It was even used for DH production in a cayenne type of hot pepper which was previously known as less responsive or even more recalcitrant to androgenesis than sweet bell pepper. Indeed, anther culture on double-layered media has been routinely used to produce DH plants on broad genotypes of C. annuum as parental candidates to develop hybrid varieties. The step-by-step protocol of pepper anther culture on double-layered media, we hereby present in detail, includes the growth of donor plants, the use of flower buds as anther source, flower bud disinfection, anther isolation, anther culture and incubation processes, embryo germination and plant acclimatization process, and transplanting of plants to the soil-compost medium ...

Therefore, several factors were investigated to refine the protocol in order to increase the percentage of normal-looking embryos. The most important factors which improved the protocol and resulted in a significantly higher percentage of normal-looking embryos produces (>50%), were delayed enrichment of the liquid upper layer medium with 2.5 μM Zeatin and 5 μM IAA, and reduced incubation temperature from 28 °C to 21 °C, both after 3 weeks of culture. Addition of 1% activated charcoal in the solid lower layer of the medium enhanced the total embryo yield only, while an application of abscisic acid and increased osmolality medium had a detrimental effect on embryo production. The use of doubled haploid lines as anther donor plants has clearly decreased the variability and improved the statistical analysis of treatment effects. A higher percentage of normal embryos are produced with this refined protocol, and is therefore more suitable for implementation in the breeding programs of hot pepper.

A shed-microspore culture protocol was developed which outperformed all the previously reported methods of haploid production in pepper. The critical factors of the protocol are: selection of flower buds with more than 50% late unicellular microspores, a 1 day 4°C pretreatment of the buds, followed by culture of the anthers in double-layer medium system for 1 week at 9°C and thereafter at 28°C in continuous darkness. The medium contained Nitsch components and 2% maltose, with 1% activated charcoal in the solid under layer and 2.5 μM zeatin and 5 μM indole-3-acetic acid in the liquid upper layer. All the ten genotypes of hot pepper tested, responded to this protocol. The best genotypes produced four to seven plants per original flower bud. This protocol can be used as a potential tool for producing doubled haploid p...

We sequenced part of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene from fifty whitefly populations collected in Indonesia, Thailand, India and China. Nineteen unique sequences (haplotypes) of the cytochrome oxidase I were identified in these populations. They were combined with sequences available in databases, resulting in a total of 407 haplotypes and analyzed together with nine outgroup accessions. A phylogenetic tree was calculated using the maximum likelihood method. The tree showed that all groups that were found in previous studies were also present in our study. Additionally, seven new groups were identified based on the new haplotypes. Most B. tabaci haplotypes grouped based on their geographical origin. Two groups were found to have a worldwide distribution. Our results indicate that our knowledge on the species complex around B. tabaci is still far from complete.

In this research, we characterized pepper germplasm to identify whitefly-resistant accessions that will form the basis for future resistance breeding. Forty-four pepper accessions representing four species (Capsicum annuum, C. frutescens, C. chinense, C. baccatum) were screened

To improve the efficiency of the breeding programs by speeding up the production of homozygous lines, studies were aimed at the introduction of haploid technology, which includes the regeneration and the production of doubled haploid plants from gametes. This technique is well developed in the model species Brassica napus L. via microspore culture. The results of various investigations involving both applied and fundamental aspects on microspore embryogenesis are presented in this thesis. The main results of the applied part deal with the development of an efficient shed-microspore culture protocol for the production of doubled haploid plants in Indonesian hot pepper ( C. annuum ), and its implementation under the local conditions of Indonesia. With regard to the more fundamental part, we presented...
