Abstract: Apparatus and a method for creation and maintenance of a closed field system in which magnetrons and/or magnet assemblies are provided in a form to create a magnetic field around an area in which a substrate to be coated is located. The method also relates to the steps of cleaning the substrates and applying an adhesive layer prior to the material which is to form the coating.

Abstract: The present invention concerns Capsicum annuum plants producing pepper fruits, exhibiting new physicochemical characteristics of the pepper fruit in relation with chlorophyll A & B, lutein as well as violaxanthin. The pepper fruits of the plants according to the present invention also exhibit a characteristic extreme dark green color at immature stage which color is linked to the content in pigment of the said fruit. The present invention also relates to QTL alleles directing the expression of the pigment content of those pepper fruits as well as molecular markers associated with these QTL alleles.
