There are relatively large differences not only in general combining ability (GCA) effect among different parents and at different phases of flowering and fruit setting, but also in specific combining ability (SCA) effect among different hybrids. There are relatively large GCA effects in late parents but relatively less GCA effects in early parents. No obvious laws have been found in the relationship between SCA effects and maturity of hybrids. Variances of SCA are larger than those of GCA. Heritability is less but influence of environment is larger. Correlation analysis of combining ability between net photosynthesis rate and agronomic character or resistances to main diseases has showed that correlation coefficients of GCA are relatively large at the medium phase and the late phase of flowering and fruit setting. Net photosynthesis rate is more relative to leaf characters and fruit characters. Correlation coefficients of SCA are relatively large at the early phase and the late phase of flowering and fruit setting. Net photosynthesis rate is more relative to leaf characters and plant characters at the early phase but to plant characters and fruit characters at the late phase. Correlation coefficients of SCA between net photosynthesis rate and resistances to main diseases are larger than those of GCA. The combining abilities of net photosynthesis rate at different phases of flowering and fruit setting are positively correlated with those of yield per plant. The combining ability is an important parameter of breeding of high photosynthesis hybrid pepper varieties.展开更多

The purpose of this paper is to report the isolation and purification of a novo-member of a protease inhibitor from jalapeño pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) (PIJP). The molecular weight of PIJP inhibitor is 5.95 kDa with 56 amino acids and 6 Cys residues with high inhibitory activity to trypsin with a Ki value of 95 nM. This inhibitor according to the alignment with homologous from NCBI and Pfam databases is a member of proteinase inhibitors II. It is worthwhile to mention a major compositional difference between the proteinase inhibitor II families which have 8 Cys residues. PIJP is the first purified proteinase inhibitor, member of this family with only 6 Cys residues.展开更多

Chili pepper inbred lines (A, D, E, and I) were transformed with Cre gene and Barnase gene situated between loxp, separately, by means of Agrobacterium co-culture. In this study, we had established a high transformation system by extensive study of affecting factors including genotype, selection of marker, and lethal dose. Cotyledon with petiole from 9-11-day-old seeding was pre-cultured on media MR[MB(MS mineral+vitamine B5)+BA(6-Benzyladenine) 5.0 mg·L^-1 +IAA(indoleacetic acid) 1.0 mg·L^-1+GA3(gibberellic acid) 1.0mg·L^-1+sucrose 3%+agar 6.5g·L^-1] for 2d. The explants were infected by Agrobacterium tumefaciens when their OD600(optical density at 600 nm)reached 0.6-0.9. After co-cultured for 4-5 d on media MC [MB+BA5.0 mg·L^-1+IAA 1.0 mg·L^-1 +GA3 1.0 mg·L^-1+sucrose 3% +agar 6.5 g·L^-1+AS (acetosyringone) 200μmol·L^-1, these cotyledons with petiole were cultured on selective differentiation medium in the media MT[MB medium supplemented with BA [5.0 mg·L^-1+ IAA 1.0 mg·L^-1+ GA3 1.0 mg·L^-1+ AgNO3 5.0 mg·L^-1+ CW (coconut water) 5% + Km (kanamycin) 65 mg·L^-1+ Cb (carbenicillin) 500 mg·L^-1+ 3% sucrose + agar 6.5 g·L^-1].The Kmr (kanamycin resistant) bud rosettes were elongated on selective elongation medium and rooted on rooting medium. PCR and Southern blotting analysis of Kmr plantlet indicated that the foreign genes had been integrated into the genome of pepper. The transgenic plants with Cre gene developed well, blossomed out, and set fruit normally. The transgenic plants with Barnase gene grew well with normal appearance of flower, but they showed different fertility from complete sterility, partial sterility to complete fertility, and similar results were obtained from in vitro pollen germination experiments.展开更多
