Abstract

A new and distinct variety of grapevine characterized by the production of medium, green-colored seedless grapes that mature in early September when grown in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California. The grapes of this new variety are produced on strong woody stems and branches and are well adapted to commercial handling.

Description

Latin name of the genius and species of the plant claimed: The claimed plant relates to a new and distinct variety of Vitis vinifera to be known as ‘Sheegene-18’.
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
The claimed plant is not subject of a related application.
STATEMENT OF ANY FEDERALLY-SPONSORED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The claimed plant is not subject of Federally-sponsored research or development.
VARIETY DENOMINATION
The new variety of Vitis vinifera is the result of hybridization of ‘Princess’ (unpatented), the pollen parent, and ‘Red Globe’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,787), the seed parent. The new variety was first hybridized by Timothy P. Sheehan in the Spring of 2000. The new variety was asexually propagated in the dormant season of 2003, grafted on virus-free rootstock in a Vitis vinifera variety block located near East of Fowler, Calif. The new variety was planted as rooted cuttings in the dormant season of 2007 in a Vitis vinifera variety block located north and west of Delano, Calif. The new variety produces a medium, green-colored seedless grape with very good flavor. The new variety has been shown to maintain its distinguishing characteristics through asexual propagation.
The new variety is distinguished from its pollen parent, ‘Princess’ (unpatented), in that the new variety produces green-colored seedless grapes, as compared to the white-colored seedless grapes produced by its pollen parent, ‘Princess’ (unpatented). The new variety is distinguished from its seed parent, ‘Red Globe’(U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,787), in that the new variety produces medium sized green-colored seedless grapes, as, compared to its seed parent, ‘Red Globe’(U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,787), that produces exceptionally large red-colored seeded grapes.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of grapevine that produces a medium, green-colored seedless grape that matures during early September when grown in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The ‘Sheegene-18’ grapevine is characterized by producing a medium, green-colored seedless grape that has very good flavor and it is productive and mature for harvesting and shipment in early September when grown in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California. The new variety can be compared to ‘Thompson Seedless’ (unpatented) but the grapes produced by the new variety mature four to five weeks later, among other distinguishing characteristics.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The accompanying drawing is a color photograph that shows several mature leaves across the top portion of the photograph with an immature leaf in the middle, just below the leaves are two small clusters of mature grapes and one large cluster of mature grapes, just below the clusters of grapes are several grapes cut longitudinally and horizontally displaying the heart and pulp, just below the cut grapes are tendril leaves, and on both sides of the photograph are mature branches with one immature branch located on the left side of the photograph.
