Application No: 99/027 Accepted: 27 Jan 1999.<br />

Applicant: Minister for Primary Industries, Natural<br />

Resources and Regional Development, Adelaide, SA and<br />

Grains Research and Development Corporation, Barton,<br />

ACT.<br />

Characteristics (Table 23, Figure 46) Plant: quality blue<br />

field pea, height medium, time of flowering late, maturity<br />

late (semi-determinate), plant anthocyanin absent. Foliage:<br />

colour green (RHS 137C), Leaf: 3-5 sets of leaflets, large<br />

stipule, strong dentation along entire length, sparse<br />

flecking, stipule length and breadth 8 x 4cm. Flower:<br />

standard white (RHS 155D) and raised, peduncle length<br />

from stem to first flower 6-8cm. Pod: shape straight, no<br />

curvature, pod length and maximum width 7.38 x 1.25cm,<br />

pod colour at maturity greyed-orange (RHS 163B), number<br />

of ovules 7.8 (average). Seed: shape spherical, size large,<br />

shape of starch grain simple, cotyledon colour green (RHS<br />

137A), testa colour green (RHS 138C). Disease resistance:<br />

moderately resistant to downy mildew and has shown less<br />

susceptibility to ascochyta blight over conventional dun pea<br />

varieties. (Note: all RHS colour chart number refer to 1995<br />

edition).<br />

Origin and Breeding Controlled pollination: seed parent<br />

breeding line M150-1 x pollen parent S.A. 1406, with final<br />

cross made in 1989. Breeding line M150-1 developed from<br />

complex crossing of Early Dun/ SA966/SA916. ‘Soupa’ is<br />

a sister line of both ‘Mukta’ and ‘Santi’. The parent plants<br />

were distinguishable from ‘Soupa’ in terms of leaf type,<br />

stipule size and dentation, flower colour, seed type and size.<br />

A single-plant, single-row pedigree system was employed.<br />

Selection of single plants commenced with the F 2<br />

generation. In the F 3 -F 5 generations, emphasis was toward<br />

selection among families. ‘Soupa’ entered into replicated<br />

yield trials as M257-7-2 in 1993. Selection criteria:<br />

increased grain yield, seedling vigour, reduced bleaching of<br />

blue cotyledon colour at maturity, non-shattering of pod at<br />

harvest and high grain quality. Propagation: by seed.<br />

Breeder: S. M. Ali, SARDI, Adelaide, SA.<br />

Choice of Comparators ‘Bluey’ and ‘Jupiter’ were<br />

included in the comparative trial as these are similar<br />

varieties of common knowledge. ‘Bluey’, ‘Jupiter’ and<br />

‘Soupa’ are all blue pea varieties. The parental genotypes<br />

were not considered for the trial because ‘Soupa’ is clearly<br />

distinguishable from these lines in characteristics stated<br />

above. The sister lines ‘Mukta’ and ‘Santi’ were not<br />

considered because these are white pea varieties.<br />

Comparative Trial Comparators: ‘Bluey’ and ‘Jupiter’.<br />

Location: Charlick Field Experimental Station, University<br />

of Adelaide, located 70km south-east of Adelaide, SA.<br />

Conditions: plants were raised in fallowed open plots. Trial<br />

design: plots arranged in randomised complete blocks, each<br />

plot was sown as a paired row 3m in length. The rows were<br />

1m apart. Sowing rate was 40 seeds per plot.<br />

Measurements: 10 specimens per replication selected<br />

randomly from each plot.<br />
