Interspecific hybridization and embryo rescue in Capsicum Chilli belongs to the genus Capsicum, which is among the world's extensively grown spice crops. India ranks first with an average yield of 1.6 mt ha-1 from the total cultivated area of 7.67 lakhs ha. In Meghalaya, it is the third most important spice crops after ginger and turmeric with an area of 1900 hectares and a production of 2300 tones. However, diseases namely, Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV), root rot, Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus (TSWV), etc. leads to a considerable decline in yield. It is therefore necessary to transfer the important genes for various characters from one species to another. But there has been very little success due to problems in crossability. According to Shoemaker [4], in Capsicum annuum x C. frutescens, in general about two per cent seeds were viable when C. frutescens was used as the female parent. The F 1 plants ranged from completely pollen sterile to pollen fertile.
