title: Induction of streptomycin-resistant plantlets inCapsicum annuum L. through mutagenesisin vitro.
abstract: Streptomycin resistant shoots were regenerated from mutagenised (ethylemethane sulphonate treated) cotyledon explants ofCapsicum annuum Cv G4. Streptomycin resistant shoots developed from green (unbleached) sectors of the cotyledons. Reciprocal crosses betweeen streptomycin resistant and sensitive plants have shown a non-mendelian transmission. Such mutant plants should be useful in designing biochemical selection schemes to recover somatic hybrids and cybrids ofC. annuum.
