Patent ID: 7943831

Claim:
An inbred plant of the Capsicum genus that exhibits resistance to pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV) pathotype 1.2.3 due to the presence of the L4 resistance allele in the genome of said plant, wherein said L4 resistance allele is truncated, and wherein the truncation involves the presence of at least one Group 1 marker selected from the group consisting of E58/M50-F-580, E39/M58-F-95, E58/M60-F-255 and E54/M55-F-101, the truncation further comprising a genetic deletion of about 2 centimorgans (cM) or less between a Group 2 marker and a Group 1 marker involving the absence of at least one Group 2 marker selected from the group consisting of E35/M49-F-90, E39/M58-F-65, E39/M51-F-380, E58/M62-F-168, E66/M54-F-600, and Tm3-DRS, or wherein the truncation comprises a genetic deletion of about 2 cM or less between a Group 3 marker and a Group 1 marker, involving the absence of the Group 3 marker E60/M54-F-447, and wherein said plant is homozygous for said L4 resistance allele.
