Benefits of technology

The present invention introduces a new mandarin variety called ‘Tango’, which is a selection developed from an irradiated bud of a mid-late season maturing variety called ‘W. Murcott’. ‘Tango’ has a unique combination of characteristics, including a smooth rind texture, a deep orange color, and a rich, sweet flavor. It is also very low-seeded and easy to peel. Compared to other mid to late season maturing mandarin cultivars, ‘Tango’ has a smoother rind texture and is easier to peel. Trees of ‘Tango’ show less alternate bearing than other cultivars. These technical effects make ‘Tango’ a novel and desirable variety for commercial production.

Problems solved by technology

All of these cultivars will be seedy if grown in the presence of a pollenizer.

Embodiment Construction

[0017]Evaluation of ‘Tango’ began on the original tree at Riverside in 1998 and has continued annually until the present. Tree size, growth and fruit production characteristics and fruit quality characteristics have been compared in these evaluations to ‘W. Murcott’ mandarin from the same field block. Three and four-year-old ‘Tango’ trees in trials at Riverside, SCREC, Lindcove and Santa Paula, which were reproduced from the original ‘Tango’ selection as described above, have also been evaluated from one to two years of fruiting (see Tables 2, 4 and 5). The properties of ‘Tango’ were found to be true to type and transmissible by asexual reproduction in comparing these plantings with the original ‘Tango’ selection.

[0018]Tree size and growth characteristics of ‘Tango’ have been consistent with ‘W. Murcott’ throughout the evaluation. Growth of both the ‘W. Murcott’ and the ‘Tango’ selection has been generally upright in the first four years followed by a tendency to grow into a more sp...

Abstract

A new mandarin variety called ‘Tango’ is distinguished by production of fruit that combines mid to late season maturity, moderately large fruit size, very smooth rind texture with a deep orange color, and a rich, sweet flavor. It further distinguishes itself by being very low seeded and easy to peel.

Description

[0001]Latin name of the genus and species: The mandarin cultivar of this invention is botanically identified as Citrus reticulata. [0002]Variety denomination: The variety denomination is ‘Tango’.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]‘Tango’ is a mandarin selection developed at Riverside, Calif. from an irradiated bud of the diploid mandarin cultivar ‘W. Murcott’, a mid-late season maturing variety. The pedigree of ‘W. Murcott’ mandarin is unknown but is believed to be a seedling selection from a ‘Murcott’ Tangor tree produced in an open-pollinated field. The cultivar ‘W. Murcott’ from which ‘Tango’ was derived may be identical to a mandarin cultivar known as ‘Afourer’ and also as ‘Nadorcott’. The name ‘W. Murcott’ was assigned to a mandarin cultivar which was imported into the United States as buds in 1985 from Morocco. ‘Afourer’ and ‘Nadorcott’ are known to have originated in Morocco. ‘Nadorcott’ was patented in the United States in 1997 under U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,480 (filed in Januar...
