"Soft flesh" chile peppers

bunicutz32 · December 2, 2011

Hy everybody.

I am looking for chile peppers varieties having the " soft flesh" character, for a student project about expression and inheritance of this trait in Capsicum annuum. I was looking around about it and found almost no information. I know tabasco has soft flesh but I am mostly interested in C.annuum. So any reference to particular soft fleshed peppers and any piece of information is welcome.
Thanks,

Adrian

Thanks.
I know some frutescens have this rare trait. In case I will find no annuums, most probably I will try to introgress this character by crossing. I had some years ago an annuum accession from German genebank but I paid no attention at that time and I can't remember which variety it was. So, still hope to find some suitable annuum.

Fish peppers are softer than Tabasco when fully red here.
