‘Hyperno’<br />
Application No: 2000/154 Accepted: 7 Jun 2000.<br />
Applicant: The State of Queensland through its<br />
Department of Primary Industries, Brisbane, QLD and<br />
Grains Research and Development Corporation, Barton,<br />
ACT.<br />
Characteristics (Table 27, Figure 45) Plant: growth type<br />
dwarf, vining semi-determinate. Leaf: medium green<br />
colour, size small. Flower: size of bract medium, colour of<br />
standard flower white, colour of wing white. Pod: length<br />
medium, shape of cross section elliptic to ovate, main<br />
colour purple, secondary colour absent, stringiness present,<br />
beak length short. Seed: weight low, longitudinal shape<br />
elliptic, transverse shape broad elliptic, number of colours<br />
one, main colour white. Time of flowering: medium.<br />
Origin and Breeding Controlled pollination: seed parent<br />
W<strong>14</strong>01 x pollen parent ‘Rainbird’ in a planned breeding<br />
program. ‘Hyperno’ (breeder’s code CH273-19D) is a<br />
selection from this cross, made in 1988. F 2 and F 3<br />
generations were bulk selected for resistances to rust and<br />
common blight, at Hermitage Research Station; the F 4<br />
generation was grown with field inoculation of both rust<br />
and common blight with single plant selection for pod<br />
production, erect habit and disease resistance. Seed of each<br />
F 4 selection was separately threshed then divided, with one<br />
portion used for inoculated seedling tests for resistance to<br />
peanut mottle virus and the other portion used for F 5<br />
progeny rows grown for seed increase at Redlands Research<br />
Station and under field inoculation for rust and blight. The<br />
resultant F 6 lines were evaluated in state-wide yield trials<br />
from 1991-1998. Selection criteria: grain yield, canning<br />
quality, erect habit for direct heading, resistances to rust,<br />
common blight and peanut mottle virus, resistance to<br />
shattering and earlier maturity than ‘Rainbird’ parent. The<br />
variety has been selected for uniformity in F 12 progeny rows<br />
at Bowen in 1994, with uniform rows bulked for the<br />
production of breeder’s seed at Ayr in 1997. Propagation: by<br />
seed. Breeder: Dr Robert J. Redden, Queensland<br />

Choice of Comparators Initially ‘Sirius’, ‘Actolac’,<br />
‘Spearfelt’, ‘Kerman’, ‘Rainbird’ (pollen parent) and<br />
W<strong>14</strong>01 (seed parent) were considered as comparators.<br />
However, ‘Sirius’, ‘Actolac’, ‘Spearfelt’, ‘Kerman’ and<br />
PLANT VARIETIES JOURNAL 2001 VOL <strong>14</strong> NO. 2<br />
W<strong>14</strong>01 were later excluded because they could be easily<br />
differentiated from the candidate variety by their green pod<br />
colour (see comparative photograph). In addition, material<br />
without the combination of resistance to <strong>Australia</strong>n strains<br />
of bean rust and resistance to peanut mottle virus were<br />
excluded. Finally, ‘Rainbird’ was considered as the most<br />
suitable comparator on the basis of pod colour.<br />
Comparative Trials Location: Hermitage Research<br />
Station, Warwick, QLD (Latitude 28º S), between Jan- Apr<br />
1999. Conditions: the trial was conducted under standard<br />
management practices. Trial design: over 500 plants in six<br />
separate rows were grown per variety. Measurements: taken<br />
at random from 30 different plants. Stability of the<br />
discriminating character of pod colouration was established<br />
by growing progeny in the glasshouse at Hermitage in<br />
winter 1999. Data for 100-seed-weight and days-to-firstflower<br />
are from multi-site variety trials with 3 replicates.<br />
These two characteristics are influenced by environment<br />
and will not be different in all environments. In 2001, a<br />
repeat test was grown at Hermitage Research Station to<br />
check the earlier trial data and confirmed that the qualitative<br />
differences recorded in earlier trials were consistent.<br />
