Abstract

This invention is a new and distinctive grapevine ‘IFG 104-253’. ‘IFG 104-253’ produces naturally large, elongated white seedless berries that require little or no exogenous application of gibberellic acid to obtain commercially acceptable berry size which ripen in mid-season.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: Vitis vinifera.
Variety denomination: ‘IFG 104-253’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The new and distinct grapevine described and claimed herein originated from a hand pollinated cross of the Princess variety (non-patented) and the Regal variety (South African PBR ZA971795) hybridized in May 2001. The abortive seed traces were subsequently embryo cultured and the resulting plant was planted in the field in April 2002. The present variety of grapevine was selected as a single plant in July 2003 and was first asexually propagated by hardwood cuttings in December 2003. The resulting propagules were planted during April 2004 near Delano, Kern County, Calif. and were found to reproduce true-to-type through at least three generations of asexual reproduction.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new grapevine ‘IFG 104-253’ is characterized by producing naturally large, elongated white seedless berries that require little or no exogenous application of gibberellic acid to obtain commercially acceptable berry size which ripen in mid-season.
To the inventor's knowledge, the known varieties to which the new grapevine variety is most similar are the parent varieties and the Sugraone variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,106) and the Sugratwelve (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,298) variety. ‘IFG 104-253’ can be distinguished from these varieties based on unique combination of characteristics, which include naturally large crisp, very uniform berries with both high visual attractiveness and high eating quality combined with viticultural characteristics that reduce growing costs compared to existing varieties. ‘IFG 104-253’ can further be distinguished based on the characteristics described below.
The new grapevine variety can be distinguished from its parent the Princess variety by having narrower, more elongated berries which are more uniform and less variable in size and shape. The new variety exhibits a much lower tendency to excessively yellow than the Princess variety when exposed to direct sunlight. The new variety exhibits no internal browning during storage which plagues the Princess variety. The new variety is less vigorous and more productive than the princess variety and does not exhibit reduced fruitfulness under low light conditions created by a heavy canopy of foliage. The new variety does not produce and muscat flavor when fully ripe as compared to the Princess variety which exhibits a mild muscat flavor when fully ripe.
‘IFG 104-253’ most closely resembles its parent variety the Regal Seedless in having a similar color and general shape. The new variety differs from the Regal Seedless by having a slightly more elongated berry shape, by having a slightly more waxy bloom giving it a more desirable and slightly less shiny appearance. It further differs from the Regal variety by having a more desirable broad shouldered conical cluster shape as opposed to the narrower more elongated cluster shape of the Regal variety. The new variety does not exhibit an astringent taste which sometimes plagues the Regal variety. The new variety has a more desirable crisp texture and superior eating quality as compared to the Regal variety. The new variety does not exhibit any internal browning during storage which plagues its parent the Regal variety. The new variety differs from the Regal variety by ripening five or more days before the Regal variety. The new variety has naturally loose clusters requiring less laborious hand or chemical thinning. The new variety requires little or no gibberellic application to attain commercially acceptable berry size compared to the Regal variety and the new variety exhibits less subsequent crop reduction if gibberellic acid is applied as compared with the Regal variety.
‘IFG 104-253’ differs from the Sugraone variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,106 expired) by ripening later and having more uniform and more elongated berries. The new variety produced heavily when pruned to two bud spurs as opposed to the Sugraone variety which required more costly pruning to long canes.
‘IFG 104-253’ differs from the Sugratwelve (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,298) by ripening after the Sugratwelve variety and by producing heavily when pruned to two bud spurs as opposed to the Sugratwelve variety which required more costly pruning to long can.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The accompanying photographic illustration in FIG. 1 illustrates ‘IFG 104-253’. The photograph was taken using conventional techniques. The colors are as nearly true as is reasonably possible in a color representation of this type.
 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Throughout this specification, color names beginning with a small letter signify that the name of that color, as used in common speech, is aptly descriptive. Color names beginning with a capital letter designate values based upon R.H.S. Colour Chart, published by The Royal Horitcultural Society, London, England.
Throughout this specification subjective description values conform to those set forth by the International Plant Genetic Resources Institute publication ‘Descriptors for Grape’ (Vitis spp.) (1983) which was developed in collaboration with the Office International de la Vigne et du Vin (OIV) and the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV).
