Narrative
PA-560 has a compact plant habit and produces campanulate (a flattened bell or lantern-type shape), yellow-colored fruit. The period from transplanting to first harvest of mature fruits is 77 to 86 days at Charleston, S.C. The fruits are attached to the pedicel in a pendant manner (typically two fruit per cluster); the pedicles are short, curved, and slender. The fruits are non-deciduous, i.e., the pedicel and calyx usually remain on the fruit at harvest. A typical PA-560 fruit weights ~7.6 to 8.0 g, is 3.37 cm wide, 4.43 cm long, and has a thin wall (1.43 mm). The color of immature fruit is a glossy, dark green; the color of harvest-stage fruit is a glossy, bright yellow. The fruits are extremely pungent (326,710 Scoville heat units), and a typical fruit has three locules. The yield of PA-560 is comparable to that of traditional Habanero-type cultigens. PA-560 is homozygous for a dominant gene that conditions a high level of resistance to southern root-knot nematodes. The resistance exhibited by PA-560 is equal to that exhibited by the donor of the resistance gene, the Scotch Bonnet-type germplasm line PA-426.

Pedigree
Date released:
20 Oct 2009
Description:
PA-560 (a yellow-fruited, Habanero-type pepper) is the product of a backcross/pedigree breeding program to transfer the dominant root-knot nematode [Meloidogyne incognita (Chitwood) Kofoid and White] resistance gene from a Scotch Bonnet-type accession into classical Habanero-type backgrounds. The donor parent was PA-426 and the recurrent parent was PA-350. PA-426 is a southern root-knot nematode resistant, Scotch Bonnet-type germplasm line that was released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 1997. PA-350, susceptible to root-knot nematodes, is a classical, Habanero-type cultigen originally obtained from an heirloom collector. PA-560 was derived from a single F3 (BC4F3 x BC4F3) plant grown in 2005. Both of the parental lines used in the last cross are sib lines of the orange-fruited, southern root-knot nematode-resistant cultivar TigerPaw-NR that was released by the USDA in 2006
