This information is provided as a courtesy of the American Society for Horticultural Science (ASHS) and is presented with the explicit understanding that ASHS and its authors are not rendering any professional service or advice. While ASHS does its best to present current, accurate, and complete information, the information provided herein may be changed at any time by its owners, or become outdated. Readers are encouraged to inquire further for confirmation of all information on cultivar description and intellectual property protection.

Nomenclature

The first name in each full entry is usually the official cultivar denomination listed in the U.S. plant patent, in foreign plant variety gazettes, or in release notes. Names given in parentheses after the primary name, without ™ or ® marks, may be considered synonyms. Names followed by ™ are common law trademarks, and names followed by ® are registered trademarks; neither are official cultivar names, but they are listed because they are often the most familiar names for cultivars. Trade names are also listed separately, with a referral to the official name (e.g., “Frostberry Delight®. See T-460.”). The links between cultivar names and trade names can be fluid and complex; the trade names listed in the Register most commonly are used to market a single cultivar, but occasionally more than one cultivar is linked to a trade name.

Following the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants, 9th ed. (2016), the primary names for Asian cultivars consist of transliterations into Roman script of the original names in Asian characters. The Register also seeks to provide, whenever possible, the original name in Asian script, and a translation of the meaning, when this is relevant.

Intellectual property document links

A Word version of List 51 containing links to intellectual property documents is included as Supplemental Material. For U.S. Plant Patents the link is usually to the USPTO master page for each cultivar, which includes patent texts and PDFs, color photographs (under “supplemental content”), and other useful information. In addition to the numbers and dates for U.S. Plant Patents and Plant Variety Protection certificates, the editors have tried to include information about Plant Breeders’ Rights for cultivars that are of foreign origin; these listings also include embedded links to original sources, insofar as they are available.

US-1279. Standard size rootstock for sweet orange and other citrus scions that appears to provide some improved tolerance to Huanglongbing (HLB) at Florida flatwoods sites. Origin: USDA-ARS, Ft. Pierce, FL, by K.D. Bowman. Changsha mandarin × Gotha Road trifoliate orange, crossed 1995 at A.H. Whitmore Foundation Farm, Groveland, FL; tested as BS95-V3-11; released 2014. Plant: upright; growth rate medium; leaves trifoliate; does not produce true-to-type seedlings, so uniform seed propagation is impossible; propagation is recommended by stem cuttings for small quantities, or tissue culture for large quantities. Rootstock performance: provides superior fruit productivity with sweet orange as compared with trees on Swingle rootstock grown in the Florida flatwoods, and infected with Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, the causal agent of HLB; fruit size and TSS/acid ratio was significantly higher for Hamlin orange on US-1279 than on Swingle; trees on US-1279 appear to be more tolerant to HLB than Swingle in the East Coast Florida flatwoods, but did not appear to be superior to trees on Swingle or Carrizo rootstocks at a Florida ridge site with HLB.

Plant: upright; growth rate medium; leaves trifoliate; does not produce true-to-type seedlings, so economical seed propagation is impossible; propagation is recommended by stem cuttings for small quantities, or tissue culture for large quantities. Rootstock performance: provides superior fruit productivity with sweet orange as compared with trees on Swingle rootstock grown in the Florida flatwoods, and infected with Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, the causal agent of HLB; fruit size and TSS/acid ratio were significantly higher for Hamlin orange on US-1282 than on Swingle; trees on US-1282 appear to be more tolerant to HLB than Swingle in the East Coast Florida flatwoods.

Rootstock performance: provides superior fruit productivity with sweet orange as compared with trees on Swingle rootstock grown in the Florida flatwoods, and infected with Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, the causal agent of HLB; fruit size was significantly larger for Hamlin orange on US-1283 than on Swingle, while TSS/acid ratio was similar; trees on US-1283 appear to be more tolerant to HLB than Swingle in the East Coast Florida flatwoods, but did not appear to be clearly superior to trees on Swingle or Carrizo at a Florida ridge site with HLB; preliminary studies indicate some graft compatibility problems with Bearss lemon, Star Ruby grapefruit, and Tango mandarin scions on US-1283 seedling rootstocks.

US-1284. Standard size rootstock for sweet orange and other citrus scions that appears to provide some improved tolerance to Huanglongbing (HLB) at Florida flatwoods sites. Origin: USDA-ARS, Ft. Pierce, FL, by K.D. Bowman. Ninkat mandarin × Gotha Road trifoliate orange, crossed 1995 at A.H. Whitmore Foundation Farm, Groveland, FL; tested as BS95-V6-24; released 2014. Plant: upright; growth rate medium; leaves trifoliate; produces numerous seeds and a high percentage of true-to-type seedlings, and is thus suited for nursery seed propagation. Rootstock performance: provides superior fruit productivity with sweet orange as compared with trees on Swingle rootstock grown in the Florida flatwoods, and infected with Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, the causal agent of HLB. Fruit size was significantly larger for Hamlin orange on US-1284 than on Swingle, while TSS/acid ratio was similar; trees on US-1284 appear to be more tolerant to HLB than Swingle in the East Coast Florida flatwoods, but did not appear to be clearly superior to trees on Swingle or Carrizo at a Florida ridge site with HLB.

Pierce, FL, by K.D. Bowman, H. Barrett, and T.G. McCollum. African pummelo × Flying Dragon trifoliate orange, crossed 1975 at USDA Date and Citrus Station, Indio, CA, by H. Barrett; hybrid seed from the cross was planted at A.H. Whitmore Foundation Farm, Groveland, FL 1976; released 2015. Plant: upright; medium growth rate; leaves trifoliate; produces numerous seeds and a high percentage of true-to-type seedlings, and is thus suited for nursery seed propagation. Rootstock performance: provides superior tree health, superior fruit productivity, and good fruit quality with sweet orange trees grown on the Florida ridge and infected with Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, the causal agent of HLB; in a trial with Valencia orange trees severely affected by HLB, trees on US-1516 rootstock had the best survival, and a good tree health rating, compared to trees on common rootstocks; Valencia fruit quality for trees on US-1516 was good, with large fruit size (212 g), intermediate TSS (9.41%), high TSS/acid ratio (12.5), and high juice color number (CN=38.6) at harvest time in April.
