were stripped of any set fruit and open flowers, caged, allowed to produce selfed seed, and re-planted in 2002 in 30-foot observation plots for further selection. The process of phenotypic

seed set ranging from 0.10% to 8.09% for different types of populations. The seed set for open pollination ranged from 2.8% to 57% among the populations ( Kenna et al., 1983 ; Richardson et al., 1978 ). Seed set varies between diploid and tetraploid

-incompatibility of most olive varieties. This is possible because open, wind pollination is often sufficient to obtain adequate yield, given the extraordinary varietal richness found in most traditional olive regions, where a mixture of varieties growing nearby is
