Abstract
A new and distinct strawberry plant named Darline particularly characterized by its vigorous growth habit, large fruit with firm surface, orange-red fruit color, medium season variety, erect leaves, and its long picking period.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinctive variety of strawberry plant referred to by the varietal name Darline.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program. The basic objective of the breeding program was to create a new variety of strawberry having good color, attractive shape, good productivity and good keeping quality.
The new variety was originated from a cross made by the inventor in a controlled breeding program in Milly-La-Foret, France. The female parent was a variety designated Gariguette, and the male parent was a variety designated Aiko.
Darline was discovered and selected by the inventor as a plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Milly-La-Foret, France. Asexual reproduction of the new variety, as performed by the inventor at Milly-La-Foret, France, has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for the new variety are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction. The first selected plant of the variety was asexually propagated by tissue culturing from the cross. The specimens of the variety derived from this tissue culturing were then propagated in a nursery by the production of runners.
Darline has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment. The following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in Milly-La-Foret, France, under conditions which closely approximate those generally used in commercial practice.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of Darline, which, in combination, distinguish this strawberry plant as a new and distinct variety:
1. Vigorous growth habit.
2. Erect leaves.
3. Medium season variety.
4. Large sized fruit with firm surface.
5. Orange-red fruit color.
6. Long picking period.
7. Tolerant to Phytophtora Cactorum.
The new variety is most similar to Valeta, being similar thereto in the characteristics of shape and color of the fruit, and distinguishing therefrom in the characteristics of firmness and size. Darline may be distinguished from Darlibelle, Gariguette and Valeta as follows:
______________________________________ CHARACTERISTICS DARLINE DARLIBELLE ______________________________________ Plant vigor Vigorous Very vigorous Leaf habit Erect Erect Fruit size Long and Medium long Large Medium large Fruit Color Orange Bright red to red Purple Fruiting Period Mid-season Early to Mid- season Picking duration 6-7 Weeks 5-6 Weeks Adaptation to Adapted to Adapted to all soil all kinds kinds of soils of soils Tolerance to tolerant tolerant to: diseases to: Oldium and Phytoph- Botrytis thora Cactorum ______________________________________ CHARACTERISTICS GARIGUETTE VALETA ______________________________________ Plant vigor Vigorous Medium Leaf habit Less Less Erect Erect Fruit size Very long Large an and medium Medium Long Large Fruit Color Orange red Orange red to orange Fruiting Period Very early Mid to late season Picking duration 4-5 Weeks 4-5 Weeks Adaptation to Needs soil Needs soil with high dressing clay level Tolerance to None None diseases ______________________________________
The fruit of Darline is longer than that of Valeta, while the achenes of the fruit of Darline are less prominent than that of Valeta. The fruit of Darline is less glossy at crop time than that of Valeta. The new variety is also similar to Gariguette in the general appearance of its foliage. The leaves of Darline are thicker than of Gariguette, its petioles are stronger and its peduncles are longer than those of Gariguette.
The accompanying color photographic drawings show fruit and foliage from specimen plants of the new variety.
Sheet 1 is a color photograph of a bed of plants of the new variety.
Sheet 2 is a color photograph showing several whole berries, and two berries sectioned to show flesh formation and color.
Sheet 3 is a color photograph showing in plan view and in actual size typical leaves of Darline. The colors appearing in the photographs are as true as possible with color illustrations of this type.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, or to Pantone Matching System 747XR, or where ordinary dictionary terms are used.
Parentage:

Propagation: Good production of runners. Darline is late rooting and produces a big plant. When planted in a nursery in March, Darline will produce from 60-80 runners the following November. The diameters of the runners at ground surface vary from 6-10 millimeters. These runers are less vigorous than those of Gariguette.
A. Overall size: Large globose, with a medium to dense density.
B. General plant habit:
1. Preferred planting.--In Milly-La-Foret, France is early July, with peak production occurring in June.
2. Plant habit.--Globose.
3. Plant density.--Medium to dense.
4. Plant vigor.--Strong.
C. Leaves:
1. Size.--Medium, with mature leaves being approximately 7-11 cm long and 6-10 cm wide, smaller than those of Gariguette but similar in size to those of Darlibelle.
2. Shape.--Longer than broad, edges serrated and slightly concave.
3. Color.--Upper surface, light green, approximately 137B-C. The adult leaves possess a similar green to that of Gariguette, but a lighter green than that of Darlibelle. The adult leaves are green at the bottom, and lighter green at the top.
4. Growth habit.--3 leaflets, the same as Gariguette and Darlibelle; more upright than Gariguette and similar to Darlibelle.
5. Leaf cross section.--Slightly concave.
6. Leaf blistering.--Medium, shape less blistering than that of Gariguette or Darlibelle.
7. Terminal leaflet.--Longer than broad. a. Shape of base: acute. b. Shape of tip: obtuse.
8. Petiole.--Position of hairs -- upward; as long as those of Gariguette, but shorter than Darlibelle (250 to 380 millimeters with a diameter of 4 to 4.5 millimeters).
9. Stipule anthocyanin coloration.--Medium anthocyanin coloration, less than that of Gariguette or Darlibelle.
10. Stolons.--Numerous. a. Anthocyanin coloration -- medium. b. Thickness -- medium to thick. c. Pubescence -- medium.
A. Size and shape: Large, free medium to large petals; slightly obtuse and bigger than those of either Gariguette or Darlibelle.
B. Peduncles: Medium to large size, bigger than those of either Gariguette or Darlibelle.

General observations: Darline is less affected by soil deficiencies than most commercial varieties, but will reduce its fruit production in an excess of nitrogen. Darline is, in this way, similar to Darlibelle. The fruit of Darline will remain very attractive on the market, as will Darlibelle's fruit, but will not darken during storage. These traits make the variety distinguishable from most commercial varieties.
