Benefits of technology

The patent describes a new grape variety called "IFG Twenty" which has large, seedless blue-black berries with a strong fruity labrusca flavor. The berries are elongated and firm with noticeable seed traces. The variety is suitable for long-term storage and long distance shipping. The vines are productive and can be pruned to short spurs. The new variety is being introduced because of its unique combination of late ripening, labrusca flavor, firm texture, and natural large berry size. This variety has been developed by breeders using native American grape species to improve hardiness, disease, and insect resistance as well as incorporate aromatic flavors into the vinifera species. Previous introduced interspecific varieties have had limited commercial success due to small fruit size, large seed traces, slip-skin texture, or lack of firmness.

Problems solved by technology

Previously introduced interspecific varieties have had very limited commercial success due to small fruit size, large seed traces, slip-skin texture or lack of firmness.

Embodiment Construction

[0008]Throughout this specification, color names beginning with a small letter signify that the name of that color, as used in common speech, is aptly descriptive. Color names beginning with a capital letter designate values based upon R.H.S. Colour Chart, published in 2001 by The Royal Horticultural Society, London. England.

[0009]Throughout this specification subjective description values conform to those set forth by the International Plant Genetic Resources Institute publication ‘Descriptors for Grape’ (Vitis spp.) (1983) which was developed in collaboration with the Office International de la Vigne et du Vin (OIV) and the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV).

[0010]The descriptive matter which follows pertains to ‘IFG Twenty’ plants grown in the vicinity of Delano, Kern County, Calif. during 2012 and is believed to apply to plants of the variety grown under similar conditions of soil and climate elsewhere:

Abstract

This invention is a new and distinct grapevine variety denominated ‘IFG Twenty’. The new grapevine is characterized by producing naturally large seedless blue-black berries having a narrow ellipsoidal to cylindrical shape with a strong fruity labrusca flavor. Fruits normally ripen mid to late season about early to mid-September near Delano Calif. Fruits are fairly low in acidity, with medium dense firm texture, occasionally noticeable seed trace. Vines are productive and can be spur pruned.

Description

[0001]Latin name of the genus and species claimed: Vitis interspecific hybrid.[0002]Variety denomination: ‘IFG Twenty’.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]The new and distinct grapevine described and claimed herein originated from a hand pollinated cross of the IFG 01032-067-222, an unnamed seedless selection from the IFG breeding program, and the Arkansas 2798 (unnamed interspecific) hybridized in May 2006. The abortive seed traces were subsequently embryo cultured and the resulting population of plants was planted in the field in April 2007. The present variety of grapevine was selected as a single plant in September 2008 and was first asexually propagated by hardwood cuttings in December 2008 near Delano, Kern County, Calif. The resulting propagules were planted during April 2009 near Delano, Kern County, Calif. and were found to reproduce true-to-type through at least two generations of asexual reproduction.BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0004]The new grapevine ‘IFG Twenty’ is chara...
