Tomato Breeding

Greenhouse and open-field tomatoes

The breeding program and the production of tomato seeds in Bita Gene Gostar Jam Company started in 2021.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​most important tomato breeding objectives are: creating greenhouse tomato cultivars with unlimited growth, creating outdoor tomato cultivars for fresh eating and processing, creating olive and cherry tomato cultivars for greenhouse and field cultivation, yielding The top of the fruit, the different shapes of the fruit including wide (flat), round, oval and blocky, durability and firmness of the top of the fruit, tolerance to non-biotic stress such as temperature and salinity stress, tolerance to biotic stress such as fungal and viral diseases. The most essential tomato viral diseases in Iran are TYLCV, TMV, ToMV, and TSWV and the most important fungal infections are Damping off, early blight, late blight and Botrytis.

Cucumber Breeding

Greenhouse and open-field cucumber

Another breeding goal of Bita Gene Gostar Jam Company is the production of greenhouse and open-field cucumber hybrid varieties with characteristics suitable for domestic and foreign markets. The production of short (mini), semi-long and long cucumber varieties with shiny green fruit color, the presence, and absence of grooves on the fruit skin with high performance and shelf life are among these features. Another breeding target of cucumber cultivars is the production of cucumber cultivars suitable for the length of short and long days with different numbers of flowers in each nod (1 to 2 flowers in each nod and more than 2 flowers in each nod) with a variety of spine in order to export and attracting foreign markets. Resistance to the most important viral and fungal diseases, including Cucumber Mosaic Virus (CMV), Cucumber Vein Yellowing Virus (CVYV), Cucurbit yellow stunting disorder (CYSDV), Papaya ringspot (PRSV), Watermelon Mosaic Virus (WMV), Zucchini yellows (ZYMV), powdery white (PM), Downy mildew (DM) and Scab (CCU) are among the other breeding targets of Beta Gene Gostar Jam Company.​​​​​​​

Pepper Breeding

Greenhouse and field bell peppers

In the multi-species pepper section, all kinds of bell peppers, shamshiri, Hungarian, jalapeno and paprika with hot and sweet flavors in green, phosphor green, red, yellow and orange colors were targeted for fresh eating and processing. Among the types of bell peppers, early, high-yielding and disease-resistant cultivars with long shelf life are targeted for export in green, red, yellow, and orange colors. The considered cultivars are selected to adapt to the conditions of greenhouses and standard pepper farms to create more advantage and added value for the farmer and exporter by tolerating common biotic and abiotic stresses. The most important fungal diseases of pepper, which are targeted in the selection of resistance and tolerance types, are so-called surface powdery mildew and plant death types, and for common viral diseases, the transfer of resistance genes to CMV, TMV, TSWV and PepRSV in the interbreeding program is placed.
