AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The new grapevine variety, called IFG Thirty-four, has several technical advantages. First, it produces small, seedless berries with a strong flavor and texture that is like concord grapes. Second, it is productive and can be pruned to short spurs. Third, it can be distinguished from other grapes by its smaller berry size and more black color compared to its maternal parent. Fourth, it has been developed from a crossbreed of several native American grape species to improve hardiness, disease and insect resistance as well as incorporate aromatic flavors. Overall, this new grapevine variety offers great taste and texture with the added benefit of seedlessness and adhesion of skin and flesh.

Problems solved by technology

Clusters are medium size, and often do not set enough berries which can be ameliorated by tipping before bloom.
Previously introduced interspecific varieties have had very limited commercial success due to small fruit size, large seed traces, and slipskin texture.

Embodiment Construction

[0010]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.

[0011]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).

[0012]The descriptive matter which follows pertains to ‘IFG Thirty-four’ 4-year-old plants grown in the vicinity of Delano, Kern County, Calif. during 2013 and 2014, 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 Thirty-four’. The new grapevine plant is characterized by producing small naturally seedless reddish black to black berries having round shape with a strong concord-like labrusca flavor. Fruits are medium in acidity, with a very soft juicy texture and have excellent eating quality.

Description

[0001]Latin name of the genus and species claimed: Vitis interspecific hybrid.[0002]Variety denomination: ‘IFG Thirty-four’.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]The new and distinct grapevine plant described and claimed herein originated from a hand pollinated cross of A2304 and 01114 bulk (a bulked pollen composed of two unnamed sibling Vitis interspecific hybrid selections from the IFG breeding program) hybridized in May 2004. The abortive seed traces were subsequently embryo cultured and the resulting 124 plants were planted in the field in April 2005. The present variety of grapevine was selected as a single plant in July 2006 and was first asexually propagated by hardwood cuttings in December 2006 near Delano, Kern County, Calif. The resulting propagules were planted during April 2007 near Delano, Kern County, Calif. and were found to reproduce true-to-type through at least one generation of asexual reproduction.BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0004]The new grapevine ‘IFG Thirty-four...
