Abstract

Disclosed herein is new Viola cornuta plant named ‘Sunvioki’, which is a vegetative propagated variety, developed by specific hybridization between ‘9V-39a’ and ‘Alpine Sun’. ‘Sunvioki’ has a spreading habit with very long stem. The plant height is low. The branching is abundant. Flowers are vertically oblong and very small. The color of flower is brilliant greenish yellow with vivid yellow eye. The plant has a high resistance to cold, pests and diseases.

Description

Botanical/commercial classification: Viola cornuta/Viola Plant.
Varietal denomination: cv. ‘Sunvioki’.
BACKGROUND OF THE VARIETY
The genus of Viola is included in the family Violaceae, and has about 500 species of annuals, biennials, evergreen, and semi-evergreen and deciduous perennials found in varied habitats in temperature regions worldwide.
Each flower has 5 petals: a spurred lower petal, 2 lateral petals and 2 upward-facing upper petals.
Many cultivars within the genus are informally referred to as garden pansies. Violas are all derived from the complex hybridization of V.tricolour, V.lutea, V.cornuta, and other species.
Viola cornuta has played an important role in the development of garden violas and violettas as a result of cross breeding with the garden pansy, V. wittorockiana.
Viola cornuta is stem prostrate. Leaves are narrow to broad ovate, base cordate to truncate, margin deeply segmented.
The female parent used in the crossing for obtaining ‘Sunvioki’ was ‘9V-39a’ (not patented in the United States.
The pollen parent used in the crossing for obtaining of ‘Sunvioki’ is a commercial cultivar, ‘Alpine Sun’.
BREEDING PROCESS
Crossing between ‘9V-39a’ as female parent and ‘Alpine Sun’ as male parent was conducted in Shiga-ken, Japan, in April 2000. In May, seeds were obtained from the crossing. In August, three seedlings were selected in view of having highly spreading habit with yellow petals, and were propagated by cutting. A trial was carried out for those seedlings by flower potting and bedding from October 2001. One variety was selected in view of having long blooming time. The botanical characteristics of that plant were then examined, using similar varieties ‘Alpine Spring’ and ‘Violetto Lune’ for comparison. As a result, it was concluded that this Viola cornuta plant is distinguishable from any other variety, whose existence is known to us, and uniform and stable in its characteristics. Thenew variety of Viola cornuta plant was named ‘Sunvioki’.
This new and distinct variety of Viola cornuta plant, ‘Sunvioki’, was asexually reproduced by tissue culture and the homogeneity and stability thereof were confirmed. The new variety reproduces true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
Viola cornuta plants, ‘9V-39a’ and ‘Alpine Sun’ are presently maintained at Shiga-ken, Japan.
