Abstract
Disclosed herein is a petunia plant, having a deeumbent habit plant having long stems. The petunia plant has over-abundant branching, particularly secondary branching is strong, and great profusion blooms, the whole bush remaining in bloom for a considerable period of time. The flowers are single and very small, the petals having a vivid reddish purple color, and the bottom color of the corolla throat is bright greenish yellow and the outside color of corolla tube is pale yellow green. The plant has a high resistance to rain, heat, drought and pest.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of petunia plant obtained from the crossing of one petunia plant (♀), which was selected from a crossing a wild type of petunia plant called "A1" (♀) native to Brazil and the other wild type of petunia plant called "B3" (♂), and the wild type of petunia plant called "B3" (♂).
The petunia is a very popular plant and is used for flower bedding and potting in the summer season. There are only a few varieties of the petunia plant which do not have an upright growth habit and which have a high resistance to rain, heat, cold, and diseases. The petunia which we previously filed, i.e., the "Revolution" series (Revolution Purplepink(U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,915), Revolution Brilliantpink (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,914), Revolution Brilliantpink-mini (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,899)! is decumbent type plant having long stems, a lower plant height, abundant branching, and a high resistance to heat, cold and rain. However, there are only a few varieties having a great profusion of flowers, vlvld reddish purple color color and very small flower and a high resistance to rain, heat, cold and diseases. Accordingly, this invention was aimed at obtaining a new variety having a vivid reddish purple color and very small flower, together with the above features.
The new variety of petunia plant according to thls invention originated from crossing one petunia plant (♀), which was selected from a crossing a wild type of petunia plant called "A1" (♀) native to Brazil and the other wild type of petunia plant called "B3" (♂), and the wild type of petunia plant called "B3" (♂).
First of all, 250 seedling were obtained from crossing a wild type of petunia plant called "A1" native to Brazil as female parent and the other wild type of petunia plant called "B3" as pollen parent in May, 1992. From this crosslng 5 seedlings were selected In view of decumbent habit and flower color. And then 300 seedlings were obtained from a crossing of these selected 5 seedlings as female parent and the other wild type of petunia plant called "B2" as pollen parent in January, 1993. These 300 seedling were grown and 10 seedlings were selected from these. These selected 10 seedlings were carried out a trial by flower potting and bedding, and then the 2 plant selected in summer, 1993. The botanically characteristics of the finally-selected 2 plants were then examined, using similar variety "Pearl Sky Blue" for comparison, from summer, 1993 to autumn, 1994. Finally the only one petunia plant was selected in October, 1995. As a result, it was concluded that this petunia is distinguishable from any other variety, whose existence is known to us, sufficiently uniform and stable in its characteristics, then this new variety of petunia plant was named "Sunbelkupi".
In the following description, the color-coding is in accordance with The Horticultural Color Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England (R.H.S. Color Chart), and the Inter-Society color Council-Nation Bureau of Standard Color Name (I.S.C.C.-N.B.S. Color Name). A color chart based on The Japan Color Standard for Horticultural Plant (J.H.S. Color Chart) is also added for reference.
The female parent use in the crossing of "Sunbelkupi" was a wild type of petunia plant called "A1" (♂) native to Brazil, the seeds of which were gathered at Gramado, Rio Grande Do Sul, Brazil and introduced to Japan in December, 1989. The petunia plant "A1" having a decumbent habit plant having long stems, an over-abundant branching, great profusion blooms, flowers are single and small, the petals having a reddish purple color, leaf shape is elliptic, and a high resistance to rain, heat, drought and pest.
The pollen parent use in the crossing of "Sunbelkupi" was other wild type of petunia plant called "B3" (♂) native to Brazil, the seeds of which were gathered at Gramado, Rio. Grande Do Sul, Brazil and introduced to Japan in December, 1992. The petunia plant "B2" having a decumbent habit plant having long stems, an over-abundant branching, great profusion blooms, flowers are single and small, the petals having a reddish purple, leaf shape is lanceolate, and a high resistance to rain, heat, drought and pest. These wild type of petunia plants "A1" and "B3" are presently maintained at the Plant Biotechnology Laboratory of SUNTORY Ltd., residing at 863-1, Aza-Iketani, Oomori-cho, Youkaiti-shi, Shiga-ken, Japan.
The similar variety "Pearl Sky Blue" used for examination as a comparison are as follows.
