Abstract

This invention is a new and distinct grapevine variety denominated ‘IFG Thirty-one’. The new grapevine ‘IFG Thirty-one’ is characterized by producing small seedless, purple-black berries having a narrow ellipsoid shape with a unique strong fruity labrusca flavor reminiscent of artificial grape flavor. Fruits normally ripen early to mid-season about late July to early August near Delano Calif.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species claimed: Vitis interspecific hybrid.
Variety denomination: ‘IFG Thirty-one’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The new and distinct grapevine described and claimed herein originated from a hand pollinated cross of the IFG 01124-032-156, an unnamed seedling selection from the IFG breeding program, and the interspecific variety Arkansas 2798 hybridized in May 2006. The abortive seed traces were subsequently embryo cultured and the resulting population of 5 plants was planted in the field in April 2007. The present variety of grapevine was selected as a single plant in July 2008 and was first asexually propagated by hardwood cuttings in December 2008 near Delano, Kern County, Calif. The resulting propagules were planted during April 2009 near Delano, Kern County, Calif. and were found to reproduce true-to-type through at least two generations of asexual reproduction.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new grapevine ‘IFG Thirty-one’ is characterized by producing small purple-black berries having a narrow ellipsoid shape with a unique strong fruity labrusca flavor reminiscent of artificial grape flavor. Fruits normally ripen early to mid-season about late July to early August near Delano Calif. Fruits have medium firm texture, and berries can crack at the tip when fully ripe. Attachment of the berry to the pedicel is somewhat weak. Vines are moderately productive and can be pruned to short spurs. The new grapevine differs from its female parent the IFG 01124-032-156 by having rounder berry shape and by having a very strong fruity labrusca type flavor as opposed to a neutral flavor. ‘IFG Thirty-one’ can be distinguished from its pollen parent, A2798, by its purple-black color as opposed to black color, by having smaller berry and cluster size.
The interspecific nature of the vine is very evident. Vines are very vigorous with a more erect-horizontal growth habit and large leaves as compared to typical seedless grapes of the Vitis vinifera species.
Grape breeders have used several native American grape species to improve hardiness, disease and insect resistance as well as incorporate aromatic flavors into the vinifera species. Previously introduced interspecific varieties have had very limited commercial success due to small fruit size, large seed traces, slipskin texture or lack of firmness. The new grapevine variety is being introduced because of its unique labrusca flavor combined with seedlessness, and good adhesion of skin.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The accompanying photographic drawing in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color ‘IFG Thirty-one’. 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. The left side of the drawing has a mature leaf. A mature fruit cluster is represented in the center of the drawing along with a typical berry in cross section. A young shoot tip with tendrils and young leaves can be seen on th right side of the drawing.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL 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 R.H.S. Colour Chart, published in 2001 by The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England.
Throughout this specification subjective description values conform to those set forth by the UPOV International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants publication ‘Grapevine Vitis L. Guidelines’ (TG/50/9) (Apr. 9, 2008), (www.upov.int/edocs/tgdocs/en/tg050.pdf).
