Abstract

Disclosed is a new and distinct variety of pistachio rootstock called ‘UCB1-D110’ characterized in that, when compared to the industry standard ‘UCB1-D1’ rootstock, it has greater growth and tolerance to the soil salts of sodium sulfate and sodium bicarbonate; greater growth and tolerance to high levels of dissolved salts in irrigation water; and earlier vegetative bud break.

Description

Latin name: Pistacia atlantica×Pistacia integerrima.
Varietal denomination: ‘UCB1-D110’.
CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
The present variety was developed as part of a breeding program which produced the following pistachio rootstocks ‘UCB1-D90’ (Ser. No. 14/756,672), ‘UCB1-D71’ (Ser. No. 14/756,673), and ‘UCB1-D154’ (Ser. No. 14/756,676).
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW VARIETY
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of hybrid pistachio Pistacia atlantica (not patented)×Pistacia integerrima (not patented) used as a rootstock known by the varietal name ‘UCB1-D110.’ The variety ‘UCB1-D110,’ is an in vitro, single selection of the segregating controlled cross of (P. atlantica×P. integerrima) made at Davis, Calif. The purpose of the selection program was to develop rootstocks with superior tolerance to soil salts. Seedlings were tested in salt trials in the laboratory and compared to the ‘UCB1-D1’ (not patented) rootstock. Those seedlings that exhibited high tolerance to various soil salts were selected. The new variety exhibits high tolerance to numerous, common salts found in the soil and irrigation water. The present variety has higher resistance to Verticillium disease than the female parent, Pistacia atlantica; and has higher cold tolerance than the male parent, Pistacia integerrima.
The following characteristics distinguish ‘UCB1 -D110’ from the industry standard, ‘UCB1-D1’ (not patented) rootstock:
    • 1. Greater growth and tolerance to the soil salts, sodium sulfate and sodium bicarbonate.
    • 2. Greater growth and tolerance to high levels of dissolved salts in irrigation water.
    • 3. Earlier vegetative bud break.
    • 4. The present variety differs from rootstocks UCB1-D71, UCB1-D90, and UCB1-D154 in that the present variety is more tolerant to the soil salt sodium bicarbonate than the other three varieties and UCB1-D1 (not patented).
ORIGIN AND ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION OF THE NEW VARIETY
Asexual reproduction of the new and distinct variety of rootstock was accomplished by germinating seed in vitro under aseptic conditions and propagating the resulting seedlings using micropropagation techniques. Shoot epicotyl and hypocotyl tissue were collected from germinating seedlings and placed on a standard growth media to produce shoots. The shoots were sub-cultured and multiplied until desired numbers were obtained and then transferred to standard rooting media for rooting. Rooted plantlets were transferred to a peat:perlite media in acclimation chambers under 100% humidity. Field environmental parameters were gradually introduced to harden plantlets which were then successively transferred to larger pots in the greenhouse as their size increased. These potted trees were used to establish field performance trials. Subsequent evaluations have shown those asexual reproductions are true-to-type to the original rootstock selection. All characteristics of the original tree were established and appear to be transmitted completely through succeeding asexual propagations.
SUMMARY OF THE NEW VARIETY
The ‘UCB1-D110’ rootstock is characterized by its tolerance to high levels of the soil salts, sodium sulfate, and sodium bicarbonate. In each case, clone ‘UCB1-D110’ had greater growth in laboratory salt trials than the industry standard rootstock, ‘UCB1-D1’ (not patented). In another laboratory salt trial, media was supplemented with the total salt load detected in saline San Joaquin Valley irrigation water and also supplemented with twice that load. In all cases, growth of ‘UCB1-D110’ outperformed that of ‘UCB1-D1’ (not patented) in the presence of high salts. In addition, vegetative bud break of ‘UCB1-D110’ was observed to be approximately 2 days earlier than ‘UCB1-D1’ (not patented).
DESCRIPTION OF THE ILLUSTRATIONS
The accompanying photographic illustrations show typical specimens of vegetative growth of the new variety, with the color being as nearly true as is possible with color illustrations of this type:
FIG. 1 shows a 4 year pistachio tree of the new variety.
FIG. 2 shows a close-up of the mature leaves of the new variety.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW VARIETY
The following detailed description sets forth the characteristics of the new variety. The data which defines these characteristics was collected under natural daylight on plants grown in the central valley of California in Stanislaus County in the greenhouse and in the field. Descriptions may vary in slight detail due to climatic, soil and cultural conditions under which the variety may be grown. Color designations are presented with reference to the Inter-Society Color Council, National Bureau of Standards, except where common color names are also included.

SALT TOLERANCE
Different concentrations of individual salts that contribute to soil salinity and alkalinity ranging from 0 to 10,000 mg/l were added to the culture medium that rootstock was growing in. Each clone-salt combination was replicated four times. Observations were taken on visual injury symptoms and growth measured by number of shoots and leaves per plant. ‘UCB1-D110’ rootstock is characterized by its tolerance to high levels of the soil salts, sodium sulfate (at 10,000 mg/l) and sodium bicarbonate (at 1,000 mg/l). As measured on a growth scale of 1 to 10, in the case of each of these salt trials ‘UCB1-D110’ had greater growth than the industry standard rootstock, ‘UCB1-D1’ (not patented). In another salt trial, media was supplemented with the comparable total salt load detected in saline San Joaquin Valley irrigation water (Sanden, B. et al. 2009. Large-Scale Utilization of Saline Groundwater for Irrigation of Pistachios Interplanted with Cotton. 2009 Progress Rpt. of CA Pistachio Comm.) plus twice the detected salt load. In all cases, growth of ‘UCB1-D110’ outperformed that of ‘UCB1-D 1’ (not patented) in the presence of high soluble salts.
DISEASE/COLD TOLERANCE
The present variety has higher resistance to Verticillium disease than the female parent, Pistacia atlantica.
The present variety has higher cold tolerance than the male parent, Pistacia integerrima.
