Figure 1

Air temperatures in the greenhouse during the high-temperature period for screening (A) and the moderate-temperature period (B). Air temperature during confirmation survey in the incubator (C). The line graph and the left Y-axis represent air temperature in the greenhouse. Red, green, and blue lines and circle, triangle, and square points mean highest, average, and lowest temperature on the day, respectively. Bars represent number of hours with temperature above 35 °C

Figure 2

Correlation analysis between traits of C. annuum cultivars grown in the greenhouse under high-temperature conditions (A) and moderate-temperature conditions (B). The numbers in the figure show the correlation coefficient (r value) between two traits. Red and blue colors indicate positive and negative correlations, respectively. The deeper the color, the larger the absolute value of the correlation coefficient. The asterisks indicate significant correlations (p < 0.05). Trait observed: FS – fruit set; PG – pollen germination; PV – pollen viability; PN – pollen number; AL – anther length; SL – style length; AS – anthesis stage

Figure 4

Germination of pollen of plants grown in the high-temperature incubator (A). Incubation temperatures were 25 °C, 30 °C, 35 °C, and 40 °C. The asterisks indicate 5% level of significance obtained with t-test. (B), (C), (D), and (E) show pollen tube elongations in the pistils of ‘Takanotsume’ pollinated by ‘Takanotsume’ (B) and ‘Takanotsume’ pollinated by ‘Murasaki’ (C). Pollen tube elongations in the pistils of ‘Murasaki’ pollinated by ‘Takanotsume’ (D) and ‘Murasaki’ pollinated by ‘Murasaki’ (E). Scale bars are 1 mm in (B) and (C), and 500 μm in (D) and (E)
