C316 (Amended) |

1.
C316 is a 198-plant synthetic variety resulting from phenotypic
recurrent selection for resistance to Phytophthora root rot.
Parental germplasm traces to ABT 350 and Paramount. Approximate
germplasm source contributions are M. falcata (14%), 2.
C316 is adapted for use in North Central and East Central regions
of the United States. C316 has been yield tested in Illinois,
Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. 3.
Flower color of
C316 at Syn. 2 approximates 100% purple with a trace of yellow,
variegated, and white. The fall dormancy of C316 is similar to Legend
(Class 4). 4. C316 has high resistance to anthracnose (race 1), bacterial wilt, Fusarium wilt, Verticillium wilt and Aphanomyces root rot (race 1); and resistance to Phytophthora root rot, stem nematode and pea aphid; and moderate resistance to spotted alfalfa aphid, blue alfalfa aphid and southern root-knot nematode (M. incognita). 5.
Breeder seed (Syn. 1) was produced in 1996 on 198 plants under
cage isolation at Bakersfield, California. Sufficient foundation (Syn.
2) seed will be produced for the expected life of the variety and will
be maintained by W-L Research. One generation of breeder (Syn. 1), two
generations of foundation (Syn. 2 or 3), and three generations of
certified (Syn. 2, 3 or 4) seed are recognized. The maximum permitted
length of stand for foundation and certified seed fields are three and
five years, respectively. Foundation seed must be produced above 40
degrees north latitude. Production of Syn. 3 foundation seed requires
consent of the breeder. 6.
Certified seed
will be marketed in 2000. 7.
It is undecided whether application will be made for Plant
Variety Protection. 8.
Information in this application can be turned over to the PVP
office. 9.
