Abstract
Genetic male sterility was found in the Bell type pepper variety ‘All Big’. Breeding experiments suggest that the character is controlled by a single recessive gene in Bell type pepper varieties. This new source of male sterility appears to be superior to sources formerly reported by being highly stable and already present with a Bell type genetic background, and by the absence of undesirable pleiotropic effects. The usefulness of the character for hybrid seed production is discussed.Keywords
