Single Variety

Home gardeners and farmers in the southern United States have traditionally grown southernpeas to produce both fresh-shell peas and immature, fresh pods, or snaps. American growers do not presently have access to a single variety that is ideally suited for both uses. In 1988, a plant breeding effort was initiated to incorporate genes conditioning superior yield and seed characteristics of Asian “vegetable cowpeas” into American snap-type southernpeas. This effort resulted in the development of `WhipperSnapper', which is suited for use as a dual-purpose variety that can be used to produce both snaps and fresh-shell peas. Typical ready-to-harvest `WhipperSnapper' snaps are green colored, 6.4 mm in diameter, 7.6 mm in height, and 24 cm long. Typical mature-green pods suitable for fresh-shell harvest exhibit an attractive yellow color, are 25 cm long, and contain 14 peas. Fresh peas are cream-colored, kidney-shaped, and weigh 24.5 g per 100 peas. Dry pods exhibit a light straw color, and the dry peas have a smooth seedcoat. The total `WhipperSnapper' yield of snaps can be as much as 62% greater than the total snap yield of the snap-type variety `Bettersnap'; pea yield can be as much as 69% greater. The quality of `WhipperSnapper' seed is excellent and much superior to that of `Bettersnap'. `WhipperSnapper' can be used by home gardeners and market gardeners to produce abundant quantities of snaps and fresh-shell peas during seasons too hot for successful culture of such table legumes as snap beans. `WhipperSnapper' also has the potential for use as a mechanically harvested source of snaps for use by food processors in mixed packs of peas and snaps.

The USDA, Louisiana State University, and Lincoln University have released a new southernpea cultivar named WhipperSnapper. The new cultivar is the product of a plant breeding effort to incorporate genes conditioning superior yield and seed characteristics of Asian vegetable cowpeas into American snap-type southernpeas. The new cultivar was developed for use by home gardeners and market gardeners as a dual-purpose cultivar that can be used to produce both fresh-shell peas and immature, fresh pods or snaps. Typical ready-to-harvest WhipperSnapper snaps are green colored, 6.4 mm in diameter, 7.6 mm in height, and 24 cm long; the pods are slightly curved at the attachment end. Typical mature-green pods suitable for fresh-shell harvest exhibit an attractive yellow color, are 25 cm long, and contain 14 peas. Fresh peas are cream-colored, kidney-shaped, and weigh 24.5 g/100 peas. Dry pods exhibit a light straw color, and the dry peas have a smooth seed coat. The quality of WhipperSnapper seed is excellent. In replicated field trials, WhipperSnapper produced significantly greater yields of both snaps and peas than the snap-type cultivar Bettersnap. WhipperSnapper has potential for use as a mechanically-harvested source of snaps for use by food processors in mixed packs of peas and snaps. Protection for WhipperSnapper is being sought under the Plant Variety Protection Act.

A study was conducted in 2004 and 2005 to determine how ‘Early Sunrise’ coreopsis (Coreopsis grandiflora Hogg ex Sweet. ‘Early Sunrise’), ‘Moonbeam’ coreopsis (Coreopsis verticillata L. ‘Moonbeam’) and ‘Goldsturm’ rudbeckia (Rudbeckia fulgida Aiton ‘Goldsturm’) responded to two plant growth retardants applied at three stages of plant development (SOD) when plants were exposed to night-interrupted lighting (NIL) while grown outdoors under nursery conditions in the southern United States. With few exceptions, height of all species was suppressed by 2 weeks after first treatment (WAT) compared to NIL only, regardless of whether 5000 ppm B-Nine or 20 ppm Sumagic was applied at the beginning of a period of rapid shoot elongation (SOD 2) or 2 weeks prior to (SOD 1) or following this stage (SOD 3), and continued throughout the plants’ vegetative phase, although the level of suppression varied with SOD and PGR. Applying either PGR at SOD 2, when rapid shoot elongation first began, was most effective in suppressing vegetative height of ‘Early Sunrise’ coreopsis and ‘Goldsturm’ rudbeckia, whereas vegetative height suppression of ‘Moonbeam’ coreopsis was not affected by SOD when Sumagic was applied, but suppression was greatest when B-Nine was applied at SOD 1, two weeks before rapid shoot elongation began. ‘Early Sunrise’ coreopsis and ‘Goldsturm’ rudbeckia were shortest at first flower when PGRs were applied at SOD 2 and SOD 3, respectively, but plant height of ‘Moonbeam’ coreopsis at first flower was not affected by SOD. Where differences in height suppression occurred at first flower, B-Nine was more effective than Sumagic. Plant SOD when PGRs were applied had no effect on flowering or plant quality of ‘Moonbeam’ coreopsis and minimal effect on ‘Early Sunrise’ coreopsis or ‘Goldsturm’ rudbeckia.

Two Stages

Papaya (Carica papaya L.) imported into the United States must be certified free of infestation by unwanted pests. Irradiation has been suggested as a potential quarantine treatment for papaya. A study was conducted to characterize fruit quality and condition at two stages of maturity and exposure to irradiation treatment. `Solo' papaya grown in Belize was transported in refrigerated sea van containers to Florida. Fruit showing no yellow color or one-quarter yellow color were irradiated at 0.6 kGy, held at 25 °C until ripe, and evaluated for quality and condition attributes. Green peel papaya treated with irradiation developed peel injury and had uneven ripening of pulp tissue following storage. Development of peel or pulp color was not affected by irradiation. Fruit should show one-quarter yellow peel color to avoid irradiation-induced peel damage. Irradiation may be a viable quarantine treatment for papaya that can be applied to fruit at the source of offshore production or on arrival at a facility in the United States.
