Abstract

This invention is a new and distinct grapevine variety denominated ‘IFG 68-175’. ‘IFG 68-175’ is characterized by producing large bright red, crisp, uniform berries with high sugar content borne on medium size clusters. The fruit ripen and are commercially harvestable from late August to mid-September. Berries color fully even under adverse conditions and do not darken excessively throughout the harvestable period.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: Vitis vinifera.
Variety denomination: ‘IFG 68-175’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The new and distinct grapevine described and claimed herein originated from a hand pollinated cross of the Redglobe variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,787 expired) and the Princess variety (non-patented) performed in May 2001. The seeds were subsequently germinated and the resulting plants were planted in the field in April 2002. The present variety of grapevine was selected as a single plant in August 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. Further, the variety was asexually reproduced at a research facility near Delano, Kern County, Calif.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new grapevine ‘IFG 68-175’ is characterized by producing naturally large, round to oval red seedless berries which ripen in mid-season near the end of the Flame Seedless variety and before the Crimson variety. Berries have crisp texture, excellent eating quality and are able to develop bright red skin color more readily that existing commercial varieties. It does not require extensive leaf removal or ethrel applications to color properly. The desirable bright red skin color does not darken significantly as sugar levels increase.
To the inventor's knowledge, the known varieties to which the new grapevine variety is most similar are the Sheegene-6 variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 19,041), the Sheegene-1 and the 90-3618 variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 17,211). ‘IFG 68-175’ can be distinguished from the Sheegene-6 variety by ripening later (late August to early September as opposed to late July to early August for Sheegene-6), by having a more crisp flesh texture and somewhat smaller cluster size. ‘IFG 68-175’ has a V shaped petiolar sinus while Sheegene-6 has a U shaped petiolar sinus. The ‘IFG 68-175’ variety can be distinguished from the Sheegene-1 variety by ripening somewhat earlier (late August as opposed to mid September for Sheegene-1). ‘IFG 68-175’ has a more round berry shape than Sheegene-1 and it has a more firm, crisp texture. The ‘IFG 68-175’ variety can be distinguished from the ‘90-3618’ variety by having a brighter, more desirable red color as opposed to a darker purple red color described for ‘90-3618’. ‘IFG 68-175’ has a V shaped petiolar sinus while ‘90-3618’ has a U shaped petiolar sinus. Average berry weight of ‘IFG 68-175’ is somewhat smaller than ‘90-3618’. The new variety ‘IFG 68-175’ thus distinguishes itself from other grape varieties based on a 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. ‘IFG 68-175’ can further be distinguished based on the characteristics described below.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The accompanying photographic illustration in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color ‘IFG 68-175’. The photograph was taken outdoors with indirect lighting. 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 The 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).
