Variety traits
Dianthus flower color
Dianthus L.
A key ornamental trait of Dianthus, visually assessed according to DUS testing guidelines to determine varietal identity. Coloration is characterized by the ground color, the presence of spots, margins, veining, and the overall uniformity of the phenotype within the population.
In the reference 54 varieties crop Carnation, where this is mentioned in the description.
In Dianthus breeding and variety trials, flower color is described using a scale of states, including white, yellow, pink, red, and purple. Assessment is conducted during the full flowering phase on a representative sample, recording not only the ground color but also additional elements: contrasting margins, spots, the degree of fringing, and the nature of petal veining.
The trait is qualitative and is assessed through the spectrum of variation and constancy (uniformity) within the population. High color uniformity is a mandatory requirement for elite seed production, whereas for varietal populations, the percentage ratio of color groups is controlled.
The intensity of color expression depends on genetic alleles as well as environmental conditions, including light intensity and nutrient availability. Potassium or magnesium deficiency, as well as low light levels, can reduce color saturation, which directly affects the market value and commercial quality of cut flowers.
