A new and distinct pepper variety NUN 70062 PPH is disclosed, as well as seeds and plants and heads or leaves thereof.

Hybrid pepper designated ‘E20S.10382’ is disclosed. The disclosure relates to the seeds of hybrid pepper ‘E20S.10382’, to the plants of hybrid pepper ‘E20S.10382’, to methods for producing hybrid plants, and to methods for producing other pepper lines, cultivars or hybrids derived from the hybrid pepper ‘E20S.10382’.

The present invention relates to novel plants, in particular to pepper plants capable of producing fruits which can be kept a longer period of time on the plant as well as being stored after harvesting under refrigerated conditions without exhibiting excessive softening. The invention thus refers to pepper plant which produces fruits with significantly increased fruit firmness at the harvesting stage, wherein said increased fruit firmness is controlled by a genetic determinant, monogenic, wherein said increased fruit firmness is defined as a fruit deformation under a 1 kg load force that is lower than that of a fruit from a control pepper plant which does not have the said genetic determinant.

The present invention provides methods of preparing a cultivated pepper plant bearing fruit having a low destemming force, as well as methods of preparing a cultivated pepper plant bearing clustered fruit. The invention also provides cultivated pepper plants prepared by these methods.

Pepper plants exhibiting resistance to root knot nematode species are provided, together with methods of producing, identifying, or selecting plants or germplasm with a root knot nematode resistance phenotype. Such plants include pepper plants comprising introgressed genomic regions conferring pest resistance. Compositions, including novel polymorphic markers for detecting plants comprising introgressed pest resistance alleles, are further provided.
