Abstract

A new gerbera cultivar 'Scarlet Diva' was released by the National Institute of Horticultural and Herbal Science (NIHHS) in 2010. A cross was made between 'Basic' with pink flower color and 'Mephisto' with purple flower color in 2007. After investigation of the characteristics for four years (from 2007 to 2010), it was selected specially for cut flower. The 'Scarlet Diva' has a scarlet pink flower color (RHS R52A) with dark brown disc center and semi-double flower. The average flower diameter is 11.8cm, large-sized flower. And inner ray floret and disc diameter are 5.5cm and 2.6cm, respectively. It is a vigorous cultivar and also adaptable to the local cultural environment of Korea. It is expected that if the 'Scarlet Diva' will be planted, savings on the royalty fees paid to other countries can be realized. And the local growers will also be benefitted since the cost of this cultivar will be lower than the imported ones.

농촌진흥청 국립원예특작과학원에서는 2007년 분홍색 반겹꽃 'Basic'과 자주색 반겹꽃 'Mephisto'를 교배하여 얻은 실생계통으로부터 2007년부터 2010년까지 4년 동안의 생육특성검정을 거쳐 화색이 밝고 선명하며 초세가 강건한 흑심의 주홍색(RHS R52A) 반겹꽃 절화용 거베라 신품종 'Scarlet Diva'를 육성하였다. 꽃의 직경은 11.8cm인 대륜계통이며, 내부설상화의 폭과 화반의 직경이 각각 5.5cm와 2.6cm이다. 초세가 강건하고 국내 재배환경에 적합한 품종으로 재배농가의 기호도가 높아 앞으로 국내육성품종의 재배면적 확대 및 농가의 로열티 절감에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
