Embodiment Construction

Accordingly, in the present invention we have developed a novel, distinct, unique, and high essential oil yielding plant of geranium (Pelargonium graveolens) `Safal`, through progeny screening from the seeds obtained from the plant cultivar `Bipuli` of Pelargonlum graveolens, possessing the following combination of characters: a. the plant is a hybrid between cultivar `Bipuli` and cultivar `Hemanti` (unpatented) as the pollen donor as indicated by the co-dominance RAPD pattern obtained by the random primer 5'AACGTACGCG3' [SEQ ID NO:5] b. possessing very large, hairy, soft, yellow-green (upper surface--144A; lower surface--147B) leaves, dark pink (78D) petals in the flowers, c. possessing vigorous and rapid vegetative growth with higher plant height of up to 82.+-.6 cm, higher canopy size of up to 1.42.+-.0.4 m.sup.2, higher herb yield of up to 11.1.+-.0.9 kg per plant, higher leaf area of up to 101.+-.16 cm.sup.2, higher oil content up to 0.35 to 0.40% and higher oil yield of up to ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a new, distinct and unique plant of rose scented geranium Pelargonium graveolens `Safal` derived from a rare seed-set in cultivar `Bipuli,` apparently the result of hybridization between largely sterile populations of the cultivar accessions `Bipuli` and `Hemanti`, possessing the following combination of characteristics namely demonstrated vigour in the essential oil yield related traits in great measure and out yielded all the other accessions; the essential oil of the plant has 89% rhodinol content in which citronellol to geraniol ratio is approximately 1:1 and the contents of isomenthone, menthone, 10-epi-.gamma.-eudesmol, 6,9-guaiadiene, decanoic acid and isodecanoic acid were relatively lower than in the oils of accessions `Bipuli` and/or `Hemanti`, this plant can be propagated vegetatively through stem cuttings and suitable for commercial cultivation in large scale.

Description

Latin name of the plant claimed: The plant claimed is Pelargonium graveolens var. `Safal`.FIELD OF INVENTIONThe present invention is related to the development of a novel high essential oil producing plant obtained through a unique method of progeny screening from the seeds obtained from the plant cultivar `Bipuli` (unpatented) of Pelargonium graveolens, from which a novel, unique and commercially viable plant of rose scented geranium Pelargonium graveolens with high quantity and quality of essential oil yield was screened out. Further, the invention relates to the development of a high essential oil yielding hybrid named as `Safal` through a planned selection and analysis of the `Bipuli` seedling progenies. The essential oil of the plant is rich in rhodinol (89%) which includes the constituents geraniol, citronellyl, geranyl acetate, citronellyl acetate, geranyl formate, citronellyl formate, phenyl ethyl alcohols, cis and trans rose oxides, linalool and likewise. The hybrid of the ...
