Color loss of Chile pods (Capsicum annuum L.) weathered on and off the plant was compared to that of refrigerated powder of comparable pods. Pods were harvested at 4-week intervals, dried at 65C, and ground and analyzed for color. Powder from these fruit was stored at 2C and analyzed at 4-week intervals. Pods that were weathered on or off the plant lost redness at a rate about one-half of that for refrigerated powder during 84 days of storage or weathering.

different aspect about polyacrylamide application ( Entry and Sojka, 2003 ). In this 3-year study, we characterized three substrates for sweet pepper plants ( Capsicum annuum L.). Our aims were 1) to establish the influence of these substrates on vegetative
Of 467 accessions of Capsicum pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) tested for resistance to gray leaf spot, KC321, KC220, KC208, KC47 (PI244670), KC43 (PI244670), KC380, and KC319 were highly resistant to both Stemphylium solani and S. lycopersici, the causal agents of gray leaf spot.
amendments) requirements but has not been certified. In the fall of 2004, the plant residue from bell pepper ( Capsicum annuum L.), cucumber ( Cucumis sativus L.), and sweet corn ( Zea mays var. rugosa Bonaf.) was mowed, left for 2 weeks, and soil
‘Waldmann’s Green’), pepper ( Capsicum annuum ‘Fruit Basket’), soybean ( Glycine max ‘Hoyt’), cucumber ( Cucumis sativus ‘Spacemaster’), and canola ( Brassica napus ‘Westar’) were sown in 15-cm round pots. Pots contained a Nitex ® nylon liner (Sefar
Crossing barriers between white- and purple-flowered species were examined. Four accessions of Capsicum annuum and three of C. pubescens were reciprocally crossed with one to four accessions of C. baccatum, C. cardenasii, C. chacoense, C. chinense, C. eximium, C. frutescens, C. galapagoense, and C. praetermissum. Capsicum chacoense is the only white-flowered species that inhibits C. annuum pollen tube growth but allows C. pubescens pollen tube penetration into the egg cell. Capsicum cardenasii and C. eximium exhibit similar crossabilities with C. annuum and C. pubescens: pollen tubes of C. cardenasii and of C. eximium can penetrate the egg cells of C. annuum but not vice versa, and pollen tubes of C. pubescens can penetrate the egg cells of C. cardenasii and of C. eximium but not vice versa.
Electrolyte leakage was used to quantify heat stress injury in `Early Calwonder' pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) leaf disks. Lethal temperatures were estimated from the midpoint of the sigmoidal response curve. An interaction between exposure temperature and duration was observed, with lethal temperatures decreasing linearly from 53 to 46C as exposure duration increased exponentially from 5 to 240 min. Exposure to two 7.5-min periods at 51.5C, interrupted by 4 hours at 21C, resulted in the same injury as a continuous 15-min exposure to 51.5C. Plants grown at 22/20C day/night cycles and held 24 hours at 38/30C had increased their heat tolerance by 3C, 51 to 54C; these plants reacclimated to 52C 48 hours after having been transferred back to 22/20C. Leaf disks acclimated significantly in vitro in 1 hour and were fully acclimated by 4 hours at 38C.
In one greenhouse and two field experiments, eight or ten pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) cultivars were subjected to low-light stress by use of shade cloth (reducing light by 80%) or to foliar sprays of ethephon at 75 or 150 pi-liter-]. Both low-light stress and ethephon identified `Ace', 'Canape', and. `Belrubi' as less susceptible to flower and flower bud abscission than other cultivars in the first field experiment. In the 2nd year, air mean maxima of 32C caused severe abscission in controls and shaded plants, and complete loss of flowers in those sprayed with ethephon. Abscission of disbudded pedicels was not related to abscission susceptibility of eight cultivars when subjected to shade. While ethephon spray can serve as a satisfactory abscission screening tool under unstressed growing conditions, low-light stress imposed by shading may be used under a wider range of conditions. Chemical name used: 2-chloroethyl phosphoric acid (ethephon).
Methods Experiment. Controlled environment condition experiment with bell peppers ( Capsicum annuum L.) cv. X3R Red Knight was conducted using completely randomized design with four replications. Peppers were started from certified seed in 36-cell trays
