Abstract

Viral diseases constitute the main obstacle for
pepper development in the world. In Cuba, it is mainly affected
by tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), potato virus Y (PVY), tobacco
engraving virus (TEV), pepper motted vein virus (PVMV) and
cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). The genetic control seems to
be the most efficient way. For the simultaneous construction
of virus resistance and climatic adaptation in pepper, a study
on phenotypical correlations optimizing selection was carried
out, which allowed to achieve, for the first time in Cuba,
multiresistant lines adapted to the Tropics, employed as parents
of the first Cuban F1 hybrids. As a result, seven multiresistant
lines adapted as parents of F1 hybrid of pepper were obtained:
Cu 17 (PVY and TMV); Cu 26 and Cu 28 (PVMV and TMV); Cu 29,
Cu 32 and Cu 33 (TEV and TMV) and Cu 103 (CMV and TMV).
