Objections 

Formal objections to applications can be lodged by a 

person who: 

a) considers their commercial interests would be 

affected by a grant of PBR to the applicant; and 

b) considers that the applicant will not be able to fulfil 

all the conditions for the grant of PBR to the variety. 

A person submitting a formal objection must provide 

supporting evidence to substantiate the claim. A copy of the 

submission will also be sent to the applicant and the latter 

will be asked to show why the objection should not be 

upheld. 

A fee of $100 is payable at the time of lodging a formal 

objection and $75/hour will be charged if the examination 

of the objection by the PBR office takes more than 2 hours. 

(See Appendix 1 for more details on PBR fees) 

All formal objections must be lodged with the Registrar not 

later than six months after the date the description of the 

variety is published in this journal. 

Applying For Plant Breeders 

Rights 

Applications are accepted from the original breeder of a 

new variety (from their employer if the breeder is an 

employee) or from a person who has acquired ownership 

from the original breeder. Overseas breeders need to 

appoint an agent to represent their interests in Australia. 

Interested parties should contact the PBR office and an 

accredited Qualified Person (Appendix 3) experienced in 

the plant species in question. 

Requirement to Supply 

Comparative Varieties 

Once an application has been accepted by the PBR office, it 

is covered by provisional protection. Also it immediately 

becomes a ‘variety of common knowledge’ and thus may be 

required by others as a comparator for their applications 

with a higher application number. 

Applicants are reminded that they are required to release 

propagative material for comparative testing provided that 

the material is used for no other purpose and all material 

relating to the variety is returned when the trial is complete. 

The expenses incurred in the provision of material for 

comparative trials is borne by those conducting the trials. 

As the variety is already under provisional protection, any 

use outside the conditions outlined above would qualify as 

an infringement and would be dealt with under section 53 

of the Plant Breeder’s Rights Act. 

Applicants having difficulties procuring varieties for use in 

comparative trials are urged to contact the PBR office 

immediately. 

UPOV Developments 

Information on UPOV and its activities is available on the 

INTERNET located at http://www.upov.int 

The complete list UPOV member states with their address 

and current status of ratification is given in Appendix 5. 

Instruction to Authors: Format for 

Preparing Detailed Description for 

Plant Varieties Journal 

A detailed description for the Plant Varieties Journal must 

be prepared under following headings: 

• Details of the Application 

• Characteristics 

• Origin and Breeding 

• Choice of Comparator(s) 

• Comparative Trial 

• Prior Applications and Sales 

• Name of the person who prepared the description 

• Comparative Table 

• At the discretion of the QP/Applicant, scientific 

papers and other relevant information/publications 

can be appended to the detailed description 

Please note that the PBR office retains editorial control for 

all published material. Accordingly there may be instances 

when non-critical portions of a description (eg particularly 

verbose methodologies or appendices) are not published, 

although they do remain part of the detailed description. In 

some cases some non-distinct characteristics presented in a 

table may be omitted for publication 

Following are some notes for preparing the descriptions 

under the above headings with some examples of style and 

format: 

Details of the Application 

This will include the correct botanical name; the common 

name of the species; name and synonym (if any) of the 

variety; application number and the acceptance date; details 

of the applicant; details of the agent (if any). 

2


For consistency, botanical and common names should 

follow those of: Hortus Third, Staff of the LH Bailey 

Hortorium, Macmillan Publishing Company, 1976; Census 

of Australian Vascular Plants, RJ Hnatiuk, AGPS, 1990; 

The Smart Gardeners Guide to Common Names of Plants, 

M Adler, Rising Sun Press, 1994; A Checklist of Economic 

Plants in Australia, CSIRO, 1994; Australian Plant Name 

Index, Australian Biological Resources Study, AGPS, 1991. 

Example 1 

Genus species 

Common name of the species 

‘Variety’ syn Synonym (if applicable) 

Application No: xxxx/xxx Accepted: dd month year. 

Applicant: Applicant’s Name, Town, State 

(abbreviation) and Country (if not Australia). 

Agent: Agent’s Name, Town, State (abbreviation). 

Characteristics 

Characteristics should be described in the following order: 

Plant, Stem, Leaf, Inflorescence, Flower and flower parts, 

Fruit and fruit parts, Seed, Other characters (disease 

resistance, stress tolerance, quality etc). Characters within 

subheadings should generally be in the following order: 

habit, height, length, width, size, shape, colour (RHS colour 

chart reference with edition), other. Use a concise 

taxonomic style in which subheadings are followed by a 

colon and characters are separated by a comma. Where 

there is a UPOV technical guideline available make sure 

that the asterisk characteristics are included in the 

description. 

Example 2 

Characteristics (Table nn, Figure nn) Plant: habit 

narrow bushy, height medium, early maturing. Stem: 

anthocyanin absent, internodes short. Leaf: length long, 

width narrow, variegation present, predominant colour 

green (RHS 137A), secondary margin colour pale greenyellow 

(RHS 1A). Inflorescence: corymb. Flower: early, 

pedicel short, diameter small (average 12.5mm), petals 

5, petal colour yellow (RHS 12A), sepals 5 …..etc 

(Note: give the reference for the edition of RHS colour 

chart used, eg. all RHS colour chart numbers refer to 

1986 edition) 

Origin and Breeding 

Indicate how the variety was originated, ie. controlled 

pollination, open pollination, induced mutation, 

spontaneous mutation, introduction and selection, seedling 

selection etc. Give the name of the parents. Also give the 

characteristics of the parental material by which they differ 

from the candidate variety. Briefly describe the breeding 

procedure and selection criteria used in developing the new 

variety. Also indicate the mode of propagation used during 

breeding. Give the name(s) of the breeder. 

Example 3 

Origin and Breeding Controlled pollination : seed 

parent S90-502-1 x pollen parent S90-1202-1. The seed 

parent was characterised by early flowering, dark green 

non-variegated leaves and compact bushy habit. The 

pollen parent was characterised by late flowering, 

variegated leaves and narrow bushy habit. Hybridisation 

took place in , in . From 

this cross, seedling number S 3736 was chosen in 1993 

on the basis of flowering time. Selection criteria: 

variegated leaves, compact bushy habit and early 

flowering. Propagation: a number mature stock plants 

were generated from this seedling through tissue culture 

and were found to be uniform and stable. The ‘Variety’ 

will be commercially propagated by vegetative cuttings 

from the stock plants. Breeder: , , 

. 

Example 4 

Origin and Breeding Introduction and selection: 5 

cycles of selection within 

originating from and supplied by 

the under a materials transfer 

agreement. When grown CI2204 was heterogeneous 

with both hooded and non-hooded types and differences 

in seed colour. Repeated selection for hooded types 

produced seven breeding lines (726.1-726.7) which were 

evaluated for forage and seed production potential. From 

these lines, an uniform single line known as 726.2.1 was 

selected to become ‘Variety’. Selection criteria: seedling 

vigour, dry matter yield, uniformly hooded (awnless), 

seed colour (black). Propagation: by seed. Breeder: 

, , . 

Choice of Comparators 

As choosing the most appropriate comparators may be the 

most crucial part of the trial, we suggest the QPs do more 

research and record their decisions before making the final 

selection. Under this heading briefly indicate what factors 

you have considered in choosing the comparator(s) for the 

trial. It is strongly recommended that the parental materials 

or the source germplasm is included in the trial for 

comparison purposes. If the parents are excluded indicate 

the reason(s). 

Example 5 

Choice of Comparators ‘Comparator 1’, ‘Comparator 

2’ and ‘Comparator 3’ were initially considered for the 

comparative trial as these are similar varieties of 

common knowledge. ‘Comparator 1’ is a widely 

available commercial variety of the same species, 

however it has non variegated leaves. Therefore it was 

excluded from the trial. ‘Comparator 2’, was chosen for 

its variegated leaves and ‘Comparator 3’ was chosen for 

its compact growth habit and variegated leaves. The 

parents were not considered for the trial because the 

‘Variety’ is clearly distinguishable from the seed parent 

by its variegated leaves and from the pollen parent by 

flowering time and growth habit. 

Example 6 

3


Choice of Comparators ‘Comparator 1’ was chosen 

because it is the original source material from which the 

variety was selected. Comparator 2’ was selected for its 

similarity with the ‘Variety’ in seed colour. No other 

similar varieties of common knowledge have been 

identified. 

Comparative Trial 

List the varieties or forms used as comparators – the most 

similar varieties/forms of common knowledge. State the 

location and date of the trial. Give relevant details on 

propagation, pot/plot size and type, growing medium, 

chemical treatments, lighting, irrigation, or management 

which may be necessary to repeat the trials. State the type 

of trial design used, the total number of specimens in the 

trial and how they were arranged. State the number of 

specimens from which measurements/observations were 

taken. Also indicate how the specimen was selected and the 

sampling regime. 

Example 7 

Comparative Trial : Comparator(s): ‘Comparator 2’, 

‘Comparator 3’. Location: Carrum Downs, VIC 

(Latitude 38°06´ South, elevation 35m), summer-autumn 

1996/97. Conditions: trial conducted in a polyhouse, 

plants propagated from cutting, rooted cuttings planted 

into 210mm pots filed with soilless potting mix (pine 

bark base), nutrition maintained with slow release 

fertilisers, pest and disease treatments applied as 

required. Trial design: fifteen pots of each variety 

arranged in a completely randomised design. 

Measurements: from ten plants at random. One sample 

per plant. 

Prior Applications and Sales 

Indicate the prior overseas applications with Country, Year 

of lodgement, Current status and Name applied in the 

following format. 

Example 8 

Country Year Current Status Name Applied 

Germany 1994 Granted ‘Variety’ 

Denmark 1994 Granted ‘Variety’ 

Also indicate date and country of first sale and date of first 

sale in Australia. 

Example 9 

First sold in Germany in 1994. First Australian sale nil. 

Name of the person who prepared the description 

Name and address of the person who prepared the 

description. It is preferable that the description be prepared 

by the Qualified Person or at the very least the draft has been 

seen and approved by the QP before final submission. Please 

note that it is a responsibility of the QP under the PBR Act to 

verify the particulars of the detailed description are accurate. 

Example 10 

Description: Name, Company (optional), Town/suburb, 

State (abbreviated) 

Comparative Table 

While preparing the table NEVER use the “table creating 

features” of word processing packages as they insert hidden 

formatting blocks that are difficult to remove before 

publication. Instead, use a single tab mark to align columns. 

NEVER use drawing objects to create lines, boxes or 

shading. Instead use the underscore character ( _ ) to create 

lines for tables. Tables should normally be either 8.5cm 

wide (half page) or 17.5cm wide (full page). If necessary a 

very wide table can be presented in landscape orientation. 

Please note the following points when preparing the 

comparative table: 

• The candidate variety is always on the left of the table. 

If the same table is used for two or more candidate 

varieties, the candidate varieties are arranged in order of 

application numbers, higher application number to the 

left of the table. Comparators are always to the right of 

the candidate(s). 

• Arrange the characteristics in order – this should be the 

same as the order in the UPOV technical guidelines for 

the species. Please ensure that each characteristics 

marked with an asterisk is included. 

• If a UPOV technical guideline is not available use the 

order same as in the text part: Plant, Stem, Leaf, 

Inflorescence, Flower, Flower parts, Fruit, Fruit parts, 

Seed, special characters etc. 

• For measured characteristics Mean, Standard Deviation, 

Least Significant Difference (LSD)*at P≤0.01 is 

mandatory. 

• When quoting significant differences please give the 

level of probability in the following format: P≤0.001, 

P≤0.01, or ns. 

• For discrete characters do not use scores. Please give a 

word description. eg. round, medium, tall etc. 

• For ranked characteristics just give the numbers, do not 

use ‘normal’ statistical analysis. Non-parametric 

statistical procedures may be used in such cases. 

• Use only the number of significant decimal places 

appropriate to the level of accuracy of the observations. 

• If there are two or more candidate varieties, use range 

tests rather than an LSD, such as Duncan’s Multiple 

Range Test or any other appropriate multiple range test. 

Enter the grouping characters as alphabet superscripts. 

Completed Part 2 Applications should be sent to:

Important Changes 

AMENDMENTS TO THE PBR ACT 

Temporary amnesty for applicants caught in the 

change from 6 to 4 years of prior sale 

When the PBR Act was introduced it replaced the 

previous Plant Variety Rights Act 1987 and in doing so 

reduced the allowable period of prior sale for many new 

plant varieties from 6 years to 4 years. Following 

introduction of the current Act many applicants applied 

only to find that their allowable period for prior sale had 

expired up to two years earlier. To rectify this anomaly 

an amendment to the PBR Act has been passed and 

received royal assent on 10th December 1999. The new 

transitional arrangement will allow affected applicants 

the opportunity to have their applications reinstated. To 

take advantage of this transitional arrangement an 

application for a new variety must have been lodged and 

subsequently rejected only because it was first sold 

overseas between 10th November 1988 and 9th 

November 1990. To ensure efficient operation, any 

claims under this provision must be lodged within 6 

months of its commencement (i.e. before 10th June 

2000). 

Any person who believes that their variety may meet 

these temporary provisions can, if they wish, contact the 

PBR Office to discuss whether their variety is likely to 

be eligible. 

Other Amendments 

In addition to the above, 11 other amendments to the 

PBR Act were also passed. Most are fairly minor and 

aimed at improving the efficiency of the PBR office. The 

changes will probably be of little consequence for most 

applicants and QP’s. Further information regarding the 

likely effect and operation of these amendments can be 

obtained by contacting the PBR office. 

• The time limit in which to advise the PBR office of 

any change in assignment of rights has been 

extended from 7 days to within 30 days. Likewise 

the PBR office now has 30 days in which to notify 

all parties of a change in assignment. 

• Before an objection, request for revocation or claim 

of essential derivation can be accepted by the PBR 

office it must be accompanied by the prescribed fee. 

• Who bears the cost of a test growing in dealing with 

a request for revocation of a PBR has changed. If 

revocation action is successful, the grantee bears the 

cost otherwise costs are borne by the objector. 

• The PBR office can now recover full costs of 

undertaking a test growing of a variety on behalf of 

another UPOV country where no application is 

lodged in Australia. 

• It is no longer a requirement for the PBR office to 

maintain a copy of the Register of Plant Varieties in 

each State and Territory. 

The remaining changes are very minor and correct or 

clarify existing provisions. That a variety is ineligible for 

protection if it has been sold for more than one year in 

Australia or 4 to 6 years overseas has been clarified to 

avoid misinterpretation. An error in the placement of 

‘initial variety’ in subsection 50(5) has been corrected. It 

has also been clarified that, if not already specified in the 

Act, the time, circumstances and manner in which 

prescribed fees are paid may be specified in the 

regulations. 

NEW APPLICATION NUMBERING SYSTEM 

In December 1999, due to the anticipated Y2K problems, 

the PBR office replaced its aging MSDOS database with a 

modern and compliant, Microsoft access database. One of 

the consequences of this change was the need to slightly 

modify the application numbering system. Instead of a 2 

digit prefix to denote the year there is now a 4 digit prefix 

(eg application 00/001 becomes 2000/001). The new 

format ensures correct sorting of applications. 

CHANGE IN THE LISTING OF VARIETIES: FROM 

COMMON NAME TO BOTANICAL NAME 

Starting from the current issue the varieties included in the 

Plant Varieties Journal will be alphabetically listed by their 

botanical names. The common name(s) and varietal name 

will follow the botanical names. An index for common 

names to botanical names is published in Appendix 9 for 

cross references. 

PBR FEES WILL BE GST FREE 

The Treasurer has determined that all statutory fees under 

PBR regulation will be exempted from GST. 

HERBARIUM SPECIMENS 

It is a requirement of the PBR Act that, for all native 

species, a suitable specimen be sent to the Australian 

Cultivar Registration Authority (ACRA). The processing of 

these specimens attracts a fee from the ACRA (currently 

$50). Payment of the fee should be sent directly to the 

ACRA along with the specimen and a completed Herb1 

form. This form has recently been updated. The current 

form Herb 1(03/00) has three components: “Submission of 

Specimen of Australian Native Variety to the ACRA”, 

“ACRA Herbarium Specimen” and “Confirmation of 

Submission of Specimen to the ACRA”. Please use the 

current version of the Herb 1form for any future submission 

to the ACRA. 

CURRENT PBR FORMS 

The official forms for PBR purposes are periodically 

updated. A list of current PBR forms with their numbers and 

date of last update is given below. When a form is updated, 

the month and the year of the last update follow the form 

number within parentheses. For example, Form P1 was last 

updated in September 1998 and therefore this form gets a 

designation of Form P1 (9/98). We also encourage you to 

consult the ‘Guidelines for Completing Part 1 Application 

Form’ before filing in the Part 1 Application. To avoid 

delays we suggest that you use the latest version of the 

forms. 

5


The Part 2 form has been updated in May 1999 to include 

the information on the “Confirmation of Submission of 

Propagating Material to a Genetic Resource Centre”. 

Previously this was a separate form to be filled in at the time 

of final granting of PBR. We now encourage that the 

information on Genetic Resource Centre is given at the time 

of the Part 2 submission to avoid any delay to process the 

application at the final granting stage. 

If you do not have the latest version of the form(s), please 

contact the PBR office. Alternatively, forms can be 

downloaded from the PBR web site at

Overseas Testing/Data 

The PBR Act allows DUS data produced in other countries 

(overseas data) be used in lieu of conducting a comparative 

trial in Australia provided certain conditions relating to the 

filing of applications, sufficiency of the data and the 

likelihood that the candidate variety will express the 

distinctive characteristic(s) in the same way when grown 

locally. Briefly the overseas data could be considered 

where: 

• The first PBR application relating to the candidate 

variety has been lodged overseas, and 

• the variety has previously been test grown in a UPOV 

member country using official UPOV test guidelines 

and test procedures, (ie. equivalent to a comparative trial 

in Australia) and 

• either, all the most similar varieties of common 

knowledge (including those in Australia) have been 

included in the overseas DUS trial, or 

• the new overseas variety is so clearly distinct from all 

the Australian varieties of common knowledge that 

further DUS test growing is not warranted, and 

• sufficient data and descriptive information is available to 

publish a description of the variety in an accepted 

format in Plant Varieties Journal; and to satisfy the 

requirements of the PBR Act. 

The Qualified Person, in consultation with the 

agent/applicant, and perhaps other specialists and 

taxonomists, will need to evaluate the overseas data, test 

report and photographs to see if the application does fulfil 

all PBR Office requirements, and then advise the 

agent/applicant: 

• either, to submit Part 2 incorporating a description for 

publication, any additional data and photographs and to 

pay the examination fee; 

• or, to conduct a DUS trial in Australia, recommending to 

the applicant/agent which additional varieties of 

common knowledge to include; 

• or, submit Part 2 including additional data (information 

about similar varieties in Australia to show that they are 

clearly distinct from the candidate variety that a further 

DUS test growing including the similar varieties is not 

warranted and that the variety displays the distinctive 

characteristics when grown in Australia) 

Please note that the PBR office does not obtain overseas 

DUS test reports on behalf of applicants. It is the sole 

responsibility of the applicants to obtain these reports 

directly from the relevant overseas testing authorities. 

Where applicants already have the report they are advised to 

submit a certified true copy of the report with the Part 1 

application. Applicants, or those duly authorised, may 

certify the copy. 

6


If you do not have the test report available at the time of 

Part-1 application then you are advised to submit the Part-1 

application without the test report. However, you should 

make arrangements to procure the DUS test report directly 

from the relevant testing authority. When the report 

becomes available, a certified copy should be supplied to 

the QP and the PBR office. 

When the trial is based on an UPOV technical guideline and 

test report in an official UPOV language (English, German 

or French), it can be lodged in support of the application. In 

other cases the test reports must be in English. 

The applicant/agent and Qualified Person should use the 

overseas test report to complete Part 2 of the application, 

making a decision on how to proceed in view of the 

completeness of the information, the comparators (if any) 

used in the overseas DUS trial and their knowledge of 

similar Australian varieties that may not have been included 

in the overseas test report. 

If a description is based on an overseas test report, 

Australian PBR will not be granted until after the decision 

to grant PBR in the country producing the DUS test is 

made. The final decision on the acceptability of overseas 

data rest with the PBR office. 

Descriptions from the Voluntary 

Cereal Registration Scheme 

The Plant Varieties Journal now includes descriptions of 

cultivars registered under the Voluntary Cereal Registration 

Scheme. Please note that the publication of these 

descriptions in the Plant Varieties Journal does not qualify 

the cultivars to be protected under Plant Breeder’s Rights 

(PBR). PBR is an entirely different scheme and there are 

certain requirements under the Plant Breeder’s Rights Act 

1994, which must be satisfied to be eligible for registration 

under PBR. However, it is possible that some cultivars

1986 edition.) 

Origin and Breeding Controlled pollination: seed parent 

CK01_01_01 x pollen parent CK15_01. The seed parent 

was characterised by pale yellow flesh with a faint band of 

red pigment around the central core, fruit size 40g, sweet 

flavour, slightly flattened ovoid shape. The pollen parent 

was chosen because its sisters had large fruit and the aim of 

the cross was to increase fruit size and combine with good 

flavour and yellow flesh. Crossing took place in Oct 1987 

in Auckland, New Zealand. From this cross seedling 

number 37-1-16A, later coded to CK01_02_01_01 and 

finally named ‘Hort16A’ was selected in 1991. Selection 

criteria: large fruit size, sweet tasting, yellow coloured 

flesh, good storage life. The seed parent can be 

distinguished from the candidate variety by comparing fruit 

size, internal flesh colour and stylar end shape. Mean fruit 

size of the parent is 40g while that of ‘Hort16A’ is over 90g. 

‘Hort16A’ does not have any band of red pigment around 

the core of the fruit. The stylar end projection of ‘Hort16A’ 

fruit is very prominent while that of CK01_01_01 is only 

slightly projecting. Propagation: ‘Hort16A’ will be 

propagated by vegetative cuttings or by grafting on to 

seedling or clonal A. deliciosa or A. chinensis rootstocks. 

Breeders: Mark McNeilage, Russell Lowe, Hinga Marsh, 

The Horticulture and Food Research Institute of New 

Zealand Ltd. 

Choice of Comparator ‘KI89’ is a selection of A.chinensis 

which has been published as US PP 8,479. Currently there 

are very few other known selections grown outside China. 

Fruit of ‘KI89’ have typical A.chinensis external 

appearance, i.e. light brown skin with pubescent hair but 

can be distinguished from ‘Hort16A’ by the shape of the 

fruit (obovoid vs. ovoid in Hort16A) and the stylar end 

shape (hollow vs. protruding in ‘Hort16A’). Plants of 

‘KI89’ are being grown in the plant collection at Te Puke 

where it is known as accession CK36_01 or ‘Act 2’. The 

seed parent was not considered for a comparator as the fruit 

is about half the size of ‘Hort16A’, which is easily 

distinguishable. The pollen parent was not considered for 

the trial as kiwifruit plants are dioecious and thus male 

plants produce no fruit. 

Comparative Trial: Comparator: ‘KI89’. Location: Te 

Puke Research Centre, Te Puke, New Zealand (Latitude 37° 

49´ South) 1991/97. Conditions: 80 vines of ‘Hort16A’ 

were established in 1993 and commenced significant 

fruiting two years later. The comparison vines of ‘KI89’ 

grafted in 1992 were located in a block nearby on the same 

property and under the same management conditions. Vine 

spacing was 5m between rows and 6m between plants in the 

row. Measurements: taken from 10 plants at random, one 

sample per fruiting cane per plant.

‘Compact Amethyst’ 




Characteristics (Table 9, Figure 21). Plant: compact, nonsuckering, 

spreading perennial herb. Leaves: simple, 

alternate, bipinnatisect, glabrous, mean length 21.7mm, 

mean width 14.1mm, Length to width ratio 1.5:1. 

Inflorescence: capitulum of disk florets surrounded ray 

florets (mean number 27.8), mean diameter 20.6mm. Ray 

floret colour violet (RHS 86B, 1995), mean scape length 

66.8mm. 


Brachyscome ‘Bright Eyes’ x pollen parent Brachyscome 

‘Break O Day’. Hybridisation took place at University of 

Sydney, Plant Breeding Institute, Cobbitty NSW in 1994. 

Seed was germinated in punnets, then planted in the field. 

Selection criteria: landscape performance, flower colour 

and presentation as well as plant habit and foliage. 

Propagation: a number of stock plants have been produced 

from this seedling plant by vegetative cuttings, and have 

28



been uniform and stable over 8 generations. ‘Compact 

Amethyst’ is commercially propagated by vegetative 

cuttings from stock plants. Breeder: Peter Abell, University 

of Sydney, Plant Breeding Institute, Cobbitty, NSW, 

Australia. 

Choice of Comparators The comparator used as the most 

similar variety is ‘Break O Day’ It has very similar flower 

colour and size but differs in habit, flower scapes and leaf 

shape. This variety is the pollen parent. The seed parent 

‘Bright Eyes’ was also included in the trial but is 

considerably different in flower size, colour and plant habit. 

The commonly cultivated form of Brachyscome multifida 

lacks the spreading habit of the candidate, as well as having 

a much lighter flower colour. No other varieties of common 

knowledge were considered to be appropriate as they differ 

notably in flower colour, habit, leaf shape and form.

‘Kristina’/‘Garrison’ x pollen parent ‘Oscar’ in a planned 

breeding program followed by a modified pedigree 

breeding method. The seed parent is characterised by 

susceptibility to blackleg disease while the candidate is 

moderately resistant. Selection criteria: yield, canola quality 

oil, protein and blackleg resistance. Propagation: seed. 

Breeder: Dr Jay Patel, Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc. 

Georgetown, Ontario Canada. 

Choice of Comparators ‘Oscar’ A , ‘Dunkeld’ A , ‘Grouse’ A 

and ‘47C02’ were considered for the comparative trial as 

these are the most similar varieties of common knowledge. 

‘Oscar’ A is a widely available variety and is also the pollen 

parent of the candidate. The new variety ‘47C02’ was 

chosen because it has some similarities as it shares the same 

pollen parent with the candidate. The female parents were 

not considered as they have very minimal resistance to 

blackleg disease. 

Comparative Trial Comparator(s): ‘Oscar’ A , ‘Dunkeld’ A , 

‘Grouse’ A and ‘47C02’. Location: Wagga Wagga, NSW, 

Jun - Dec 1999. Conditions: field trial conducted on heavy

‘Jurien Brook’ 

Application No: 1997/140 Accepted: 19 Jun 1997. 



Characteristics (Table 12, Figure 37) Plant: tall, erect 

vigorous. Stem: thickness medium, branch angle medium. 

Leaf: length medium, thickness thick, angle medium, apex 

hooked. Flowering time: early. Flower: arrangement narrow 

distal, density medium to dense, diameter small. Bud: main 

colour with cap yellow-green to red (RHS 145D-41B), 

without cap purple violet (RHS 81D). Petal: colour first 

opened violet (RHS 84B), at mid-maturity purple (RHS 

77C). Flower nectary: colour first opened yellow orange 

(RHS 22B), at mid-maturity greyed purple (RHS 184C). 

Staminodia: outline narrow triangular, collar colour red 

purple (RHS 65D). Style: colour red purple (RHS 65D). 

Calyx tube: longitudinal furrowing medium, outline flared. 

(Note: all RHS colour chart numbers refer to 1986 edition.) 

Origin and Breeding Single plant selection: from open 

pollination of Chamelaucium uncinatum at Jurien Bay, 

Western Australia. The selected plant was distinctly 

different from the rest of the population and all other 

population surveyed in the following combination of 

characteristics; earlier time of flowering, smaller terminal 

flowers and longer stem. Selected in Oct 1991 and 

following a series of trials was successfully propagated 

vegetatively in 1992. Subsequent cutting propagated 

generations produced in 1995, 1996 and 1997. All of these 

plants were found to be uniform and stable. Selection 

criteria: early flowering, small terminal flowers, vigour. 

Propagation: cutting. Breeder: University of Western 

Australia, Nedlands, WA. 

Choice of Comparators ‘Mullering Brook’ was considered 

as the sole comparator as the most similar variety of 

common knowledge. ‘Early Hard’ was not considered for 

trial because ‘Jurien Brook’ is clearly distinguishable by its 

small flowers, compact and erect growth habit, deepened 

petal colour at base with maturity and its purple style at 

maturity. The original population was not considered 

because it is distinctly different from ‘Jurien Brook’ in the 

characteristics stated above. 

Comparative Trial Comparator: ‘Mullering Brook’. 

Location: Agriculture Western Australia Research Station, 

Medina, WA. Conditions: plants propagated by cuttings and 

planted in open field of sandy soil with drip irrigation and 

fertigation. Trial design: 15 plants of each variety, replicated 

randomised block design. Measurements: made on 20 

typical organs from all plants.

Application No: 98/182 Accepted: 21 Dec 1998. 


Melbourne, VIC. 

Characteristics (Table 15, Figure 59) Plant: habit erect and 

bushy, height medium to high (113.25cm), early maturing. 

Leaf: length medium (17.1cm) width medium (7.27 cm). 

Inflorescence: early emergence, early flowering, spike 

length short to medium (259.0 mm), spikelet length large 

(14.76 mm). 

Origin and Breeding Polycross: a base population of 

plants of the winter active/summer dormant cultivar ‘Melik’ 

was established as a spaced plant nursery at the Pastoral and 

Veterinary Institute, Hamilton, VIC in 1989. Genotypes 

expressing superior winter activity were selected and 

polycrossed under isolation in 1992 to generate 49 half-sib 

families. The families underwent a three year period of 

evaluation at two locations for seedling vigour, plant 

density, seasonal productivity, autumn recovery, rust 

resistance, leaf texture and nutritive value. The best ten 

genotypes based on the half-sib family performance across 

both sites were polycrossed under isolation to form the 

synthetic cultivar ‘Fraydo’. Selection criteria: good seedling 

vigour, rust resistance, winter growth and summer recovery. 

Propagation: by seed. Breeder: Agriculture Victoria, 

Hamilton, VIC. 

Choice of Comparators ‘Melik’ was selected as a 

comparator as it is the original source from which the 

variety was developed. The source material represents a 

variety released in 1971 from which adapted genotypes 

were identified and became the base population. 

‘Bombina’, ‘Demeter’ ‘Fletcha’, ‘Midwin’ and ‘Resolute’ 

were included as comparators as they represent similar 

varieties of common knowledge. 

Comparative Trial Comparators(s): ‘Melik’, ‘Bombina’, 

‘Demeter’, ‘Fletcha’, ‘Midwin’, and ‘Resolute’. Location: 

Agriculture Victoria – Rutherglen, VIC (Latitude 36°S, 

Longitude 146°E) winter – summer 1999- 2000. 

Conditions: plants grown from seed in tree tubes in a 

polyhouse from 1 May 1999 to transplanting on 6 Aug 1999 

into a field site. Field site was prepared to remove weed 

competition for two years prior to planting. Woven weed 

mat was layed down and plants transplanted on a grid into 

the field site. The trial was fertilised with superphosphate at 

planting and standard pest control conducted to control 

slugs and insects. Each treatment/comparator was 

replicated ten times with each replicate consisting of ten 

individual plants with treatments randomised within and 

between replicates. Measurements: carried out on each 

individual plant.

Herbicide reaction: tolerant to glyphosate. 


94608 x pollen parent ‘Sicala V-2’ A at Australian Cotton 

Research Institute (ACRI), Narrabri, NSW. The seed parent 

is distinguished by its segregating glyphosate tolerance. The 

pollen parent is distinguished by its susceptibility to 

glyphosate. This cross was the third backcross of ‘Sicala V- 

2’ A onto a line transformed with a Monsanto glyphosate 

tolerance gene. The first cross was carried out at St. Louis, 

USA and the F1 sent to quarantine at CSIRO Plant Industry 

in Canberra, Australia where the first backcross was carried 

out using ‘Sicala V-2’ A . Two subsequent backcrosses using 

‘Sicala V-2’ A as the recurrent parent were carried out at 

ACRI. At all stages progeny were screened for the 

glyphosate tolerance gene and a marker gene. Following the 

final backcross selfing was done and single plant selection 

followed by progeny row and multiple environment trials 

were carried out. Selection criteria: glyphosate tolerance, 

resistance to bacterial blight and Verticillium wilt, leaf 

hairiness, fibre quality and yield. Propagation: by seed. 

Breeder: Mr P E Reid, CSIRO Plant Industry, Cotton 

Research Unit, Narrabri, NSW. 

Choice of Comparators ‘Sicala V-2’ A was chosen because 

it is the recurrent parent and the most similar variety of 

common knowledge. The parent 94608 was not considered 

as a comparator because it is easily distinguished from 

‘Sicala V-2RR’ because of its segregating glyphosate 

tolerance. 

Comparative Trials Comparator: ‘Sicala V-2’ A . Trial 

location: ACRI, Narrabri, NSW, 1998 - 99 summer. 

Morphology and fibre quality trial conditions: field grown 

irrigated trial with conventional management. Trial design: 

15 entry trial in a row and column design with three 

replicates and three row x 14m plots. Measurements: 

morphological measurements on 10 plants from each plot. 

Lint % and fibre quality measurements taken on a 50 boll 

sample from the centre row of each plot. Fibre quality was 

measured on a Zellweger Uster HVI 900 instrument. 

Glyphosate tolerance trial conditions: glasshouse trial using 

255mm pots. Trial design: four pots containing four plants 

each for each treatment in a completely randomised design.

94606 x pollen parent ‘Sicot 189’ A at Australian Cotton 

Research Institute (ACRI), Narrabri, NSW. The seed parent 

is distinguished by its segregating glyphosate tolerance. The 

pollen parent is distinguished by its susceptibility to 

glyphosate. This cross was the third backcross of ‘Sicot 

189’ A onto a line transformed with a Monsanto glyphosate 

tolerance gene. The first cross was carried out at St. Louis, 

USA and the F1 sent to quarantine at CSIRO Plant Industry 

in Canberra, Australia where the first backcross was carried 

out using ‘Sicot 189’ A . Two subsequent backcrosses using 

‘Sicot 189’ A as the recurrent parent were carried out at 

ACRI. At all stages progeny were screened for the 

glyphosate tolerance gene and a marker gene. Following the 

final backcross selfing was done and single plant selection 

followed by progeny row and multiple environment trials 

were carried out. Selection criteria: glyphosate tolerance, 

resistance to bacterial blight and Verticillium wilt, leaf 

hairiness, fibre quality and yield. Propagation: by seed. 

Breeder: Mr P E Reid, CSIRO Plant Industry, Cotton 

Research Unit, Narrabri, NSW. 

Choice of Comparators ‘Sicot 189’ A was chosen because 

it is the recurrent parent and the most similar variety of 

common knowledge. The parent 94606 was not considered 

as a comparator because it is easily distinguished from 

‘Sicot 189RR’ because of its segregating glyphosate 

tolerance. 

Comparative Trials Comparator: ‘Sicot 189’ A . Trial 

location: ACRI, Narrabri, NSW, 1998 – 99 summer. 

Morphology and fibre quality trial conditions: field grown 

irrigated trial with conventional management. Trial design: 

15 entry trial in a row and column design with three 

replicates and three row x 14m plots. Measurements: 

morphological measurements on 10 plants from each plot. 

Lint % and fibre quality measurements taken on a 50 boll 

sample from the centre row of each plot. Fibre quality was 

measured on a Zellweger Uster HVI 900 instrument. 

Glyphosate tolerance trial conditions: glasshouse trial using 

255mm pots. Trial design: four pots containing four plants 

each for each treatment in a completely randomised design. 

Standard commercial dose of Glyphosate was sprayed onto 

plants at the 4 leaf stage. 

Prior Application and sales Nil.

‘Sarabande’ x pollen parent K10. The seed parent was 

characterised by bicolour flower with good contrast of the 

two colours and very tall growth. The pollen parent was 

characterised by bicolour flower and vigorous growth. 

Hybridisation took place in Rheinberg, Germany in 1994. 

From this cross, seedling number 3 was selected in 1995. 

Selection criteria: good vigour, good contrast in flower, 

flower shape, flower size. Propagation: a number of mature 

stock plants were generated from this seedling through 

cuttings and found to be uniform and stable. ‘Durirest’ will 

be commercially propagated by vegetative cuttings from 

45


stock plants. Breeder: Marga Dummen, Rheinberg, 

Germany. 

Choice of Comparators ‘Paradise Tagula’ and ‘Paradise 

Pago Pago’ were considered for the comparative trial to be 

the most similar varieties of common knowledge. The Red 

Fox Riviera series varieties are similar to the Paradise series 

varieties in flower size, number, colour and earliness. All 

other varieties available in Australia were excluded because 

of their lack of similarity to either of the above series 

varieties. 

Comparative Trial Comparator: ‘Paradise Tagula’, 

‘Paradise Pago Pago’. Location: trials conducted at F& I 

Baguley Flower and Plant Growers, Clayton South, VIC, 

Mar – Jul 1999. Conditions: plants raised on their own roots 

from cuttings planted into 150mm pots in commercial pine 

bark potting mix on raised glasshouse benches. Pots were 

watered and fed using a drip system (one dripper/pot). The 

glasshouse walls and roof were sprayed with whitewash at 

the start of the trial. All plants were subjected to the same 

spray chemical treatments to maintain health. Trial design: 

12 plants of each variety were arranged in rows.

variety ‘USA Tetilla’ is characterised by shorter spike 

length and earlier maturity. During 1989-90 the open 

pollinated progenies were selected for autumn/winter 

growth and the ability to grow into the second and third 

years like diploid Italian ryegrasses. Further testing was 

47


done for two more years to confirm the uniformity and 

stability of the selection. Selection criteria: seed yield, 

larger leaf size and early maturity. Propagation: by seed. 

Breeder: Stewart Sutherland, Tooma, NSW. 

Choice of Comparators ‘Tattoo’, ‘New Tetilla’ and ‘USA 

Tetilla’ were chosen as the most similar tetraploid varieties 

of common knowledge on the basis of similar heading 

dates. ‘USA Tetilla’ is one of the original source materials 

from which ‘Robust was developed. ‘New Tetilla’ is a 

further selection from ‘USA Tetilla’. 

Comparative Trial Comparators: ‘Tattoo’, ‘New Tetilla’ 

and ‘USA Tetilla’. Location: Whittlesea, VIC, springsummer, 

1999. Conditions: planted as spaced plants in open 

beds, managed for even and uniform growth. Trial design:

Box Honeysuckle 

‘Little Nikki’ 

Application No: 1999/159: Accepted: 21 Jun 1999. 

Applicant: David George Kent, Morayfield, QLD. 

Characteristics (Table 30, Figure 26) Plant: vigour 

medium, habit erect, compact, height medium, width 

medium, size small to medium. Stem: slender straight many 

branched red brown anthocyanin present weakly and 

proximally. Leaf: opposite, simple, entire, shortly petioled, 

length long, width narrow, size small, shape elliptical, apex 

obtuse/mucronulate, base cuneate, incisions of margin 

absent, undulations of margin weak to medium, variegation 

present, primary colour green and yellow-green (137A, 

141A and 144A), variegation colour white and yellowwhite 

and yellow (155A and 158B and 11B, 12C, 2D) 

variegation occurrence/expression marginal irregular 

narrow to broad band, variegation intensity strong, variable, 

blistering of blade weak. (Note: all RHS colour chart 

numbers refer to 1995 edition) 

Origin and Breeding Spontaneous mutation: from 

common form of Lonicera nitida. The source material is an 

old variety, cultivated since the turn of the century, with mid 

to dark green non-variegated leaves. A variegated mutant 

was first observed in 1995 on the applicant’s property, 

which was characterised by green and white-yellow 

variegated foliage. Selection criteria: selected for variegated 

leaves repeatedly for 5 selection cycles. Propagation: by 

cuttings through about 10 generations to confirm the 

uniformity and stability of the selection. ‘Little Nikki’ will 

be commercially propagated vegetatively, as cuttings, from 

stock plants. Breeder: David Kent, Morayfield, QLD. 

Choice of Comparators ‘Silver Beauty’ with similar leaf 

shape and variegation and the common form of Lonicera 

nitida (the parent of the candidate variety) were chosen as 

the similar varieties of common knowledge. ‘Paradise 

Royal Flush’ and ‘Aurea’ initially considered as widely 

available varieties, however, were finally excluded as they 

lacked leaf variegation. 

Comparative Trial Comparators: ‘Silver Beauty’ and 

Lonicera nitida common form. Location: trials conducted at 

D&N Tubestock Nursery, Morayfield, QLD, Jul-Dec 1999.

media in cells in igloo, planted on 7 Aug 1999 on their own 

roots into 140mm pots into commercial 80:20 

pinebark/sand potting mix with normal osmocote: Plants 

were subsequently grown in full sun and watered as 

required. Trial design: forty pots of each variety were 

initially arranged in rows in four replicates. Measurements: 

twenty samples at random for each variety. One sample per 

plant. Leaf samples on the most recently matured leaf.

Origin and Breeding Controlled pollination: The final 

cross was made in 1986 between seed parent 79A078-14-10 

x pollen parent F1 of 84A041 (‘Gungurru’/CE2-1-1). The 

seed parent was characterised by higher phomopsis levels 

(score 3) and seed alkaloid levels (168% of standard), while 

‘Quilinock’ has lower phomopsis levels (score 6) and lower 

seed alkaloid levels (80% of standard). From this cross, 

‘Quilinock’ is a F7 derived single plant selection. The 

variety was selfed for 7 generations of selection and 

evaluation in small-scale breeder’s trials and 6 years 

performance testing in the Crop Variety Testing program 

run by Agriculture Western Australia. Selection criteria: 

increased grain-yield, grain quality, adaptation to low and 

medium rainfall zones of WA, SA, VIC and NSW. 

Propagation: by seed. Breeder: Dr Wallace Cowling and Dr 

J Gladstones, Agriculture Western Australia, South Perth, 

WA. 

Choice of Comparators ‘Gungurru’ and ‘Kalya’ A were 

chosen as comparators because they are both early 

flowering varieties similar to ‘Quilinock’. ‘Gungurru’ is 

also represented in the pollen parent of the candidate (F1 of 

‘Gungurru’/CE2-1-1) and ‘Kalya’ A (‘Warrah’/79A078-14- 

10) also shares the parent 79A078-14-10 with the 

candidate. Both comparators are varieties of common 

knowledge. 

Comparative Trial Comparators: ‘Gungurru’, ‘Kalya’ A . 


Northam, WA. Sown 2/6/99. Conditions: plants were raised 

in red loam pH 5.6 in CaCL2 in open beds. The plots were 

treated with glyphosate plus Bladex® at 2.2l/ha on 30/5/99. 

Hoegrass® at 1.5 l/ha on 1/7/99 and Sertin® at 250 ml/ha 

on 17/7/99 were applied for grass control. No treatment for 

disease or insect control was required. Agras No 1 w120 

kg/ha was drilled with the seed. Trial design: plants sown in 

randomised complete blocks 10 meters long by 1.42 meters 

wide (8 rows) by 2 replications. Measurements: taken from 

10 specimens per replicate selected from approximately 

2000 plants. One sample per plant.

‘Gala’ x pollen parent ‘Splendour’. The cross was made in 

1975 at Havelock North, New Zealand. Seed from the cross 

was planted and grown onto fruiting where seedling GS494 

was selected from the family for outstanding fruit quality. 

Trees were propagated onto clonal rootstock. GS494 was 

later commercially released as ‘Sciearly’. The new variety 

50



differs from the seed parent ‘Gala’ in the following 

combination of characteristics; earlier harvest timing, block 

colour pattern, larger size and from the pollen parent 

‘Splendour’ in the following combination of characteristics; 

earlier harvest timing, firmer flesh and thicker skin, darker 

in colour. Selection criteria: eating and storage quality. 

Propagation: vegetatively on clonal rootstock. Breeder: Dr 

Don McKenzie and Mr Alan White, The Horticulture and 

Food Research Institute of New Zealand Ltd, Palmerston 

North, New Zealand. 

Choice of Comparators ‘Royal Gala’ and ‘Splendour’ 

were considered as comparators as these are the similar 

varieties of common knowledge. ‘Splendour’ is also the 

pollen parent. ‘Royal Gala’ was chosen instead of ‘Gala’ 

(seed parent) because it is a highly coloured strain similar to 

the candidate, standard ‘Gala’ has very low colour therefore 

was excluded. ‘Red Delicious’ was initially considered but 

later excluded because of its oblong conical fruit shape. 

Comparative Trial The information is based on overseas 

data sourced from New Zealand Plant Variety Rights Office 

DUS Test Report. Testing was done at HortResearch, 

Havelock North, New Zealand between 1995-97. Where 

possible the characteristics were verified by the qualified 

person. The essential difference in fruit characteristics of 

‘Sciearly’ and the comparators are presented in the 

comparative table.

‘Gala’ x pollen parent ‘Splendour’. The cross was made in 

1975 at Havelock North, New Zealand. Seed from the cross 

was planted and grown onto fruiting where seedling GS58 

was selected from the family for outstanding fruit quality. 

Trees were propagated onto clonal rootstock. GS58 was 

later commercially released as ‘Scired’. The new variety 

differs from the seed parent ‘Gala’ in the following 

combination of characteristics; earlier harvest timing, block 

colour pattern and from the pollen parent ‘Splendour’ in the 

following combination of characteristics; earlier harvest 

timing, firmer flesh, darker in colour. Selection criteria: 

eating and storage quality. Propagation: vegetatively on 

clonal rootstock. Breeder: Dr Don McKenzie and Mr Alan 

White, The Horticulture and Food Research Institute of 

New Zealand Ltd, Palmerston North, New Zealand. 

Choice of Comparators ‘Royal Gala’ and ‘Splendour’ 

were considered as comparators as these are the similar 

varieties of common knowledge. ‘Splendour’ is also the 

pollen parent. ‘Royal Gala’ was chosen instead of ‘Gala’ 

(seed parent) because it is a highly coloured strain similar to 

the candidate, standard ‘Gala’ has very low colour therefore 

was excluded. ‘Red Delicious’ was initially considered but 

later excluded because of its moderately crisp fruit texture. 

Comparative Trial The information is based on overseas 

data sourced from New Zealand Plant Variety Rights Office 

DUS Test Report. Testing was done at HortResearch, 

Havelock North, New Zealand between 1995-97. Where 

possible the characteristics were verified by the qualified 

person. The essential difference in fruit characteristics of 

‘Scired’ and the comparators are presented in the 

comparative table.

‘Salado’ 

Application No: 1998/112 Accepted: 16 Jul 1998. 

Applicant: AgriPro Seeds, Inc., Shawnee Mission, Kansas, 

USA. 

Agent: SGB Australia, Melbourne, VIC. 

Characteristics (Table 33, Figure 53) Plant: habit erect 

leafy, height tall, strong autumn and spring growth, winter 

active. Stem: internodes medium. Leaf: leaflets length 

medium, width medium. Inflorescence: raceme. Flower: 

early, light to dark blue or purple. Salt tolerance: strong by 

germinating seedlings. 

Origin and Breeding Recurrent Phenotypic Selection: 

‘Salado’ was derived from an advanced breeding population 

selected for increased germination and forage yield under 

saline (NaCl) stress. ‘Salado’ arose after 14 cycles of 

selection for salt tolerance; nine for germination 

performance, two for vigour and post-germination 

performance, three for combined tolerance in germination 

and forage yield. Parental materials trace to ‘Mesa-Sirsa’ 

and two germplasm releases by the University of Arizona, 

‘AZ-Germ Salt-II’ and ‘AZ90NDC-ST’. ‘Salado’ differs 

from the parental materials in the level of salt tolerance. The 

final 3 cycles of phenotypic recurrent selection were based 

on modifications of procedures described in Crop Science 

29:493 and 31: 1098. The modification being that the two 

procedures were used in tandem, with increasing levels of 

salinity for each successive generation. ‘Salado’ is a 

synthetic cultivar derived from 200 plants in the final 

generation. Selection criteria: salt tolerance and forage 

yield. Propagation: seed. Breeder: Dr Al Dobrenz, 

University of Arizona, Tucson, USA. 

germination tests. ‘Salado’ was also compared in a field 

trial, with ‘Aquarius’ and ‘Siriver’, two widely grown 

varieties and ‘CUF 101’ an old standard variety. 

Comparators were selected on comparable high winter 

activity. 

Comparative Trials Comparators for germination tests in 

saline conditions: ‘CUF 101’, ‘Siriver’, ‘Trifecta’, ‘Sequel 

HR’, ‘Aquarius’, ‘Sceptre’, ‘Quadrella’, ‘Pioneer L69’, 

‘58N57’ (L90), ‘PR5939’, ‘Rapide’ and ‘Hallmark’. ‘AZ- 

Germ Salt- II’ is being used as a control. These are being 

conducted by Dr Steve Smith, Department of Plant 

Sciences, University of Arizona, Tucson, USA using the 

protocol of Rumbaugh (1991). Comparators for field trial: 

‘Aquarius’, ‘Siriver’ and ‘CUF 101’. Location: Canberra, 

ACT, established in June 1998. Trial design: 3 replicates 

each of 30 spaced plants in 7m rows. Measurements: taken 

from 20 randomly selected plants per replication during the 

1998-99 and 1999-2000 growing seasons.

RHS colour chart numbers refer to 1995 edition) 

Origin and Breeding Phenotypic selection: a seedling 

plant was selected in the orchard of the breeder in 1992, 

which was characterised by large fruit size and later 

maturity. From this plant, budwood was taken for grafting 

onto H29-C rootstock in VIC from which ‘Huon Pride’ has 

been developed. The parentage of the original seedling 

plant is not known and DNA tests show no genetic match 

with known commercial varieties. Selection criteria: large 

fruit, with late maturity time. Propagation: vegetatively by 

budwood. ‘Huon Pride’ will be commercially propagated by 

vegetative cuttings from the stock plants. Breeder: Laszlo 

Kocsis, Wattle Grove, TAS. 

Choice of Comparators ‘Tilton’ and ‘Hunter’ were 

considered for the comparative trial, as these are similar 

varieties of common knowledge. ‘Tilton’ is a widely 

available commercial variety, which has a very similar 

maturity time and fruiting characteristics. ‘Hunter’ was 

selected on the basis of its late maturity time. 

Comparative Trial Comparators: ‘Tilton’, ‘Hunter’. 

Location: Cobram, VIC 1996-99. Conditions: trees 4 years 

old, grafted onto H29-C rootstocks. Trees planted on 3m 

spacings as free standing specimens. Pest and disease 

treatments applied as required. Fertiliser and irrigation 

followed commercial practice. Trial design: randomised 

complete block design with five replicates. Two trees per 

plot. Measurements: taken from 20 samples per replicate. 


No prior applications. First sold in Australia 1997.

‘unnamed seedling’ x pollen parent ‘unnamed seedling’ in a 


Leersum, The Netherlands, in 1992. Both parents are 

proprietary breeding stock plants within breeder’s private 

collection. Selection criteria: selected on the basis of 

vigorous growth, high production, pure white colour. 

Propagation: by vegetative methods through many 

generations. Breeder: Mr. G. P Ilsink, Interplant B.V., 

Leersum, The Netherlands. 

Choice of Comparator ‘Tineke’ was initially considered as 

a comparator, however it was not finally included in the trial 

as it significantly differs from the candidate in stamen 

filament colour, which is yellow-green in ‘Tineke’ but white 

in ‘Interlene’. ‘Prebian’ A syn Bianca A was finally chosen 

as the sole comparator as it is in the opinion of the qualified 

person the most similar cut flower variety of common 

knowledge on the basis of flower colour. 

Comparative Trial Comparator: ‘Prebian’ A syn Bianca A . 

Location: Cranbourne, VIC, Jul – Dec 1999. Conditions: 

plants grown in the soil within environmentally controlled 

glasshouse. Measurements: 20 random samples of each 

variety collected over a five month period.

Breeder: Jacquelyn Coleman, Auckland, New Zealand. 

Choice of Comparators ‘Pink Mist’ A , ‘Passion’, ‘Pink 

Lace’ and ‘Mauve Delight’ were initially considered for the 

comparative trial as these are similar varieties of common 

knowledge. ‘Passion’ was excluded from the trial due to a 

taller growth habit with longer internodes. ‘Mauve Delight’ 

was excluded from the trial as it has mauve flower colour 

and ‘Pink Lace’ as it has a taller growth habit. ‘Pink Mist’ A 

was included due to its similar growth habit and flower 

colour. 

Comparative Trial Comparator: ‘Pink Mist’ A . Location: 

Kincumber, NSW, spring-summer 1999. Conditions: trial 

conducted open beds, plants propagated from cutting, 

rooted cuttings planted into 140mm pots filled with soilless

seedling selection: arose as an open pollinated seedling in a 

bed of Sutera ‘Snowflake’. The new variety was selected 

from 17 other seedlings due to its distinctly different violet 

flower colour. The parental variety is white flowered and 

shares similar growth habit. There were no other violet 

coloured Sutera present. Selection took place in Macquarie 

Fields, NSW in 1995. Selection criteria: violet flower 

colour and performance in Sydney region. Propagation: a 

number of mature stock plants were generated from this 

seedling through vegetative cuttings and were found to be 

uniform and stable. ‘Lavender Showers’ will be 

commercially propagated by vegetative cuttings and

‘Frontier’ was developed through 3, and in some cases 4 

cycles of single plant selection from ‘Paradana’. Selection 

commenced in 1989 when 32 early flowering plants were 

identified in ‘Paradana’ (17 plants) and line WA 426B (15 

plants). WA 426B is also a selection made within 

‘Paradana’ by R. Snowball, Australian Trifolium Genetic 

Resource Centre, Perth. Seed was collected from these 

selections and re-sown in rows in 1990 to confirm flowering 

dates and for seed increase. In 1991, seed from the 15 

earliest flowering lines was re-sown, with 23 new selections 

being made on the basis of early maturity. In addition, in 

1991 another 20 early flowering plants were identified in 

new sown ‘Paradana’ pastures. In 1992, seed of each of the 

1991 selections (43) was sown in rows and 50 selections 

made on the basis of early flowering and plant vigour. This 

process was repeated in 1993 (55 selections made). The 

1993 selections were grown at Pinnaroo, South Australia in 

1995 and assessed for maturity and dry matter yield. Thirty 

lines were retained and entered into a 3-year national 

evaluation. Upon completion, 20 of the 30 lines under test 

were selected and “bulked” in equal quantities to form 

‘Frontier’. ‘Frontier’ differs from the parental variety 

‘Paradana’ in that it is earlier flowering, it has different leaf 

markings and degrees of leaf serration and its main stem 

elongates earlier than that of ‘Paradana’. ‘Frontier’ also 

produces heavier seed than ‘Paradana’. ‘Frontier’ is a 

composite cultivar of 20 individual lines. Selection criteria: 

early flowering and improved plant vigour. Propagation : 

seed. Breeder: A. D. Craig, Naracoorte, SA. 

Choice of Comparators ‘Paradana’ and ‘Bolta’ were 

selected as comparators as they represent the only two 

balansa clover cultivars of common knowledge. 

Comparative Trial Comparators: ‘Paradana’, ‘Bolta’. 

Location: Naracoorte, SA (36°54´S., 140°56É.), conducted 

over winter-spring-summer 1999/2000. Conditions: single 

plants (28 per replicate) sown and maintained in a 

glasshouse for six weeks prior to planting in the field on 31 

Aug 1999. Fertilised in the glasshouse with foliar nutrients. 

Single plants sown 1m apart. Field plots (3m x 1m) sown at 

30 kg/ha seed on 27 Jun 1999 and fertilised on 10 Aug 1999 

with superphosphate (9% phosphorus) at 100 kg/ha. Trial 

design: single plants and field plots sown using a 

completely randomised block design, each with five 

replicates. Measurements: vivid pink leaf markings, leaf 

serration and length of main stem determined on single 

spaced plants. Date of full flower, white/silver central leaf 

markings and seed mass determined from replicated plots 

(swards). Leaf markings and degree of leaf serration 

determined as “counts”.

Persian Clover 

‘Lightning’ 


Applicant: SEEDCO, Hilton, SA. 

Characteristics (Table 52, Figure 57) Plant: glabrous 

annual, rosette as seedlings, later erect to decumbent, height 

medium tall, medium maturity. Stems: few, to 80cm long, 

branched and hollow. Leaf: trifoliate, petioles long, leaflets 

vary in size and shape from ovate to wedge shaped, hairless, 

strongly veined and solid green, margins finely toothed. 

Inflorescence: small, globular on peduncles in leaf axils. 

Flower: sub-sessile, pink petals, strongly scented and crosspollinated. 

Pod: woolly, bladder like. Seeds: very small, 

seedcoat dark brown or yellow. 


recurrent mass selection: In 1993, plants of ‘Laser’, 

‘Leeton’, ‘Stemher’ and ‘Accadia’ were grown in pots in a 

glasshouse. They were induced to flower together through 

serial sowing and an extended photoperiod provided by 

incandescent lights. When flowering began, plants were 

removed from the glasshouse to allow cross pollination by 

bees. Open pollinated seed was harvested and resown. 

Plants were again cross pollinated by bees and seed was 

harvested from the earliest flowering plants. In the second 

and third generations, plants were selected on seedling 

vigour, early flowering and maturity, fine stems and high 

seed yield in the field in South Australia. Seed of selected 

plants was bulked for seed increase and evaluation in 

swards. Propagation: seed. Breeder: Dr. Ross Downes, 

Canberra, ACT. 

are medium late flowering (186 days), ‘Stemher’ is early 

(168 days) and ‘Lightning’ is very early (161 days). 

‘Accadia’ and ‘Lupers’ were not included because they are 

not grown in Australia and are extremely late flowering. In 

addition ‘Accadia’ has much larger seeds (0.17gm per 100 

seeds) than ‘Lightning’ (0.13gm per 100 seeds). For 

glasshouse assessment of rust resistance, European varieties 

‘Felix’, ‘Stemher’, ‘Lupers’ and ‘Archibald’ were 

considered in addition to the field-grown comparators. 

Comparative Trial Comparators: ‘Leeton’, ‘Laser’ and 

‘Maral’. Location: field trial sown at the Struan Agricultural 

Research Station, Naracoorte, South Australia on 6 Jun 

1997. Conditions: spaced plants in the field with 

observations on 15 plants from each of 4 replications. Rust 

resistance trial: screening for resistance to Uromyces 

trifolii-repentis was conducted by Mark Ramsay et al 

(SARDI). The trial was sown 2 Oct 1998 in a completely 

randomised design with 8 entries and 4 replications. Plants 

were inoculated 29 Oct 1998 and rated for rust infection on 

14 December 1998. The rating scale was based on that of 

Trapero-Casas and Kaiser (1992) with a rating of 0 having 

0% of leaf areas infected and 9 with 95-100% leaf area 

infected.

‘Antas’ 



Foraggere, Lodi, Italy. 

Agent: SEEDCO, Hilton, SA. 

Characteristics (Table 53, Figure 54) Seedling: moderately 

upright, medium to large, vigorous. Plant: dense, spreading, 

prostrate to semi-prostrate, late maturing. Stem: glabrous 

with rare hairs, green, some red (anthocyanin) pigmentation 

where exposed to sun in spring. Petioles: sparsely to 

moderately pubescent, green or with red pigmentation as 

for stems. Leaf: large, moderately pubescent lower, sparsely 

pubescent upper surface. Leaf mark: pale green crescent 

and arms (C 1 A 1-2 type, Nicholls et al, 1996), but crescent 

may be faint or absent in some stages, no fleck or flush. 

Stipules: green with lower red pigmented veins. Peduncle: 

medium to long, moderately pubescent, green or red 

pigmented where exposed to sun. Inflorescence: spikelet of 

4 to 5 florets, white to pink. Seed: large, black or dark 

purplish-brown. Burr: burial poor, calyx teeth moderately 

pubescent. 

Origin and Breeding Phenotypic selection: selection from 

a variable population designated as EP 19, segregating for 

flowering time, growth habit and leaf markers. Segregates 

were isolated, multiplied and trialed over 10 years and 

tested for persistance and seed yield in Sardinia. A number 

of elite lines were selected and then tested in various trials 

in Western Australia. One line, EP 19 brachy E was found 

to produce more herbage and burr, to have a higher 

percentage of hard seed at harvest and to regenerate more 

strongly than ‘Clare’. EP 19 brachy E was then used to 

develop the uniform single line, ‘Antas’ through single plant 

selection. Selection criteria: winter vigour, dry matter yield, 

seed and burr yield, regeneration, persistence. Propagation: 

by seed. Breeder: Dr Efisio Piano and staff, Istituto 

Sperimentale per le Colture Foraggere, Lodi, Italy. 

Choice of Comparators ‘Rosedale’, ‘Clare’ and ‘Nuba’ A 

were initially considered for the comparative trial as these 

are the only commonly available varieties of Trifolium 

subterraneum ssp brachycalicinum. ‘Rosedale’ was 

excluded as a comparator, as it is clearly distinguishable 

from ‘Antas’ in having cream to white seeds (‘Antas’ has 

dark purplish-brown to black seeds) and flowers over three 

weeks earlier than ‘Antas’. ‘Clare’ and ‘Nuba’ A have 

similar seed colour to and in most circumstances flower 

within 10 days of ‘Antas’, and were therefore chosen as 

comparators. The original source material (EP 19) was not 

considered because it is a heterogenous population and does 

not have well-defined C 1 A 1-2 type leaf markings. 

Comparative Trial Comparators: ‘Clare’, ‘Nuba’ A . 

Location: Currency Creek, about 75km SSE of Adelaide, 

SA, between Jun and Nov 1999. Conditions: trial conducted 

in the field. The soil was a moderately fertile, free draining 

sandy loam of approximately pH 6. A single spring 

irrigation of approximately 40mm rainfall equivalent was 

applied in mid Oct to allow plots to mature with minimum 

water stress. No chemical or fertiliser treatments were used 

and plots were hand weeded as required. Trial design: a 

randomised complete block with 4 replicates, each of 10 

plants. Plants were seeded and raised in Jiffy 7 pellets in a 

shadehouse, and then transplanted into the field at 

approximately 4 weeks of age in late Jun, 1999. Each 

replicate was comprised of 10 plants in 4 rows, with 20 cm 

between plants and 50 cm between rows. Measurements: 

from all plants.

‘Campeda’ 



Foraggere, Lodi, Italy. 

Agent: SEEDCO, Hilton, SA. 

Characteristics (Table 54, Figure 55) Seedling: semiprostrate, 

medium. Plant: dense, spreading, prostrate, mid 

season maturing. Stem: glabrous, green, not (anthocyanin) 

pigmented. Petioles: glabrous, rare single hairs, green, not 

pigmented. Stipules: medium, pubescent, pale green, 

prominent red pigmented veins. Leaf: medium, moderately 

pubescent lower, sparsely pubescent upper surface. Leaf 

mark: pale green crescent and arms (C 2 A 2-3 type, Nicholls 

et al), moderate to strong red-brown anthocyanin flush 

about midrib below crescent, slight to moderate 

anthocyanin flecking. Peduncle: medium length, 

moderately pubescent, green. Inflorescence: spikelet of 4 

florets. Calyx: pale green, no red pigmentation. Corolla: 

white to cream, red veining sometimes visible on standard. 

Seed: medium, black, 4/burr (1/floret). Burr burial: fair to 

good. 

Origin and Breeding Phenotypic selection: selection from 

a variable population designated as EP 56, segregating for 

flowering time, growth habit and leaf markers. Segregates 

were isolated, multiplied and trialed for 10 years and tested 

under grazing condition for seed yield, regeneration density 

and persistence in Sardinia. A number of elite lines were 

selected and then tested in various trials in Western 

Australia. One line, EP 56 sub B was found to have greater 

early season herbage and sward density than all control 

mid-season cultivars. It was also shown to have superior 

seed yield (weight and number of seed) and hard seed 

levels. EP 56 sub B was then used to develop the uniform 

single line, ‘Campeda’, through single plant selection. 

Selection criteria: winter vigour, dry matter yield, seed 

yield, hard seededness, regeneration density, persistence. 

Propagation: by seed. Breeder: Dr Efisio Piano and staff, 

Istituto Sperimentale per le Colture Foraggere, Lodi, Italy. 

Choice of Comparators ‘Enfield’, ‘Esperance’, ‘Junee’, 

‘Green Range’ and ‘Woogenellup’ were all initially 

considered for the comparative trial, as all of these cultivars 

are of broadly similar maturity to ‘Campeda’. However, 

‘Enfield’ was excluded because it is very soft seeded 

(‘Campeda’ being relatively hard seeded), while ‘Green 

Range’ and ‘Woogenellup’ both flower a week later than 

‘Campeda’. All three of these potential comparators also 

have distinctly different individual leaf marks when 

compared to ‘Campeda’. Hence, ‘Esperance’ and ‘Junee’ 

were selected as comparators, as they are the closest in 

maturity to ‘Campeda’. The original source material (EP 

56) was not considered because it is a heterogenous 

population having taller plant heights and later maturity. 

Comparative Trial Comparators: ‘Junee’, ‘Esperance’. 

Location: Currency Creek, about 75km SSE of Adelaide, 

SA, between Jun and Nov 1999. Conditions: trial conducted 

in the field. The soil was a moderately fertile, free draining

BD225 (‘Cook’*2/ ‘Millewa’//TM56) x pollen parent 

CD87 (‘Pavon’S’/‘Condor’). The seed parent BD225 is 

moderately susceptible to leaf rust, ‘Chara’ has moderate 

resistance to leaf rust. The pollen parent CD87 is 

susceptible to CCN ‘Chara’ is resistant to CCN. The 

original cross was made in 1988 at VIDA, Horsham, 

Victoria, single plants selected in the F 2 and F 2 derived F 3 

lines were evaluated for disease resistance and agronomic 

type. Single spike selections were taken in F 4 and again in 

F 9 to ensure uniformity for disease resistance and 

agronomic characteristics. Selection criteria: Stem, leaf and 

stripe rust resistance, resistance to CCN, agronomic 

adaptation to southern New South Wales, central and north 

eastern Victoria. Propagation: by seed. Breeder: Peter 

Martin, Agriculture Victoria Services, Horsham, VIC. 

Choice of Comparators ‘Condor’ was chosen as a 

comparator because it is a semi dwarf, white chaffed, fully 

awned spring wheat of medium to late maturity similar to 

the candidate. ‘Condor’ is used extensively in the seed 

parent BD225 (Cook*2/Millewa//TM56) via TM56 

(Aus10894/4*Condor) and in the pollen parent CD87 

(‘Pavon’S’/Condor). ‘Mira’ was chosen as a comparator 

because it is also a semi dwarf, spring wheat of similar 

mature height to the candidate. ‘Mira’ has a similar pedigree 

to ‘Chara’ via its pollen parent XD85 

(TM56/Agent//4*Condor). Both comparators are varieties 

of common knowledge. ‘Cocamba’ (a sister line of TM56) 

was initially considered but later was excluded because it is 

susceptible to stem rust and leaf rust.

‘Spear’ x pollen parent 79W:781 (fixed line 

‘Bodallin’/‘Eradu’) in a planned breeding program. The 

seed parent is a white chaffed, fully awned spring wheat as 

is ‘Karlgarin’. The pollen parent is a soft grained, white 

chaffed, fully awned spring wheat. ‘Karlgarin’ is a hard 

grained wheat. The original cross was made in 1987 and the 

variety was developed by the F 2 bulk progeny method. The 

F 2 selection was carried out in 1988 with reselection at F 5 

in 1991. Selection criteria: grain yield, grain quality, 

tolerance to soil Boron and Aluminium. Propagation: by 

seed through 5 generations of selection and testing in small 

scale breeders trials and 7 generations of performance 

testing by Agriculture Western Australia’s Crop Variety 

Testing Program in various regional locations in Western 

Australia. Breeder: Dr Iain Barclay, Agriculture Western 


Choice of Comparators ‘Spear’ was chosen as comparator 

because it is a white chaffed, fully awned, spring wheat of 

similar mature height to ‘Karlgarin’. ‘Spear’ is also the seed 

parent of ‘Karlgarin’. ‘Bodallin’ was chosen as comparator 

because it is a hard grained, white chaffed, fully awned,

QT3765 x pollen parent ‘Sunco’ in a planned breeding 

program in 1987. The selected F 5 line designated as 

QT7029, grown in 1993, comprised the progeny of a single 

F4 plant. Five years of selection and/or evaluation, including 

field performance testing, milling, baking quality and 

disease resistance evaluation, and removal of off-types from 

QT7029 have occurred since 1993. QT7029 was renamed 

‘Lang’ in 1999. ‘Lang’ was developed as a typically 

intermediate maturing winter-sown wheat well adapted to 

the northern wheat-growing region of Australia. Selection 

criteria: high yield, good agronomic characteristics and 

high disease resistance. Propagation: seed produced by selfpollination 

through at least two generations. Breeders: P S 

Brennan and J A Sheppard, Department of Primary 

Industries, Toowoomba, QLD. 

Choice of Comparators The seed parent QT3765 was a 

breeding line within the same breeding program, 

undergoing trial in 1987. It was subsequently discarded 

from the program, and seed is no longer available. The 

pollen parent ‘Sunco’ is a current variety with good 

agronomic performance in its agroecological range, and 

good yellow alkaline noodle quality characteristics. ‘Lang’ 

appears to have a higher yield but similar quality 

characteristics to ‘Sunco’. ‘Cunningham’ was selected as 

76



the other comparator, as it is believed to be morphologically 

and phenologically similar to ‘Lang’. ‘Lang’ is expected to 

have a similar agroecological range to ‘Cunningham’, 

which is the dominant variety in its agroecological range 

and maturity class. 

Comparative Trial Comparator(s): ‘Sunco’, 

‘Cunningham’. Location: Wellcamp Farm, Wellcamp, 

Jondaryan shire, QLD, Jul – Nov 1999. Conditions: plants 

were raised in well fertilised, irrigated soil in open beds. 

Trial design: three-row plots of approximately 200 plants 

each, with two different seed sources (representing different 

generations) of ‘Lang’, arranged in a randomised block 

with five replications. Measurements: taken from 5 

specimens selected at random from each plot, except for 

height, which was measured for the plot overall. Variation in 

height was measured from 10 plants from each of two 

replication and two generations.

CW-PC#162/‘Matong’ x pollen parent XD85 (TM56/ 

‘Agent’//4*‘Condor’) in a planned breeding program. The 

seed parent is susceptible to CCN while ‘Mira’ is resistant 

to CCN. The original cross was made in 1986 at Victorian 

Institute for Dryland Agriculture (VIDA), Horsham, VIC, 

single plants selected in the F 2 and F 2 derived F 3 lines were 

evaluated for disease resistance and agronomic type. Single 

spike selections were taken in F 4 and again in F 8 (100) as 

the line was segregating for CCN resistance. From these 

selections in F 9 one line was selected for superior CCN 

resistance and became VG127*14. A further 100 single 

spike selection was made at F 12 , 50 of these were retained 

at F 15 for uniformity in disease resistance and agronomic 

type. Selection criteria: resistance to CCN, resistance to 

stem, leaf and stripe rust, agronomic adaptation to clay and 

mallee soils of Victoria and southern New South Wales. 

Propagation: by seed. Breeder: Peter Martin, Agriculture 

Victoria Services Pty Ltd, Horsham, VIC. 

Choice of Comparators ‘Condor’ was chosen as a 

comparator because it is a semi dwarf, white chaffed, fully 

awned spring wheat similar to the candidate variety ‘Mira’. 

‘Condor’ was used extensively in the pollen parent XD85 

(TM56/‘Agent’//4*‘Condor’). ‘Chara’ was chosen as a 

comparator because it is a semi-dwarf, spring wheat of 

similar mature height to the candidate. ‘Chara’ has a similar 

pedigree to ‘Mira’ via its pollen parent BD225 

(Cook*2/Millewa//TM56). Both comparators are varieties 

of common knowledge. 

Comparative Trial Comparators: ‘Condor’, ‘Chara’.

‘Vasco’ x pollen parent ‘Batavia’ in a planned breeding 

program in 1988. The selected F 5 line designated as 

QT7634, grown in 1994, comprised the progeny of a single 

F 4 plant. Five years of selection and/or evaluation, including 

field performance testing, milling, baking quality and 

disease resistance evaluation, and removal of off-types from 

QT7634 have occurred since 1994. QT7634 was renamed 

‘Petrie’ in 1999. ‘Petrie’ was developed as a typically 

intermediate maturing winter-sown wheat well adapted to 

the northern wheat-growing region of Australia. Selection 

criteria: high yield, good agronomic characteristics and 

high disease resistance, desirable export quality. 

Propagation: seed produced by self-pollination through at 

least two generations. Breeders: P M Banks and P S 

Brennan, Department of Primary Industries, Toowoomba, 

QLD. 

Choice of Comparators The seed parent ‘Vasco’ is a 

released slow-maturing variety, which has become 

outclassed. The male parent ‘Batavia’ is a current slowmaturing 

variety with good agronomic performance in its 

agroecological range, and good export milling and baking 

quality characteristics. ‘Sunvale’ A was selected as the other 

comparator, as ‘Petrie’ is believed to have a similar yield to 

‘Sunvale’ A , and a maturity between ‘Sunvale’ A and 

‘Batavia’. ‘Petrie’ is expected to have a similar 

agroecological range to ‘Batavia’ and ‘Sunvale’ A . 

Comparative Trial Comparator(s): ‘Vasco’, ‘Batavia’ and 

‘Sunvale’ A . Location: Wellcamp Farm, Wellcamp, 

Jondaryan shire, QLD, Jul – Nov 1999. Conditions: plants 

were raised in well fertilised, irrigated soil in open beds. 

Trial design: three-row plots of approximately 200 plants 

each variety, with two different seed sources (representing 

different generations) of ‘Petrie’, arranged in a randomised 

block with five replications. Measurements: taken from 5 

specimens selected at random from each plot, except for 

height, which was measured for the plot overall. Variation in 

height was measured from 10 plants from each of two

Choice of comparators The pollen parent ‘Osprey’ was 

included in the comparative trial because it is a variety of 

common knowledge with similar seasonal type, growth 

habit and grain quality classification. ‘Rosella’ and 

‘Sunbrook’ A were also included, as these are commonly 

grown similar winter type varieties. ‘Lawson’ and 

‘Patterson’ were excluded, as these are red grained varieties. 

‘Whistler’ was not considered as it is classified as ASW 

quality grade. ‘Sunsoft 98’ was excluded for it’s soft grain 

classification. 

Comparative Trial Comparators: ‘Osprey’, ‘Rosella’ and 

‘Sunbrook’ A . Location: trial conducted at Temora 

Agricultural Research and Advisory Station, Temora, NSW, 

winter-spring 1999. Conditions: sown into red clay soils on 

good moisture at 40kg/ha seeding rate with 100kg/ha of

Origin and Breeding Controlled pollination: bi-parental 

cross was made in 1984 between seed parent M3458 and 

pollen parent ‘Osprey’ in a planned breeding program. Both 

parents were developed by NSW Agriculture. The seed 

parent was a non-commercial breeding line, which was 

never released and the pollen parent is a commercial variety 

characterised by similar seasonal type, growth habit and 

grain quality classification. F 1 seed was grown over summer 

of 1984-85. One hundred and forty seven single heads were 

selected from F 2 population in 1985. These were bulked and 

sown as selection rows in F 3 in 1987. Pedigree selection for 

height, straw strength, disease resistance and maturity was 

conducted from F 3 to F 5 generations. Five hundred and 

twenty six single head selections from the F 5 rows were 

sown in the F 6 . Sixty-three of these were harvested as a bulk 

for further evaluation. Unreplicated experiments were 

grown to establish yield potential, quality and disease 

resistance. Selection criteria: high yield, disease resistance, 

grain quality and growth habit. Propagation: by seed.

‘Tetraprelude’ x pollen parent ‘Waitohi’ in a planned 

breeding program in 1987 in New Zealand. The seed parent 

is characterised by very short plant height and the pollen 

parent is characterised by white awn colour. F 1 was sown 

out in the field in 1988. Pedigree selection was done within 

F 2 -F 3 generations in 1989 and 1990. In 1991, single plant 

selection was continued within the pedigree generation and 

selection number 23 was selected to become the breeding 

line 4210.23. In 1992 and 1993 it was sown as an 

observation plot. It first entered NZ trials in 1994 as an F 7 , 

trial code 94SHA#4. Seed was rogued and pure seed sent to 

Australia, which was later named as ‘Arrivato’. Selection 

criteria: maturity, yield and awn colour. Propagation: by 

seed. Breeder: Dr. Don Wright, New Zealand Institute for 

Crop and Food Research Ltd, Lincoln, New Zealand. 

Choice of Comparators ‘Tamaroi’ was chosen as a 

comparator because of its similarity in maturity. ‘Yallaroi’ 

and ‘Kronos’ where chosen because these are similar 

varieties of common knowledge in terms of height, maturity 

and growth habit. ‘Kamillaroi’ and ‘Wallaroi’ were 

excluded because these are white awned varieties and the 

candidate has light brown awn colour. The parents were not 

included on the basis of characteristics as stated above. 

Comparative Trial Comparators: ‘Tamaroi’, ‘Kronos’ and 

‘Yallaroi’. Location: Howlong, NSW. Conditions: trial 

conducted in open plots under normal cultural practices. 

Trial design: 5m x 1.2m plots replicated 4 times in a 

randomized complete block design. Measurements: taken 

from 10 plants within each plot giving a total of 40 

measurements for each entry.

breeding program in 1987 in New Zealand. The seed parent 

is characterised by very short plant height and the pollen 

parent is characterised by white awn colour. F 1 was sown 

out in the field in 1988. Pedigree selection was done within 

F 2 -F 3 generations in 1989 and 1990. In 1991, single plant 

selection was continued within the pedigree generation and 

selection number 23 was selected to become the breeding 

line 4210.23. In 1992 and 1993 it was sown as an 

observation plot. It first entered NZ trials in 1994. In 1995, 

the original segregating bulk population was sent to 

Australia. Fifteen plants were selected for awn colour and 

later maturity and grain yield and the selection number 6 

was later coded as line 4210.23.6. This line entered trials in 

Australia in 1997 Selection criteria: maturity, yield and awn 

colour. Propagation: by seed. Breeder: Dr. Don Wright, 

New Zealand Institute for Crop and Food Research Ltd, 

Lincoln, New Zealand. 

Choice of Comparators ‘Tamaroi’ was chosen as a 

comparator because of its similarity in growth habit. 

‘Yallaroi’ and ‘Kronos’ where chosen because these are 

similar varieties of common knowledge in terms of height 

and growth habit. ‘Kamillaroi’ and ‘Wallaroi’ were 

excluded because these are white awned varieties and the 

81


candidate has brown awn colour. The parents were not 

included on the basis of characteristics as stated above. The 

candidate is distinguishable from its sister line ‘Arrivato’ in 

terms of later maturity and very strong hairiness of the 

lower glume. 

Comparative Trial Comparators: ‘Tamaroi’, ‘Kronos’ and 

‘Yallaroi’. Location: Howlong, NSW. Conditions: trial 

conducted in open plots under normal cultural practices. 

Trial design: 5m x 1.2m plots replicated 4 times in a 

randomized complete block design. Measurements: taken 

from 10 plants within each plot giving a total of 40 

measurements for each entry. 

Prior Application and Sales Nil.

APPENDIX 1 

FEES 

Two fee structures exist as a result of the transition from 

Plant Variety Rights to Plant Breeders Rights. 

For new applications (those lodged on or after 11 November 

1994) the PBR fees apply. For older applications lodged 

before 11 November 1994 and not finally disposed of 

(Granted, Withdrawn, Refused etc.) the PVR fees in force at 

the time apply. 

The Treasurer has determined that all statutory fees under 

PBR regulations will be exempted from GST. 

Payment of Fees 

All cheques for fees should be made payable and sent to: 

Collector of Public Monies 

C/-Plant Breeders Rights Office 

GPO Box 858 

Canberra, ACT 2601 

The application fee ($300) must accompany the 

application at the time of lodgement. 

Consequences of not paying fees when due 

Application fee 

Should an application not be accompanied by the prescribed 

application fee the application will be deemed to be ‘nonvalid’ 

and neither assigned an application number nor 

examined for acceptance pending the payment of the fee. 

Examination fee 

Non-payment of the examination fee of an application will 

automatically result, at the end of 12 months from the date 

of acceptance, in a refusal of the application. The 

consequences of refusal are the same as for applications 

deemed to be inactive (see ‘inactive applications’ below). 

Field examinations and final examinations falling within the 

first 12 months will not be undertaken without prior 

payment of the examination fee. 

Consideration of a request for an extension of the period of 

provisional protection from the initial 12 month period may 

require the prior payment of the examination fee. 

Certificate fee 

Following the successful completion of the examination, 

including the public notice period, the applicant will be 

required and invoiced to pay the certification fee. Payment 

of the certification fee is a prerequisite to granting PBR and 

issuing the official certificate by the PBR office. Failure to 

pay the fee may result in a refusal to grant PBR. 

Annual fee 

Should an annual renewal fee not be paid within 30 days 

after the due date, the grant of PBR will be revoked under 

Section 50 of the PBR Act. To assist grantees, the PBR 

office will invoice grantees or their Australian agents for 

renewal fees. 

91


Inactive applications 

An application will be deemed inactive if, after 24 months 

of provisional protection (or 12 months in the case of nonpayment 

of the examination fee) the PBR Office has not 

received a completed application or has not been advised to 

proceed with the examination or an extension of provisional 

protection has not been requested or not granted or a 

certificate fee has not been paid. Inactive applications will 

be examined and, should they not fully comply with Section 

44 of the PBR Act 1994, they will be refused. As a result 

provisional protection will lapse, priority claims on that 

variety will be lost and should the variety have been sold, it 

will be ineligible for plant breeders rights on reapplication. 

Continued use of labels or any other means to falsely imply 

that a variety is protected after the application has been 

refused is an offence under Section 75 of the Act.

Comments on the technical operation of, or amendments to, 

the Plant Breeder’s Rights Act 1994, particularly 

applications under section 17(2), should be directed through 

the Chairman. 

26th MEETING OF THE PLANT BREEDER’S 

RIGHTS ADVISORY COMMITTEE (PBRAC) 

The 26th meeting of the Plant Breeder’s Rights Advisory 

Committee (PBRAC) was held in Canberra on 16 

September 1999. All PBRAC members attended. 

Key matters discussed were: 

High Court actions related to the Plant Breeder’s Rights 

Act 1994 (PBRA) due to be heard on 5/6 October and 

proposed amendments to the PBRA. PBRAC noted 

developments and agreed that proposed draft amendments 

to the PBRA should remove the source of legal conflict and 

had the potential to gain the support of the contesting 

parties. 

PBRAC recommended: The potential impact of an 

amended PBRA should be brought to the attention of other 

statutory marketing organisations, such as the Australian 

Wine and Brandy Corporation and the Australian 

Horticultural Corporation. 

Disruptive approaches affecting the productivity of the 

Plant Breeder’s Rights Office (PBRO). PBRAC 

considered that frequent, ill-prepared objections under the 

scheme were disrupting the work of the PBRO. 

PBRAC recommended: The PBRO should adopt a 

minimalist response to such objections and establish an 

advance fee system for the lodgement of objections. 

Plant Industries Committee Task Force survey 

recommendations on the PBRA. The terms of reference 

were to research and collate the experiences of jurisdictions 

with PBRA to date; to identify commercial opportunities to 

implement End Point Royalties; and to examine the need 

for and desirability of amending the PBRA. PBRAC 

broadly supported the draft recommendations of the PIC 

which is to present a final report to the Standing Committee 

on Agriculture and Regional Management (SCARM) in 

March 2000. 

PBRAC recommended: A key recommendation was to 

amend the PBRA to allow for the payment of ‘equitable 

remuneration’ for plant breeders (through End Point 

Royalties) when the breeder’s right is restricted in the 

public interest. 

International Convention for the Protection of New Plant 

Varieties (UPOV) developments. PBRAC noted that 

membership of UPOV had now risen to 44 contracting 

parties with an increasing number accepting UPOV 91 

obligations. 

PBRAC recommended. Australia should accede to UPOV 

91 as soon as possible. 

93


Administrative matters including harmonisation with 

other UPOV countries (particularly New Zealand), the 

budgetary position and the structure of fees. 

PBRAC recommended. If possible Australia’s PBR 

procedures to be harmonised over time with those of New 

Zealand. PBRO should undertake an analysis on possible 

changes to fees for bulk renewals/forward payments. 

PBRO should examine the feasibility of establishment of a 

contingency fund. 

APPENDIX 3 

INDEX OF ACCREDITED CONSULTANT 

‘QUALIFIED PERSONS’ 

The following persons have been accredited by the PBR 

office based on information provided by these persons. 

From the information provided by the applicants, the PBR 

office believes that these people can fulfil the role of 

‘qualified person’ in the application for plant breeder’s 

rights. Neither accreditation nor publication of a name in 

the list of persons is an implicit recommendation of the 

person so listed. The PBR office cannot be held liable for 

damages that may arise from the omission or inclusion of a 

person’s name in the list nor does it assume any 

responsibility for losses or damages arising from 

agreements entered into between applicants and any person 

in the list of accredited persons. Qualified persons charge a 

fee for services rendered. 

A guide to the use of the index of consultants: 

• locate in the left column of Table 1 the plant group for 

which you are applying; 

• listed in the right column are the names of accredited 

qualified persons from which you can choose a 

consultant; 

• in Table 2 find that consultant’s name, telephone number 

and area in which they are willing to consult (they may 

consult outside the nominated area); 

• using the “Nomination of Qualified Person” form as a 

guide, agree provisionally on the scope and terms of the 

consultancy; complete the form and attach it to Part 1 of 

the application form; 

• when you are notified that your nomination of a 

consultant qualified person is acceptable in the letter of 

acceptance of your application for PBR you should 

again consult the qualified person when planning the 

rest of the application for PBR.

5 Has already amended its law to 

conform to the 1991 Act; most other 

states are in the process of doing so. 

APPENDIX 6 

CENTRALISED TESTING CENTRES 

Under Plant Breeder’s Rights Regulations introduced in 

1996, establishments may be officially authorised by the 

PBR office to conduct test growings. An authorised 

establishment will be known as Centralised Test Centre 

(CTC). 

Usually, the implementation of PBR in Australia relies on a 

‘breeder testing’ system in which the applicant, in 

conjunction with a nominated Qualified Person (QP), 

establishes, conducts and reports a comparative trial. More 

often than not, trials by several breeders are being 

conducted concurrently at different sites. This makes valid 

comparisons difficult and often results in costly duplication. 

While the current system is and will remain satisfactory, 

other optional testing methods are now available which will 

add flexibility to the PBR process. 

Centralised Testing is one such optional system. It is based 

upon the authorisation of private or public establishments to 

test one or more genera of plants. Applicants can choose to 

submit their varieties for testing by a CTC or continue to do 

the test themselves. Remember, using a CTC to test your 

variety is voluntary. 

The use of CTCs recognises the advantages of testing a 

larger number of candidate varieties (with a larger number 

of comparators) in a single comprehensive trial. Not only is 

there an increase in scientific rigour but there are substantial 

economies of scale and commensurate cost savings. A CTC 

will establish, conduct and report each trial on behalf of the 

applicant. 

103


The PBR office has amended its fees so that cost savings 

can be passed to applicants who choose to test their varieties 

in a CTC. Accordingly, when 5 or more candidate varieties 

of the same genus are tested simultaneously, each will 

qualify for the CTC examination fee of $800. This is a 

saving of nearly 40% over the normal fee of $1400. 

Trials containing less than 5 candidate varieties capable of 

being examined simultaneously will not be considered as 

Centralised test trials regardless of the authorisation of the 

facility. Candidate varieties in non-qualifying small trials 

will not qualify for CTC reduction of examination fees. 

Establishments wishing to be authorised as a CTC may 

apply in writing to the PBR office outlining their claims 

against the selection criteria. Initially, only one CTC will be 

authorised for each genus. Exemptions to this rule can be 

claimed due to special circumstances, industry needs and 

quarantine regulations. Authorisations will be reviewed 

periodically. 

Authorisation of CTCs is not aimed solely at large research 

institutions. Smaller establishments with appropriate 

facilities and experience, can also apply for CTC status. 

There is no cost for authorisation as a CTC. 

APPLICATIONS FOR AUTHORISATION AS A 

‘CENTRALISED TESTING CENTRE’ 

Establishments interested in gaining authorisation as a 

Centralised Testing Centre should apply in writing 

addressing each of the Conditions and Selection Criteria 

outlined below. 

Conditions and Selection Criteria 

To be authorised as a CTC, the following conditions and 

criteria will need to be met: 

Appropriate facilities 

While in part determined by the genera being tested, all 

establishments must have facilities that allow the conduct 

and completion of moderate to large scale scientific 

experiments without undue environmental influences. 

Again dependent on genera, a range of complementary 

testing and propagation facilities (e.g. outdoor, glasshouse, 

shadehouse, tissue culture stations) is desirable. 

Experienced staff 

Adequately trained staff, and access to appropriately 

accredited Qualified Persons, with a history of successful 

PVR/PBR applications will need to be available for all 

stages of the trial from planting to the presentation of the 

analysed data. These staff will require the authority to 

ensure timely maintenance of the trial. Where provided by 

the PBR office, the protocol and technical guidelines for the 

conduct of the trial must be followed. 

Substantial industry support 

Normally the establishment will be recognised by a state or 

national industry society or association. This may 

include/be replaced by a written commitment from major 

nurseries or other applicants, who have a history of 

regularly making applications for PBR in Australia, to use 

the facility. 

Capability for long term storage of genetic material 

Depending upon the genus, a CTC must be in a position to 

make a long term commitment to collect and maintain, at 

minimal cost, genetic resources of vegetatively propagated 

species as a source of comparative varieties. Applicants 

indicating a willingness to act as a national genetic resource 

centre in perpetuity will be favoured. 

Contract testing for 3rd Parties 

Unless exempted in writing by the PBR office operators of 

a CTC must be prepared to test varieties submitted by a 

third party. 

Relationship between CTC and 3rd Parties 

A formal arrangement between the CTC and any third party 

including fees for service will need to be prepared and 

signed before the commencement of the trial. It will include 

among other things: how the plant material will be delivered 

(e.g. date, stage of development plant, condition etc); allow 

the applicant and/or their agent and QP access to the site 

during normal working hours; and release the use of all trial 

data to the owners of the varieties included in the trial. 

One trial at a time 

Unless exempted in writing by the PBR office, all 

candidates and comparators should be tested in a single 

trial. 

One CTC per genus 

Normally only one CTC will be authorised to test a genus. 

Special circumstances may exist (environmental factors, 

quarantine etc) to allow more than one CTC per genus, 

though a special case will need to be made to the PBR 

office. More than one CTC maybe allowed for roses. 

One CTC may be authorised to test more than one genus. 

Authorisations for each genus will be reviewed periodically.

Register of Australian 

Winter CerealCultivars 

Varietal Descriptions from the Voluntary 

Scheme for the Registration of Cereal 

Cultivars 

Recently some procedural changes have been implemented 

in the operations of the Voluntary Cereal Registration 

Scheme. The Plant Breeder’s Rights (PBR) office and the 

Voluntary Cereal Registration Scheme are collaborating to 

ensure that descriptions of new varieties, whether they are 

protected by PBR or not, are made available. 

The Plant Varieties Journal now includes descriptions of 

cultivars registered under the Voluntary Cereal Registration 

Scheme. Please note that publishing a description in the 

Plant Varieties Journal does not automatically qualify a 

cultivar to be protected under Plant Breeder’s Rights 

(PBR). PBR is entirely a different scheme and there are 

specific requirements under the Plant Breeder’s Rights 

Act 1994 which must be satisfied to be eligible for 

registration under PBR. However, it is possible that some 

cultivars published in this section of the journal are also 

registered under PBR. When a cultivar is registered under 

both schemes, the current PBR status of the cultivar is 

indicated in the descriptions. 

A Check list for Registering New Cereal Cultivars in 

the Voluntary Scheme 

Breeders considering submitting a new variety to the 

voluntary scheme should: 

1. Clear the proposed name with Australian Winter Cereal 

Collection (AWCC). The AWCC will query available 

information systems to ensure that the proposed name will 

not be confused with other cultivars of the same group and 

issue a registration number. The timeframe for this 

process will usually be less than 24 hours, and can be done 

by phone, fax or by e-mail. 

2. Complete a registration form, including the registration 

number and forward the form to the Voluntary Cereal 

Registration Scheme – either by an e-mail attachment or by 

ordinary mail on a 3.5 inch a IBM formatted floppy 

diskette. The breeders will be notified of the acceptance for 

a new registration within one week of its receipt. 

3. Send an untreated one kilogram (1 kg) reference (or 

type) sample of seed to the Voluntary Cereal Registration 

Scheme for long term storage in the AWCC. Please 

indicate if there are any restrictions on the distribution of 

this seed. Unless advised to the contrary it will be assumed 

that seed samples of registered cultivars can be freely 

distributed by the AWCC to bona fide scientists for 

research purposes. 

4. Provide a description of the new cultivar for 

publication in the Plant Varieties Journal and send it to the 

Voluntary Cereal Registration Scheme in Word for 

Windows or in RTF format – either by an e-mail 

attachment or by ordinary mail on a 3.5 inch a IBM 

formatted floppy diskette. In general, a description should 

contain the following headings: 

• Common name 

• Botanical name 

• Cultivar name 

• Registration number 

• Registration date 

• Name and address of Originators 

• Name and address of Registrar of Cereal Cultivars 

• Released by 

• Synonyms (if any) 

• Parentage 

• Breeding and selection 

• Morphology 

• Disease Reaction 

• Yield 

• Quality 

• PBR Status (if any) 

• Acknowledgment (if any) 

• Breeder 

In addition, you may also include other headings if they are 

relevant to the description of the variety. Please follow the 

general style and format of the descriptions published in 

the current issue. Please note: always format your 

description in a single column, do not format in two 

columns. Columns will be formatted during the 

publication process. 

The Voluntary Cereal Registration Scheme will 

electronically forward your description to the Plant 

Varieties Journal for publication. Plant Varieties Journal 

reserves the right for editorial corrections and the edited 

versions will be forwarded to the breeder for review before 

the final publication. Publication cost will be charged on a 

cost recovery basis with invoices sent directly from the 

PBR office to the breeder. The nominal cost will be 

$400.00 (four hundred dollars) per variety. 

There is no descriptions from the Voluntary Cereal 

Registration Scheme included in this issue.
