Abstract
This invention relates to a new and distinct everbearing golden raspberry variety named PSI 737, which is capable of producing fruit on first year primocanes, and on both floricanes and primocanes in subsequent years. The new variety is characterized by relatively large fruit size, with an occasional wedged shaped apex, strongly rugose foliage, a common downward crease at the apex of the terminal leaflet and a very thorny primocane texture.
Description
This new variety of everbearing golden colored raspberry resulted from a breeding program jointly sponsored by the assignees of this application, Plant Sciences, Inc. and Coast Cooling, Inc., both of Watsonville, Calif. The breeding program had as its objective the development of new and distinct raspberry varieties. The new variety, hereinafter referred to as PSI 737, was discovered from a cross of parents `Heritage`×`PSI R86.138A` an unnamed and unpatented seedling.
PSI 737 was discovered as a seedling within the population of seedlings from the stated cross. The seeding was grown and asexually reproduced from root-buds during the spring and summer of 1988, also in Watsonville, Calif.
After its selection in 1988, clones of PSI 737 were further asexually propagated and extensively tested over the next three years in advanced selection plots also located in Watsonville, Calif. This propagation and reproduction demonstrated beyond doubt that the combination of traits disclosed herein as characterizing the variety are fixed and remain true to type through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
This application relates to a new and distinct everbearing, golden raspberry variety, botanically known as Rubus idaeus. The following characteristics are particularly distinguishing and outstanding in the new variety:
1. Everbearing fruiting habit, fruits on first year primocanes;
2. Large sized, golden colored fruit, having good flavor, with an occasional wedged-shaped apex;
3. Strongly rugose foliage;
4. Extremely thorny texture; and
5. A typical downward crease at the apex of the terminal leaflet.
The accompanying photographs show typical specimens of the new variety at various stages of development:
Photograph 1 shows typical plant parts of the new variety, including leaves (both upper and lower surfaces of a mature terminal leaflet), individual flowers, inflorescences, mature fruit, primocane, receptacle and the developmental stages of the fruit from flower to maturity;
Photograph 2 depicts a typical fruiting terminal, showing exposure of the fruit and its notable golden coloration;
Photograph 3 shows a typical mature terminal leaflet, with its strongly rugose texture and typical downward creased apex; and
Photograph 4 shows typical plant growth and fruiting characteristics of the variety in early September.
The FIG. 1 depicts isozyme banding patterns for PSI 737 and the two most closely related varieties known to the breeder.
Photograph 1 was taken in Watsonville, Calif. in September 1991, in greenhouse filtered sunlight. Photographs 2-4 were taken outdoors in September 1991, on an overcast day in Watsonville, Calif., under non-filtered light.
The following is a detailed description of PSI 737, including fruit production, together with the variety's morphological, electrophoretic and pest reaction characteristics. The variety's characteristics are compared to those of PSI.R86.745 (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,062), hereafter referred to as PSI 745.
This detailed description of PSI 737 is based on observations taken in August, 1991, from plants planted in early January of the same year in Watsonville as dormant root stock. The characteristics of the new variety may vary slightly in detail, depending upon the evaluation date, variations in environmental factors, including weather (temperature, humidity, and light intensity), day length, soil and location. PSI 737 has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. Color terminology follows the Munsell Book of Colors, Munsell Color, Baltimore, Md. (1976).
PSI 737 is primarily adapted to the climate and growing conditions of the central California coast, where it was selected and tested. This region, near the Pacific ocean, provides the necessary year-round temperatures required to produce a strong vigorous plant, and to remain in fruit production from August through November and, later, from June through July.
Initial yield studies show that PSI 737 produces moderately heavy yields, greater than those of PSI 745 during the fall months, but with yields comparable to PSI 745 during the spring months. The seasonal average fruit size is slightly less than that of PSI 745.
The new variety begins to fruit from first year primocanes in early August, one week later than PSI 745, peaking in early to mid September. Fruiting begins again on the floricanes in early June, one week later than PSI 745, peaking in early to mid-July.
Table 1 provides the fruiting characteristics of PSI 737, comparing these characteristics to those of PSI 745.

The foliage has nearly an equal number of three-foliates and five-foliates. Occasionally, the terminal leaflet from a three-foliate will develop points to true independent leaflets. The terminal leaflet is cordate in shape, tapering to an acuminate apex, which often has a noticeable downward crease at the apex. The surface is strongly rugose, much more so than that of PSI 745. The foliage is primarily flat, with no notable twisting or cupping except for the creased apex.
Inflorescences are borne in cymose clusters. The fruit is well exposed on strong laterals for ease of picking. Flowers are medium in size and produce ample pollen for good pollination. Flowers consist of an average of 5 to 6 obovate petals per flower, occasionally 7.
The new variety may not be resistant to any of the known insects and diseases common in California. It is known to be moderately susceptible to the two-spotted spider mite and yellow rust, and only slightly susceptible to powdery mildew. It is also known to be moderately susceptible to Botyrtis fruit rot. It has not been tested for susceptibility to Phytophthora root rot or to any of the virus complexes.
Studies of protein polymorphism in Rubus by the starch gel electrophoresis method were carried out to characterize this newly developed variety and distinguish it from similar appearing varieties.
Isozymes were extracted from young leaves and characterized, using starch gel electrophoresis techniques. The following isozymes were characterized: phosphoglucoisomerase (PGI: EC 5. 3. 1. 9) and phosphoglucomutase (PGM: EC 2. 7. 5. 1).
The testing used both field and greenhouse grown plant material, all grown in Watsonville, Calif. Newly matured leaves (0.5 g fresh weight) from the growing tips of canes were used. Samples were held at 4°-8° C. and analyzed within 24 hours of collection.
The tris extraction buffer (pH 8.0) was: 0.05M tris base, 0.007M citric acid (monohydrate), 0.1% cysteine hydrochloride, 0.1% ascorbic acid (no salt or free acid), 1.0% polyethylene glycol and 80 μliter/ of 2-mercaptoethanol. Samples were extracted in a 10-12 ml cold buffer by homogenizing at 17,000 rpm or by hand grinding.
Gel and electrode buffers for the enzyme systems analyzed are given in Table 4. Electrophoresis specifications for these enzyme systems are given in Table 5.
The starch gel was prepared and held overnight at 20° C.±5° C. prior to use. The gel was prepared by dissolving potato starch (30 g) in 16 ml of cold gel buffer (System A: gel buffer 50 ml/electrode buffer 30 ml). Boiling gel buffer (220 ml) was added to the starch solution. The starch was completely dissolved and vacuumed for 15 to 30 seconds. The gel solution was immediately poured onto a 20.5 cm×22.0 cm plexiglass gel plate.
The samples were inoculated onto paper wicks, placed in a cooled gel (4° C.) and electrophoresed for 20 minutes. The wicks were removed, and the system run until the dye front travelled approximately 5-8 cm.
Following electrophoresis, the gel was sliced and stained for each enzyme system. Banding patterns were interpreted as they developed, and gel slices were fixed in 50% glycerol.

The isozyme banding patterns of PSI 737 for the two enzyme systems, compared to those of Heritage and Fall Gold, are given in FIG. 1. Band intensities are given from faint to dark.
The patterns and band densities for PGM are distinctly different as between PSI 737 and Fall Gold. The pattern for PGI is the same for PSI 737 and Fall Gold, but PSI 737 and Heritage are distinctly different. The combination of isozyme patterns shown, derived from the specific techniques described, identify PSI 737 with certainty as a unique raspberry variety.
