Ornamental Evaluation of Pepper Germplasm Resources
In order to select excellent ornamental pepper germplasm resources and good breeding parents,and im-prove the breeding efficiency of ornamental pepper,94 ornamental pepper germplasm resources collected at home and abroad were taken as experimental materials,and the ornamental pepper germplasm resources were evaluated by analytic hierarchy process(AHP).The good germplasm resources with high ornamental value were screened out.The results showed that the constraint layer of the ornamental pepper germplasm resources had the largest weight in the constraint layer,and the fruit type index layer had the largest weight in the index layer.Finally,the germ-plasm materials with the highest ornamental value GS54,GS74 and GS83 were screened out and their comprehen-sive evaluation grade reached Ⅰ.The results of this study provided a theoretical basis for the application of superi-or gene resources and the improvement of breeding parents of ornamental pepper.
