Abstract
A new and distinct variety of Vaccinium corymbosum L. plant named ‘RYOKU NH-12’, characterized by having more compact plant size, comparatively early fruit ripening time, comparatively large and uniform fruit size, firmer and lower dehiscent fruits, sweeter fruits, better taste balance of sweetness and acidity, and better taste of fruits, as compared to other Vaccinium corymbosum L. varieties.
Description
The Latin name of the genus and species of the novel variety disclosed herein is: Vaccinium corymbosum L.
The novel variety of the Vaccinium corymbosum L. disclosed herein has been given the variety denomination: ‘RYOKU NH-12’.
This application claims priority to Japanese Plant Breeders' Rights Application No. 31724, filed Jan. 4, 2017, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct hybrid variety of northern highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) named ‘RYOKU NH-12’. This novel variety was found by open pollination of ‘Spartan’, ‘Duke’ and ‘Denies Blue’ in the tests conducted for the period from 2004 to 2008 in Matsumoto-City, Nagano-prefecture, Japan. As stated below, ‘RYOKU NH-12’ has apparently different characteristics from those of the ‘Spartan’ and ‘Duke’, both being widely planted and important varieties in the Chubu district of Japan.
Blueberry variety ‘RYOKU NH-12’ exhibits outstanding and distinguishing characteristics when grown under normal horticultural conditions in the area from Nagano-prefecture to the north of the Kanto in Japan, including:
-
- (1) more compact plant size;
- (2) comparatively early fruit ripening time (50% fruit ripening around late June of each year in Matsumoto, Nagano, Japan);
- (3) comparatively large and uniform fruit size;
- (4) firmer and lower dehiscent fruits;
- (5) sweeter fruits with better taste balance of sweetness and acidity; and
- (6) better taste of fruits.
The accompanying colored photographs (FIGS. 1 to 8 ) show typical bush, flower, fruit and leaf characteristics of the new Vaccinium corymbosum L. plant, ‘RYOKU NH-12’. Colors shown are as accurate as can be reasonably reproduced by photographic means. In some cases, the color might differ slightly from the colors of ‘RYOKU NH-12’ recited in the description.
A. Distinctive Characteristics of ‘RYOKU NY-12’
As described above, ‘RYOKU NH-12’ was obtained by the open pollination of ‘Spartan’, ‘Duke’ and ‘Denies Blue’. On Apr. 15, 2004, about 1,000 seeds obtained from the mixed fruits of ‘Spartan’, ‘Duke’ and ‘Denies Blue’, all of which were harvested in a field in Matsumoto-City, Nagano-prefecture, Japan, seeded in plant seeding trays, and then transplanted to pots. The resulting seedlings (about 300) were planted in cultivation pots on May 1, 2005. Fructification of the planted seedlings was started from Jun. 20, 2008 (on Year 3), and about 20 plant individuals were selected based on the characteristics, including larger fruit size, better taste balance of sweetness and acidity, higher yield per plant, earlier ripening time, large and uniform fruits, etc. For the about 20 plant individuals selected, test plots (each including about 20 cuttings per plant individual) were formed, where these plants were asexually propagated by cutting means. During the period from Jul. 20, 2010 to Dec. 25, 2016 and for 3 generations, the plants were propagated and examined for their characteristics based on the growth, and yield and fruits quality in each test plot. For 10 test plots, the characteristics of the plants were observed for the period between the flowering time and the ripening time yearly for 4 years, and since neither variant nor off-type plant was observed for the period, the characterization of ‘RYOKU NH-12’ was finished on Dec. 25, 2016 and the breeding was completed.
‘RYOKU NH-12’ is a blueberry clone distinguishable from the important blueberry varieties ‘Spartan’ and ‘Duke’, both of which are widely planted in the Chubu district of Japan, due to its characteristics including more compact plant size, comparatively early fruit ripening time, comparatively large and uniform fruit size, firmer and lower dehiscent fruits, sweeter fruits with better taste balance of sweetness and acidity, and better taste fruits. 20 plants of ‘RYOKU NH-12’ had been propagated by cutting means in Matsumoto, Nagano, Japan, and all the resulting plants were phenotypically indistinguishable from the original plant variety ‘RYOKU NH-12’. In addition, comparing to ‘Spartan’ and ‘Duke’, the claimed plant ‘RYOKU NH-12’ has more compact plant size, about 1 week earlier fruit ripening time (on average, around June 25 to July 1 of each year in Matsumoto, Nagano, Japan), larger and more uniform fruit size, and firmer and sweeter fruit when compared to its related variety ‘Spartan’, and has more compact plant size, lower dehiscent fruits, sweeter fruits, a better balance of sweetness and acidity, and better tasting of fruits when compared to the ‘Duke’ variety (see Table 1 below).
The following data defining characteristics of ‘RYOKU NH-12’ were collected from the asexual propagation carried out in Matsumoto, Nagano, Japan. The plant history was taken on a plot of 10 four-year-old plants growing in Matsumoto, Nagano, Japan. ‘RYOKU NH-12’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions, and the measurements provided might therefore vary if grown in different environments. Where averages are given, the sample size was 10.

- 8. Use: ‘RYOKU NH-12’ produce northern highbush blueberries suitable for fruit-picking farms, fresh fruit markets and processed fruit market, etc.
- 9. Resistance to disease, insects, and mites: ‘RYOKU NH-12’ grew vigorously and showed excellent bush survival in the field. It appears to be tolerant to stem blight (Botryosphaeria spp.) and root rot (Phytophthora cinnamoni), with very few young plants dying soon after planting. The response of ‘RYOKU NH-12’ to the various fungal species that cause summer leaf spots is typical of other northern highbush varieties, and fungicide applications may be needed after harvest in order to reduce foliar diseases and to retain leaves until autumn and make maximum flower bud set. Similarly, susceptibility to typical blueberry insect and mite pathogens, such as spotted wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii), blueberry gall midge (Dasineura oxycoccana) and blueberry bud mite (Acalitus vaccini), is similar to other northern highbush cultivars.
