| Abstract: 'Hangjiao Hongguang' was a new pigment pepper F1 hybrid bred by crossing inbred line 'H56-3-5-2-4-H-H' as female parent and 'G23-2-5-3-1-H-H' as male parent, which was comprehensively
applied the technologies of space mutation, self-crossing, field nursery selection, heterosis
utilization and SRAP molecular biology. It showed mid-early maturity with growth period of 96
days from planting to red ripe fruit harvest, growth habit of semi-erect, strong growth potential,
23-27 fruits per plant, dark green mature fruit, dark-red mature fruit, 17.8-19.7 cm of longitudinal
diameter and 2.34-2.81 cm of transverse diameter, 0.28-0.33 cm of pulp thickness, 28.3-32.0 g per
fruit, 163 g/kg of dry matter, 2.62 g/kg of vitamin C, 11.6% of soluble solids and 65.6 mg/kg of
total capsaicin. Its pigment value was 20.9 and its fruit surface was smooth and shiny. 'Hangjiao
Hongguang' could be used for processing red pigment, drying, paste making and so on, which had
excellent quality, prolificacy and stability. It was suitable for open field cultivation in Gansu, Inner
Mongolia (Wuyuan county), Xinjiang (Hejing county, Heshuo county, Bohu county ) and ecological
similar areas. |
