Abstract
Fig. 1. Pedigree of ‘Jaloro’ with multiple virus resistance. Several viral diseases are responsible for the decline of profitable pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) production in Texas and other areas throughout the United States and the world (Villalon, 1981). ‘Jaloro’ is a pungent (hot), yellow, jalapeno pepper with multiple virus resistance (MVR). It was developed by the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station (TAES), Weslaco, and released in 1992. ‘Jaloro’ is resistant to local isolates of tobacco etch virus (TEV), potato virus Y (PVY), pepper mottle virus (PeMV), tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), tobacco ringspot virus (TRSV), and cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). This is the first yellow jalapeno pepper cultivar ever developed. It combines the attractive bright yellow pigmentation with the jalapeno shape. Its high capsaicin concentration makes this pepper a potentially popular ingredient for salads and pickled products.
