Abstract
A strawberry plant producing conical to almost cylindrically shaped fruit and having inflorescence extending beneath the foliage.
Description
The new variety of strawberry was created in a breeding program by my crossing two parents from among a group of seedlings which were obtained from a free pollination of 32 different varieties and seedlings; in particular, by crossing as seed parent a variety designated 85-20 and as a pollen parent a variety designated 86-175. Both parental varieties are proprietary and have not been commercialized.
The resulting seedling of the new variety was grown and asexually propagated by runners in Soria, Spain, 3°W., 41°N., 3000 feet elevation. Clones of the new variety were further asexually propagated and extensively tested. This propagation and testing has demonstrated that the combination of traits disclosed herein which characterize the new variety are fixed and retained true to type through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct strawberry variety. The varietal denomination of the new variety is `Arena`, among the charcteristics which distinguish the new variety from other varieties of which I am aware are a combination of traits which include inflorescence that appears beneath the foliage and abundant production of red colored and conical to almost cylindrically shaped fruit.
The new variety is closest to the variety `Chandler` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5262), but is distinguished therefrom by the following characteristics possessed by `Arena` which are different than, or not possessed by, `Chandler`.
1. Chandler exhibits more plant vigor than `Arena`.
2. `Arena` has a darker green leaf color than `Chandler`.
3. Leaf surface undulation of `Chandler` is less than in `Arena`. The differences in the leaves of `Chandler` and the new variety are shown in FIG. 8. These differences are maintained during the growing season.
4. Terminal leaflet of `Arena` is longer than broad whereas in `Chandler` the terminal leaflet is as long as broad.
5. Stipule coloration is absent or very weak in `Chandler` and is well noted in `Arena`. The stipules of `Arena` exhibit a reddish coloration, as shown in FIG. 9, and are more open than the stipules of `Chander` which do not display the reddish color to the same extent and are more closed. This difference is maintained through the growing period.
6. Inflorescence position of `Chandler` is level with foliage; in `Arena` the inflorescence is beneath.
7. Calyx relative to corolla is same size in `Chandler`, whereas in `Arena` it is larger.
8. `Chandler` fruit shape is long-wedged. Fruit shape of `Arena` is consical, almost cylindrical.
9. Fruit surface of `Chandler` is a bit more irregular than in `Arena`.
10. `Chandler` fruit color is purple but red in `Arena`.
11. `Chandler` calyx is larger than the fruit and in `Arena` it is the same size.
12. `Chandler` flesh color is even but is slightly uneven in `Arena`.
The accompanying photographs show typical specimens of the new variety, designated s 90-32-013 in the illustrations, including fruit, foliage and flower, in color as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make in color illustrations of this character.
FIG. 1 shows typical fruit in cross section illustrating the typical flesh and fleshcoloration, conspicuous core and core cavity and conical almost cylindrical shape;
FIG. 2 shows whole and sliced, detached fruit;
FIGS. 3 and 4 show the fruit against a background of the top surface of the foliage;
FIG. 5 shows the flower and reproductive organs of the new variety;
FIG. 6 shows the top and undersurface of a typical foliole of the new variety;
FIG. 7 shows a typical leave of the new variety;
FIG. 8 shows a comparison of the foliage of the new variety (designated 90.32.013) and of the variety `Chander`;
FIG. 9 shows a comparison of the stipules shape and color of the new variety (designated 90.32.013) and of `Chandler`; and
FIGS. 10, 11, 12 and 13 are photographs of the cross-section of fruit of the new variety (designated 90.32.013, FIGS. 10 and 12) and of `Chandler` (FIGS. 11 and 13).
The following detailed descriptin of the new variety is based upon observations taken of plants and fruit grown "underglass", i.e. undertunnel, in the farm of La Mogalla in Cartaya (Huelva), Spain, 7°W., 37°N., 45 feet elevation.
The following description is in accordance with UPOV terminology and the color terminology herein is in accordance with The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (R.H.S.C.C.). The color descriptions and other phenotypical descriptions may deviate from the stated values and descriptions depending upon variation in environmental, seasonal, climatic and cultural conditions.
Propagation: The new variety is principally propagated by way of runners. Although propagation by runners is presently preferred, other known methods of propagating strawberry plants may be used. Strawberries root well after transplanting.
General: `Arena` is a short day variety that needs an induction to flowering by chilling, such as occurs at a high elevation nursery (fresh plant) or with cold storage (referred to as a frigo).
Production: Plants described are from high elevation nursery: include two repetitions with 100 plants per repetition.
Date of planting.--20th Oct. 1994 in Cartaya (Huelva).
Comparison with `Chandler`: The new variety is compared with `Chandler` in FIGS. 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13. As can be seen, the flesh color in `Chandler` is relatively even whereas in the fruit of `Arena` it is slightly uneven.
