Abstract

A new gerbera cultivar 'Paspin' was released by the National Institute of Horticultural & Herbal Science (NIHHS) in 2009. A cross was made between 'Lilabella' and 'Mephisto' with purple and semi-double in 2005. After investigation of the characteristics for five years (from 2005 to 2009), it was selected specially as a cut flower. The 'Paspin' cultivar has a pastel pink flower color (RHS R52B) with green disc center and semi-double flower. It has large-sized flowers which average flower diameter is about 12.8 cm. And inner ray floret and disc diameters are 7.87 cm and 2.57 cm, respectively. It has an adequate peduncle height of 48.6 cm, and a longer vase life of 10.8 days. It is vigorous in growth and also adaptable to the local cultural environments of Korea. It is expected that if the 'Paspin' cultivar will be planted, the royalty fees to be paid to other countries can be saved. And the local growers will also be benefitted since the cost of cultivars will be lower than the imported ones.

농촌진흥청 국립원예특작과학원에서는 2005년 자주색 반겹꽃 'Lilabella'와 'Mephisto'를 교배하여 얻은 실생계통으로부터 2006년부터 2009년까지 4년 동안의 생육특성검정을 거쳐 화색이 밝고 선명하며 초세가 강건한 녹심의 파스텔톤 분홍색(RHS R52B) 반겹꽃 절화용 거베라 신품종 'Paspin'을 품종육성하였다. 꽃의 직경은 12.8 cm인 대륜계통이며, 내화경과 화심장이 각각 7.87 cm와 2.57 cm이다. 절화장은 48.6 cm로 적당하며 꽃목이 굵고 절화수명이 10.8일로 길다. 초세가 강건하고 국내 재배환경에 적합한 품종으로 재배농가의 기호도가 높아 앞으로 국내육성품종의 재배면적 확대 및 농가의 로열티 절감에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
