Torenia flower color
Torenia L.
This trait is a key descriptor in UPOV guidelines for determining the varietal identity of Torenia. It is characterized by bicolor patterns and is assessed visually using color charts based on the main tone of the corolla and contrasting elements in the throat.
In the reference 3 varieties crop Bluewings, where this is mentioned in the description.
The assessment of Torenia flower color is based on the description of the main color of the corolla limb and the identification of specific contrasting spots on the lower lip or in the throat. Since the trait is qualitative, its documentation is carried out through adherence to descriptive categories and color standards, such as the RHS Colour Chart.
In breeding practice, color stability is an important criterion for the distinctness and uniformity of a variety. The intensity of color expression is genetically determined, but it is subject to the influence of external factors: under insufficient lighting, pigment saturation may decrease, which is taken into account during agrotechnical monitoring and the assessment of varietal purity.
