The present invention relates to a pepper plant (L.) which may comprise a QTL that leads to the plant producing fruits that have a novel flavor, which QTL is obtainable from a pepper plant which may comprise said QTL, representative seed of which was deposited with the NCIMB under accession number NCIMB 42137.

Pepper with altered flavor attributes and odor intensity

The present invention relates to a pepper plant (L.) which may comprise at least one QTL selected from QTL1, QTL2 and QTL3, which when present lead to the plant producing fruits with an increased total content of terpenoids, wherein said QTL1 is obtainable from a pepper plant which may comprise said QTL representative seed of which was deposited at the NCIMB under number NCIMB 42140, and wherein said QTL2 and QTL3 are obtainable from a pepper plant which may comprise said QTL representative seed of which was deposited at the NCIMB under number NCIMB 42138.

Pepper with increased total content of terpenoids

The present invention relates to a pepper plant () that produces fruits with an increased Brix level, wherein the pepper plant may comprise a QTL, which when present leads to pepper fruits with increased Brix level, and wherein said QTL is similar to, or in particular the same as the QTL present in the genome of plants grown from seed which was deposited at the NCIMB under NCIMB number 42139, and wherein said QTL is linked to at least one marker selected from the group of SEQ ID NO:1, SEQ ID NO:3, SEQ ID NO:5, and SEQ ID NO:7 and wherein the QTL is preferably homozygously present.

Pepper with increased brix level

The present invention relates to a pepper plant showing the trait fruit formation in the absence of fertilization wherein said trait is obtainable by introgression from a plant grown from seed that was deposited with the NCIMB under accession number NCIMB 41678, NCIMB 41680, or NCIMB 41684. The invention further relates to progeny of the plant, propagation material for producing the plant, to fruits of the plant and to a food product comprising the fruit or parts thereof.
