Can a tomato seed grow into a pepper?
Last year we had trouble finding my favorite tomato seeds which was
the "Burpee Forth of July" hybrid. After eventually finding one pack we had our usual tomato crop which was great and throughout the season we saved our own seeds out of a few of these tomatos. Also in the garden we had several pepper plants. This year I plant my own saved seeds from last year. Now I have 18 nice plants, but 3 of them have pepper shaped leaves, the rest are normal and no I did not get pepper seeds mixed into the tomatos. I'm real curious what these will turn into. Is it possible a pepper and tomato can crossbreed? |

If "Burpee Fourth of July" is a hybrid then saving seeds from it won't give you true offspring. See Point 1 in: http://plantanswers.tamu.edu/vegetables/seed.html |

Is it possible a pepper and tomato can crossbreed? No. It's not possible. Two different genera. No ... Hmmm ... I wonder. I had "Sweet Cherry 100" tomatoes growing next to "Banana Peppers" last year from direct seed in the ground. One of the pepper plants had a mix - half of the peppers were traditional long yellow peppers and the other half was small round red peppers on the same plant. It was a cool looking plant. It was a busy summer, I should have taken a picture. They looked just like round red cherry tomatoes and tasted just like a sweet banana pepper. It was a new food item? The answer in my book is yes to cross pollination. In this world, evolution can take many shapes and forms including crossbreeding, in plants, in humans, in animals and diseases (like swine, bird and human) influenza.

Quote from the film Jurassic Park "Nature Will Find A Way". Enjoy Life ... Dan When there is SUCCESSFUL cross-pollination, the seeds might produce plants that are a hybrid between the two parents. But the fruit containing those seeds is true to the parent on which that fruit grows. For example, you can't get a tangelo growing on a grapefruit tree that was pollinated by a tangerine. Instead, you get a grapefruit whose seeds might produce a tangelo tree. -- David E. Ross http://www.rossde.com/. Don't ask "Why is there road rage?"

Is it possible a pepper and tomato can crossbreed? No, Science says this is not possible, at least as we know it today. Last year I had planted a big patch of banana peppers in close proximity to a few jalopeno plants. The banana peppers were supposed to be sweet but they were nearly as hot as the jalopenos. Now if someone could grow a tomato hot pepper combo, with a bit of garlic, onion, and cilantro flavor thrown in for good measure they would have the perfect all in one salsa tomato. |

It is very unlikely to occur naturally, but with man's help, yes. Genera need to share the same chromosome number. See www.arhomeandgarden.org/plant of the week/articles/Heucherella.htm Emilie |
