Abstract

A new and distinct Chrysanthemum plant cultivar characterized by a daisy type inflorescence, a consistent flowering response to short days, blooming consistently after 45 days of short day length, a free branching habit, a consistent natural season flowering habit during the first two weeks of September, and dark purple/red ray florets.

Description

LATIN NAME OF THE GENUS AND SPECIES OF THE PLANT CLAIMED
Chrysanthemum morifolium.
VARIETY DENOMINATION
‘MOZA RT 01’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant, herein after referred to by the cultivar name ‘MOZA RT 01.’
The new cultivar is a product of induced mutation by radiation. The new cultivar originated by exposing an entire plant of the Chrysanthemum cultivar ‘MZT TMP8’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,866) to radiation. This cultivar was discovered and selected by the inventor in November 1998.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by apical tip cutting and meristem tissue culture was performed in Oxnard, Calif. and has shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type on successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar ‘MOZA RT 0l’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength, and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘MOZA RT 01.’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘MOZA RT 01’ as a new and distinct Chrysanthemum cultivar:
1. Daisy type inflorescence;
2. Consistent flowering response to short days, blooming consistently after 45 days of short day length;
3. Free branching habit;
4. Consistent natural season flowering habit during the first two weeks of September; and
5. Dark purple/red ray florets.
Plants of the new cultivar are similar to plants of the parent cultivar, ‘MZT TMP8’ in most horticultural characteristics, however plants of the new cultivar differed from plants of the cultivar ‘MZT TMP8’ primarily in ray floret color, number of ray florets, and number of disc florets. The new cultivar ‘MOZA RT 01’ has darker, more reddish purple ray florets than the parent cultivar. The new cultivar has fewer ray florets than the parent cultivar, with an average of 80 florets compared to the parent's 110 florets, in similar cultural conditions. The new cultivar also has more disc florets than the parent.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The photograph shows a plant of the new cultivar which was grown in a 2-gallon container. A single cutting was grown in the container, and the plant was grown in outdoor field conditions.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe approximately 75 day old plants grown in a commercial field in Oxnard, Calif. during the month of September 2000. The plants were grown from a rooted cutting given one pinch after 10 days from planting. There was no spray or disbud treatment given. The growing temperature ranged from 60° to 65° F. at night to 70° to 85° F. during the day. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical flowering types.
Botanical classification: Chrysanthemum morifolium cultivar ‘MOZA RT 01’.
Commercial classification: Garden-type Chrysanthemum.
Parentage: Induced mutation of Chrysanthemum morifolium cultivar ‘MZT TMP8’.
Comparison to siblings: The results of the mutation were found to be random, with most siblings producing ray florets of similar color to the parent variety. Additionally, blooming response varied in the sibling population from 45 days to 55 days. Many siblings produced were shorter than the selected new variety. MOZA RT 01 was the only prodigy producing reddish ray florets with a 45 day blooming response of consistent size, as described herein.
Comparison Variety: GEDI RT U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,236.
The new variety differs from GEDI RT in having more ray florets, more disc florets and an earlier natural season blooming response.
