Abstract

The present invention provides a new and distinct strawberry plant designated as ‘Magellan’ (a.k.a. ‘108789’).

Description

Latin name of the genus and species: Fragaria x ananassa.
Varietal denomination: ‘Magellan’ (a.k.a. ‘108789’).
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct strawberry plant designated as ‘Magellan’ (a.k.a. ‘108789’). ‘Magellan’ is a short-day strawberry plant.
‘Magellan’ (a.k.a. ‘108789’) is the result of a controlled-cross between a female parent cultivar designated ‘107705’ (unpatented, proprietary cultivar) and a male parent cultivar designated ‘106861’ (unpatented, proprietary cultivar) made by the Inventor and was first fruited in Watsonville, Calif. growing fields. Following selection and during testing, the plant was originally designated ‘108789’ and subsequently named ‘Magellan’.
This new strawberry plant was asexually reproduced via runners (stolons) by the inventor at Watsonville, Calif. Asexual propagules from the original source have been tested in Watsonville growing fields and to a limited extent, grower fields in high elevation. The properties of this new strawberry plant were found to be transmissible by such asexual reproduction. This new strawberry plant is stable and reproduce true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a new and distinctive strawberry plant designated as ‘Magellan’. This strawberry plant is primarily adapted to the climate and growing conditions of the central coast of California. This region provides the necessary temperatures required for it to produce a strong vigorous plant and to remain in fruit production from March through October. The nearby Pacific Ocean provides the needed humidity and moderate day temperatures and evening chilling to maintain fruit quality for the production months.
The following traits and photographs in combination distinguish strawberry plant ‘Magellan’ from known strawberry varieties. In addition, this new strawberry plant was confirmed to be a unique strawberry germplasm when tested against the California Seed & Plant Lab, Inc. (Elverta, Calif.) database using Short Sequence Repeats (SSRs). Plants for the botanical measurements in the present application were grown as annuals. Any color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The fruit produced by each new cultivar is attractive and of excellent quality.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The accompanying color photographs depict various characteristics of the cultivars as nearly true as possible to make color reproductions.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
‘Magellan’ (a.k.a. ‘108789’)
This invention relates to a new and distinctive short-day type strawberry cultivar designated as ‘Magellan’. It is primarily adapted to the climate and growing conditions of the central coast of California. This region provides the necessary temperatures required for it to produce a strong vigorous plant and to remain in fruit production from March through October. The nearby Pacific Ocean provides the needed humidity and moderate day temperatures and evening chilling to maintain fruit quality for the production months.
The following traits in combination distinguish strawberry plant ‘Magellan’ from the known strawberry plants. Plants for the botanical measurements in the present application were grown as annuals. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
The detailed botanical description in Table 1 was observed when the plants were 33 weeks after planting.
‘Magellan’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions, and the phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment. The following observations, measurements, and comparisons describe this plant as grown under normal conditions in Watsonville, Calif. unless otherwise noted.

When ‘Magellan’ is compared to the proprietary female parent (107705), the mean fruit width of ‘Magellan’ at the widest latitudinal measure is higher than that of the female parent. ‘Magellan’ fruit height is shorter than that of the female parent. ‘Magellan’ has a lower fruit dimension ratio (height/width) compared to the female parent. The fruit shape of ‘Magellan’ is symmetric conic, while the fruit shape of the female parent is conic. In terms of mean fruit yield between weeks 22 and 28 after planting, ‘Magellan’ is higher than the female parent.
When ‘Magellan’ is compared to the proprietary male parent (106861), the fruits of ‘Magellan’ are softer compared to the fruits of the male parent as measured by using a Wagner force gauge. ‘Magellan’ has a lower fruit dimension ratio (height/width) compared to the male parent. The fruit shape of ‘Magellan’ is symmetric conic, while the fruit shape of the male parent is conic. In terms of mean fruit yield between weeks 22 and 28 after planting, ‘Magellan’ is much higher than the male parent.
When ‘Magellan’ is compared to the check variety ‘Albion’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 16,228), the fruit dimension ratio (height/width) of ‘Magellan’ is lower than ‘Albion’, which confirms that ‘Albion’ has a longer conic fruit than the relatively round shape of ‘Magellan’. The petiole of ‘Albion’ is slightly thicker than that of ‘Magellan’. In terms of plant shape, ‘Albion’ was observed to spread or somewhat oblate while ‘Magellan’ was observed to be roundish.

The fruits of ‘Magellan’ are less susceptible to bruising than that of ‘Albion’. ‘Magellan’ has a greater fruit yield than ‘Albion’ between weeks 22 and 28 after planting.
