Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for transferring one or more genetic traits from a purple-flowered Capsicum species plant comprising said genetic trait, to a white-flowered Capsicum species plant, said method comprising the steps of: (a) preparing a first hybrid plant comprising said genetic trait by crossing a first purple-flowered Capsicum species comprising said genetic traits with a second purple-flowered Capsicum species; (b) preparing a second hybrid plant by crossing said first hybrid plant with a first white-flowered Capsicum species plant; (c) crossing said second hybrid plant with said first purple-flowered Capsicum species plant to produce first progeny plants; and (d) preparing a third hybrid plant by crossing the first progeny plants obtained in step (c) with a second white-flowered Capsicum species plant to produce second progeny plants, and selecting the third hybrid plant from the second progeny plants comprising said one or more genetic traits.

Abstract: Hybrid pepper cultivar designated E420088 which is a bell pepper type and suitable for covered cultivation, is disclosed. The invention provides green bell pepper fruit which has a sweet taste comparable to that of ripe bell peppers due to increased glucose and fructose contents. The invention relates to the seeds of hybrid pepper cultivar E420088 and to the plants of hybrid pepper cultivar E420088. The invention also relates to methods for producing a pepper plant, either inbred or hybrid, by crossing the hybrid cultivar E420088 with itself or another pepper cultivar. The invention further relates to methods for producing other pepper cultivars derived from the hybrid E420088.
