Narrative
'Truhart-NR' is a pimento-type pepper that is homozygous for a dominant gene that conditions a high level of resistance to the southern root-knot nematode [Meloidogyne incognita (Chitwood) Kofoid and White], the peanut root-knot nematode [M. arenaria (Neal) Chitwood], and the tropical root-knot nematode [M. javanica (Treub) Chitwood]. 'Truhart-NR' is quite similar in appearance and maturity to 'Truhart Perfection'. 'Truhart-NR' has an erect plant habit and produces heart-shaped, dark red fruit. The foliage is dense and the fruits are well protected from sun scald. The lanceolate-shaped leaves are medium sized and have a medium green color. The stems and leaves are glabrous. The fruits are attached to the pedicel in a pendant manner (typically one fruit per cluster). The fruits are persistent, i.e., the pedicel and calyx usually remain with the fruit at harvest. The results of two replicated field studies conducted in 2007 and 2008 at Charleston, SC, indicate that the fruit and yield characteristics of 'Truhart-NR' are superior to those of 'Truhart Perfection'. Over the 2-year period, 'Truhart-NR' yielded an average of 16.7% more marketable fruit than did 'Truhart Perfection'.'Truhart-NR' fruit were also 6.9% heavier, 6.2% longer, and exhibited 4.3% thicker fruit walls.

Pedigree
Date released:
20 Oct 2009
Description:
'Truhart-NR' is the product of a backcross breeding program to incorporate the dominant southern root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne spp.) resistance gene (N) into the classical pimento-type "Perfection" genetic background. The donor parent of the N resistance gene was 'Mississippi Nemaheart' and the recurrent parent was 'Truhart Perfection'. 'Truhart Perfection' is highly susceptible to root-knot nematodes. 'Truhart-NR' was derived from a single BC2F3 plant. Note: The donor parent ('Mississippi Nemaheart') of the N gene was itself the product of a backcross breeding procedure (10 backcrosses) that used 'Truhart Perfection' as the recurrent parent
