Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to an Osteospermum and Dimorphoteca plant, seed, variety, and hybrid. Another aspect of the present invention relates to an Osteospermum and Dimorphoteca plant having a mutant allele designated KLEDF which results in an altered flower phenotype. The invention also relates to crossing Osteospermum and Dimorphoteca plants containing the KLEDF mutant allele with other Osteospermum and Dimorphoteca plants lacking the KLEDF mutant allele to produce intergeneric and interspecific hybrids. This invention further relates to specific lines of Osteospermum varieties exhibiting the altered-flowering phenotype. Furthermore, the invention relates to pollen, seed, and sexual, as well as asexual progeny of such plants with altered flowers. In addition, the invention relates to methods for propagating said plants and to uses of said plants.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An Osteospermum plant comprising at least one dominant mutant allele that produces an altered flower characteristic, wherein said Osteospermum plant having an altered flower has at least one inflorescence which has at least one disc floret with an average length of at least 1.3 cm, and wherein a sample of representative seed of the Osteospermum plant comprising said dominant mutant allele that produces said altered flower is deposited under NCIMB Access…
