Abstract

Malus domestica Borkh ‘Gala Perathoner’ variety is distinguished from the original mother plant ‘Mitchgla’ cultivar and other Gala varieties by a unique combination of characteristics including intense striped red over-colour that covers 95 to 100% of the fruit surface with two types of stripes being evident: light and dark red stripes that are partially overlapped creating an original attractive pattern, and prominent lenticels.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species: The Latin name of the genus and species of the plant variety disclosed herein is Malus domestica Borkh.
Variety denomination: The inventive cultivar of Malus domestica Borkh disclosed herein has been given the varietal denomination ‘Gala Perathoner’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct Gala variety of apple trees named ‘Gala Perathoner’. The new variety was discovered as a sport limb mutation on a Gala plant cultivar ‘Mitchgla’ (not patented), in a cultivated field in Ora area, Bolzano province, Italy. The mutated branch was identified some days before picking time and noticed because of the darker red-striped coloration of the fruits compared to the other fruits on the plant (FIG. 1).
The mutation was first asexually propagated in Spring 2003 and 15 trees were initially grown. The new variety ‘Gala Perathoner’ was first asexually reproduced by chip budding on M9 rootstocks of bud wood by one year old lateral branch of the mutated part of the mother ‘Mitchgla’ tree. The first asexually reproduced trees were located in Verona Province in an isolated apple trial field in “Gazzo Veronese” locality, managed by the applicant. The first observed fruiting of the propagated trees occurred in the 2005 season and confirmed the intensity of the fruit stripe red coloration and the stability of the mutation.
In the next years, many other trees have been asexually propagated, planted and evaluated in other locations in Bolzano province and Verona province. All the trees of ‘Gala Perathoner’ have been observed to remain true to type over successive asexually propagated generations and maintain the intensity of their characteristic stripe-red colour (FIG. 4).
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new variety ‘Gala Perathoner’ is distinguished from the original mother plant ‘Mitchgla’ cultivar and other Gala varieties by the following unique combination of characteristics: intense striped red over-colour that covers 95 to 100% of the fruit surface; two types of stripes that are evident: light and dark red stripes that are partially overlapped creating an original attractive pattern; and lenticels that are prominent.
In particular, the new variety can be distinguished from ‘Mitchgla’ in that the apples of ‘Mitchgla’, at ripening time, were partially red stripe over colored with evident larger stripes and less pronounced lenticels than ‘Gala Perathoner’, and the over color of ‘Mitchgla’ apple covered 50% of the apple surface with a light red color (Red RHS50A) compared to the dark striped over-color (RHS 53A) of ‘Gala Perathoner’, which covers more than 95% of the apple surface. The new variety can be distinguished from the ‘Galaval’ cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 19,909) by the evidence of stripes in ‘Gala Perathoner’ fruits and by a lighter red fruit colour (RHS 53A) compared to dark purple colour (RHS 59A) of ‘Galaval’ fruits.
The new variety can be distinguished from the ‘Simmons Gala’ cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,840) by the higher number and intensity of stripes of ‘Gala Perathoner’ fruits. In contrast to ‘Simmons Gala’, two colours of stripes can be identified in ‘Gala Perathoner’ fruits, light stripes (RHS 45A) and dark stripes (RHS 53A). The appearance of ‘Gala Perathoner’ fruit is less bright but with a darker red coloration than ‘Simmons Gala’ fruit (RHS 46A).
The new variety can be distinguished from the ‘Burkitt Gala’ cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 17,013) by the pattern of the fruit stripes and the darker coloured stripes of ‘Gala Perathoner’ fruit. Dark and light red stripes are alternated on 95-100% of the fruit skin of ‘Gala Perathoner’ and no or very few stripes show the yellow ground colour, while more yellow stripes are evident on ‘Burkitt Gala’ fruits. The lenticels are more evident on ‘Gala Perathoner’ fruit than ‘Burkitt Gala’ fruits.
The new variety can be distinguished from the ‘Baigent’ cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,016) by the finer stripes, the darker red over colour and the higher over colour coverage of ‘Gala Perathoner’ fruits.
The new variety can be distinguished from the ‘Banning Gala’ cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,753) by the more evident stripes and darker red over colour of ‘Gala Perathoner’ fruits.
Asexual reproduction of this new variety by grafting and budding onto rootstock shows that the foregoing and all other characteristics and distinctions remain true to form over successive asexually propagated generations.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The colours of these illustrations may vary with lighting conditions and, therefore, colour characteristics of this new variety should be determined with reference to the observations described herein, rather than from these illustrations alone.
FIG. 1 illustrates the original mutated branch of Gala plant from which ‘Gala Perathoner’ has been identified and generated. The apples attached on the mutated branch are stripe-red coloured compared to the other apples on the trees.
FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 illustrate 3 year old ‘Gala Perathoner’ trees of second generation with fruits at picking time.
FIGS. 4-6 illustrate a ‘Gala Perathoner’ apple after harvesting. FIG. 4, profile; FIG. 5, calix eye; FIG. 6, stalk cavity.
FIG. 7 illustrates the flesh of ‘Gala Perathoner’ on the equatorial section and the seeds.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The following detailed description of the ‘Gala Perathoner’ variety is based on observations made during the 2012 growing season in a high density ‘Gala Perathoner’ planting field in Ora area, Bolzano Province (Italy).
Certain characteristics of this variety may change with changing environmental conditions (e.g., light, temperature, moisture), nutrient availability, or other factors. Quantified measurements are expressed as an average of measurements taken from a number of individual plants of the new variety. The measurements of any individual plant, or any group of plants, of the new variety may vary from the stated average. Colour descriptions and other terminology are used in accordance with their ordinary dictionary descriptions, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Colour designations are made with reference to The Royal Horticultural Society (R.H.S.) Colour Chart.
