Patent number: 10499578Abstract: The present invention provides methods and composition for preparing seeds that when cultivated produce pepper plants with seedless fruits. These plants may further be male sterile and contain a stable non-Peterson Cytoplasmic Male Sterility (“CMS”). The invention also provides essentially pure populations of seed that, when grown, produce pepper plants with seedless fruit. Methods are provided comprising crossing a stable non-Peterson CMS plant as a female parent with pepper lines displaying a parthenocarpy trait. The invention also includes the seeds produced by such a method. Methods for breeding and using seedless pepper plants for enhancing the production of fruit under suboptimal temperature conditions are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2017Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: Seminis Vegetable Seeds, Inc.Inventors: Benoit Gorguet, Carl M. Jones, Dirk Vreugdenhil, Rebeca N. Benitez

Patent number: 8158852Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing a plant of the Capsicum genus that exhibits resistance to Pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV) pathotype 1.2.3, comprising providing a recipient plant of the Capsicum genus that is susceptible to PMMoV pathotype 1.2.3 or a part thereof, and introducing into the genome of the recipient plant or a part thereof or a progeny plant thereof a genomic region comprising a truncated L4 resistance allele, wherein the allele comprises genetic information capable of being expressed in the plant or plant part or progeny plant thereby conferring resistance to PMMoV pathotype 1.2.3 to the plant or plant part or progeny plant, and wherein genetic information that confers the SNFD phenotype is absent from the allele at least to such an extent that the SNFD phenotype is not expressed.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2011Date of Patent: April 17, 2012Assignee: Monsanto Invest N.V.Inventors: Anton Pieter Allersma, René Johannes Maria Hofstede, Dirk Vreugdenhil
