 ABSTRACT

Genetic investigation has taken up identify maintainer and stable restorer lines Chilli pepper involving 45 diverse germplasm lines. In the study three cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) lines  namely CCA-4261, CCA-4916 and CCA-4917 wiht100% sterility has been identified by examining the pollen fertility.126 test hybrids were generated by  involving rest of 42 lines and three CMS lines . Based on the restoration of fertility in test hybrids32 were lines identified as stable fertility restorers and four lines PBC-534, PBC-385, PBC-362 and PBC-292 as sterility maintainers.

Key words: CMS, restorers, maintainers, pollen
