Simultaneous Blooming 'Shine', a New Cultivar of Gypsophila paniculata

'Shine', a cultivar of Gypsophila paniculata was newly developed for cut flowers by Floriculture Resource Research Institute of Jeonbuk Agricultural Research and Extention Services. It was selected by selection of seedlings and lines in a seed-set bud mutant (Gyp99 line) derived from 'Bristol Fairy' in 1999. Its several traits were evaluated from 2005 to 2006. Its plant type is the upright type, and the flower characteristic is many semi-double florets with emarginate petal tip and campanulate calyx shape. 'Shine' had a trait of simultaneous blooming of many florets and moreover it produced normal flowers with two pistils, with little production of malformed flowers in high temperature growth conditions. It also differentiated more node and primary brandies number, and longer cut flower stalk, larger leaf length and calyx size, whereas there was less Petal number and narrower branching angle than check variety 'Million Stars'. The blooming of 'Shine' in summer cultivation was delayed by 17 days, compared to 'Million Stars'.
