Title: ´UFGold` Peach
Authors: W B. Sherman and P.M. Lyrene
Abstract:
'UFGold' is an attractive, high quality,
yellow and nonmelting flesh peacn
released by the Florida Agricultural
Experiment Station. 'UFGold' is expected to produce fruit with a tree
ripened full flavor while retaining firmness for longer shelf life than fruit from
conventional melting-flesh, fresh market
varieties.
'UFGold' originated from a cross of
two Florida selections with nonmelting
Flesh.
The seed parent was of
Brazilian origin (Diamante open pollinated) and the pollen parent originated
by open pollination of a seedling
obtained by crossing a Florida selection
(not carrying a nonmelting flesh allele)
and a North Carolina selection (apparently heterozygous for the nonmelting
allele). 'UFGold' was selected from
about 100 sibs as the twenty-fourth
selection in 1990 and thus designated
Fla. 90-24c for testing.
