Was just wondering if anyone else on here has ever cross breed a vegetable plant besides me. I have been working on past 3 years of cross breeding a big birth bell pepper plant with a habanero pepper plant. I now have a bell pepper plant that produces big bell peppers, the size you buy in the grocery stores, that has the heat of a hot pepper!!!!! They are great for salsa, chili and a variety of other things. I love my hot peppers and normaly eat around 20 or more hot peppers per sandwhich!!! The hotter the better and yes I have a cast iron stomach when it comes to eating hot peppers!!! I am wanting to eventually sell my seeds for my hot bell pepper but that is still away down the road. For now I just have my family and neighbors and friends bugging the hell out of me for my seeds!!!
i remember reading about some farmers using a virus to infect a tobacco plant with firefly RNA sequence so it could glow. or using that same process to infect crops with some animal genes to increase cold resistance? i dont have the know-how or equipment but i have some ideas of bad ass combinations.
cross breeding is more forced plant sex (crossing pollen and such) and less cross species experimentation.
yes that is true but I have had great luck with cross breeding a bell pepper plant with a habanero pepper plant. I now have big bell pepper plant with the heat of a hot pepper!
I love my spicy food also!!! and said has taken me 3 years of cross breeding to come up with my bell pepper that has the heat of hot pepper plant. Just about have it where I want it to get too and when I do will see about how to sell my seeds if I can patent them. I have worked to hard on my bell peppers to just give them away. But I love them the heat they put out. They will make you sweat!!!!
