Four parental cultivars originating from two pepper subspecies: Capsicum annuum L. ssp. macrocarpum (varieties grossum and longum) and ssp. microcarpum (varieties acuminatum and longum) were investigated. The genetical structure of the parental varieties was estimated from the values of five characters in F1 diallel hybrids, using VrWr regression analysis. The results indicated that macrocarpum varieties have predominantly dominant genes for number of fruits per plant. Microcarpum varieties contained mainly dominant genes for fruit weight. A source of dominant alleles for fruit length is ssp. microcarpum var. longum. Microcarpum varieties had mostly dominant alleles for fruit width. The variety grossum had the greatest number of recessive alleles for pericarp thickness, while the other varieties carried mostly dominant genes for this trait.
