Plant Varieties Journal Vol. 23 Number 4 Details of Application Application Number 2010/094 Variety Name ‘Little Gem’ Genus Species Musa hybrid Common Name Banana Synonym Nil Accepted Date 02 Jul 2010 Applicant Tim Johnson, Condong, NSW Agent N/A Qualified Person Ian Paananen Details of Comparative Trial Location Condong, NSW Descriptor Banana (Musa acuminata)TG/123/3 Period Spring 2010 Conditions Trial conducted with mature plants under a typical orchard system and with typical management with uniform growing conditions. Trial Design Ten plants of each variety from within a standard block planting. Measurements Randomly selected from all plants. RHS Chart - edition 2007 Origin and Breeding Spontaneous mutation: ‘Goldfinger’. A single spontaneous mutation was observed in 2006 in a commercial planting of the parent variety due to the appearance of small fruit on a large bunch size with desirable flavour and texture. It was subsequently propagated by suckers over three generations to confirm stable reproduction of this trait. It was found to reproduce in a uniform and stable manner. The parent is characterised by its larger fruit length (ca 18cm) and medium to dense fruit bunch density. Selection took place in Condong, NSW. Selection criteria: small fruit on a large bunch size with desirable flavour and texture. Propagation: vegetative, by suckers and micropropagation. Breeder: Tim Johnson, Condong, NSW. Choice of Comparators Characteristics used for grouping varieties to identify the most similar Variety of Common Knowledge Organ/Plant Part Context State of Expression in Group of Varieties Pseudostem length medium Leaf length medium Inflorescence persistence of female bracts weak Fruit bunch shape slightly conical Fruit bunch angle of fruit to bunch medium Fruit colour of skin deep yellow Most Similar Varieties of Common Knowledge identified (VCK) Name Comments ‘Goldfinger’ Varieties of Common Knowledge identified and subsequently excluded Variety Distinguishing State of Expression State of Expression in Comments Page 106 of 322
