Abstract

A new gerbera cultivar 'Sunny Lemon' was released by the National Institute of Horticultural and Herbal Science (NIHHS) in 2009. A cross was made between 'Pavlov' and 'Patrick' with pink and semi-double in 2006. After investigation of the characteristics for four years (from 2006 to 2009), it was selected for the use of cut flower. 'Sunny Lemon' is a vigorous cultivar with yellow flower color (RHS Y9C), brown center and semi-double. The average flower diameter is 11.0 cm. And inner ray floret and disc diameter are 7.63 cm and 2.59 cm, respectively. Days to first blooming are 84.5, approximately 2 weeks earlier than the standard cultivar. It produces a large yield with continuous supply of cut flowers and has adequate peduncle height. We believe that 'Sunny Lemon' has a great potential for expanding cultivated area of domestic gerbera cultivars and increasing farmers' income.

농촌진흥청 국립원예특작과학원에서는 2006년 분홍색 반겹꽃 'Pavlov'와 'Patrick'을 교배하여 얻은 실생계통으로부터 2006년부터 2009년까지 4년 동안의 생육특성검정을 거쳐 화색이 밝고 선명하며 초세가 강건한 대륜계통의 연한 황색(RHS Y9C) 반겹꽃 절화용 거베라 신품종 'Sunny Lemon' 을 품종육성하였다. 꽃의 직경은 11.0 cm인 대륜계통이며, 내화경과 화심장이 각각 7.63 cm와 2.59 cm 정도이다. 정식 후 개화까지의 소요기간이 약 84.5일 정도로 대조품종에 비해 약 2주정도 빠른 조기 개화성 품종으로, 절화수량이 많고 초세가 강건하여 재배농가 기호도가 높아 앞으로 국내 육성품종의 재배면적 확대 및 농가 수입 증대에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.
