Abstract

A new and distinct sweet orange clone, ‘OLL-4’ was produced via embryonic callus (tissue culture) from an original tree selection (‘OLL’) from an abandoned USDA field trial. ‘OLL-4’ produces easy-to-peel, round oranges with excellent internal and external color. Trees of ‘OLL-4’ exhibit improved cold and drought tolerance over industry standard oranges, and do not seem to exhibit alternate bearing.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: Citrus sinensis.
Variety denomination: ‘OLL-4’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of sweet orange tree named ‘OLL-4’. ‘OLL-4’ is a somaclone regenerated from embryogenic callus (tissue culture) of ‘OLL’ (‘Orie Lee Late’) sweet orange, with high-quality fruit that usually matures in the standard ‘Valencia’ time period. ‘OLL’ (unpatented) is believed to be an irradiation-induced mutant line originating from ‘Pineapple’ sweet orange in an abandoned USDA trial attempting to generate a seedless ‘Pineapple’ orange. ‘OLL’ attracted attention because it never dropped fruit, a serious problem with ‘Pineapple’, and held quality late into the summer. Propagations of ‘OLL’ were not uniform and included some trees of poor growth and productivity, as well as robust high-yielding trees. In efforts to generate genetically stable clones from the ‘OLL’ selection, tissue cultures (embryogenic callus) were established for the creation of somaclones. At present, ‘OLL-4’ has been the highest yielding somaclone, and is the only remaining somaclone showing no Huanglongbing (HLB) disease symptoms. Trees of ‘OLL-4’ sweet orange topworked onto HLB-infected root/scaffold trees (‘Swingle’ and ‘Carrizo’) are also growing off quite well, but it is too early to determine the actual level of HLB tolerance. Topworked trees demonstrated true-to-typeness, as well as new trees grafted to experimental rootstocks also planted at St. Cloud, Fla.
The first asexual reproduction of the claimed tree occurred in Lake Alfred, Fla., in which original trees of ‘Hamlin’ sweet orange grafted onto ‘Carrizo’ citrange rootstock were topworked with ‘OLL-4’ in spring of 2013. Those trees produced true-to-type ‘OLL-4’ fruit.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
‘OLL-4’ produces round oranges with internal and external color similar to that of ‘Rhode Red Valencia’ (Table 1). Fruit of ‘OLL-4’ holds on the tree exceptionally well, and maintains quality into the summer. Fruit of ‘OLL-4’, like all of the ‘OLL’ oranges, peel easier than ‘Valencia’, which, combined with the attractive external color, provides excellent crossover potential as fresh fruit, thereby expanding the available fresh orange portfolio for Florida. ‘OLL’ seedling trees (including ‘OLL-4’) have shown good drought tolerance in the greenhouse, as overgrown trees in small pots rarely wilt compared to other sweet orange seedlings. This apparent improved stress tolerance may be useful against HLB disease. Limited yield data is available, but the original tree of ‘OLL-4’ has been the highest yielding tree among the ‘OLL’ somaclones over the past 3 years, producing more than five 90-lb. boxes of fruit per year, with a maximum of 6.13 boxes in 2014 (Table 1). Trees on ‘Swingle’ citrumelo appear to yield more than standard ‘Valencia’. Production of lbs solids on ‘OLL-4’ is not the highest among the ‘OLL’ somaclones (Table 2), but has been as good as compared to traditional ‘Valencia’. ‘OLL’ oranges, including ‘OLL-4’, have not exhibited the undesirable low ratios associated with ‘Valencia’ during the past two seasons (Tables 2 and 3). Alternate bearing has not been an issue on ‘OLL-4’. Sensory (taste panel) analyses have indicated that ‘OLL-4’ has a favorable ‘Valencia’-like flavor profile (Table 3). Top-worked and grafted trees of ‘OLL-4’ on various rootstocks are growing off quite well.

 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
Phenotypic Description of Citrus sinensis ‘OLL-4’
The following detailed description sets forth the distinctive characteristics of ‘OLL-4’.

      • Fruit core.—Spongy white fruit core (155D white group), with diameters ranging from 8 to 13 mm.
  • Skin:
      • Adherence.—Adherence between albedo (mesocarp) and flesh (endocarp) is strong. The adherence is evenly distributed from based to apex.
      • Thickness.—4.4 to 4.5 mm on average.
      • Texture.—Smooth.
      • Color.—Flavedo (epicarp): Ranges between RHS 21A (yellow-orange) to RHS 21C (yellow-orange). Albedo (mesocarp): RHS 11D (yellow). Stylar end: Closed.
      • Rind oil cell density.—208 oil cells/square cm.
      • Oil glands.—Appear to be distributed evenly throughout most of the fruit flavedo, with interspersed large oil glands, and with small oil glands toward the fruit shoulder area; no pitting or pebbling has been observed on the oil glands.
  • Flesh:
      • Number of segments.—Average between 10 and 11 segments per fruit.
      • Segment walls.—Medium soft with sufficient strength to maintain integrity as separated.
      • Juice.—Abundant.
      • Color.—Uniformly RHS 24A (orange).
      • Texture.—Medium soft.
      • Vesicles.—Length: arranged from 16.3 to 16.9 mm on average.
      • Diameter (thickness).—2.7 to 3.2 mm on average.
      • Eating quality (tested at the beginning of March, varies from season to season).—Soluble solids (average): 12.6 Brix. Acidity (average): 0.92%. Sugar/Acid Ratio: 13.7.
  • Seeds:
      • Type.—Mostly polyembryonic and occasionally monoembryonic.
      • Number.—Ranges from 2 to 5; occasionally some fruit contains less than 2 seeds.
      • Shape.—Seed shapes are not uniform; normal seeds are mostly ventricose/swollen shaped and clavate club shaped.
      • Size.—Length: 15.4 to 15.5 mm. Width: 8.9 to 9.0 mm.
      • Seed coat color.—Outer Surface: RHS NN155A (white) and smooth. Inner surface: RHS 165C (greyed-orange).
      • Cotyledon color.—RHS 157D (green-white).
  • Market use: Fruit are excellent for NFC (not from concentrate) or frozen concentrate orange juice, and also very good as a fresh market orange.
  • Resistance to disease: No obvious tree-debilitating disease problems have been observed in the trees or fruit of ‘OLL-4’ currently growing, but systematic resistance testing has not been performed. ‘OLL-4’ may be moderately susceptible to citrus canker, although canker has not been observed on ‘OLL-4’.
