Proposed to be used as a field marker to separate experiments, for confirmation of correct planting order, or to fill plots for which seed were insufficient. Given the yellow leaf color during the latter half of the growing season, the line is easy to distinguish from other peanut lines. Another field marker, Golden Aureous, is a Spanish type, and is best avoided in experiments involving runner or Virginia plants due to diffrences in interplot competition. Is a Virginia type line with semi-erect lateral branches, mainstem not prominent, and lacking flowers onthe mainstem. Mainstem height was 13.2 and 17.0 cm at Denver City in 2004 and Brownfield in 2005, respectively, and plant width averaged 30 and 40 cm. During the first 60 d of the growing season, the color of the leaves was light green (137A, 143A, B, C, 144A, and 144B according to the Royal Horticultural Society [RHS]/Flower Council of Holland Scale); by contrast, the leaves of Florunner and Tamrun 96 were green (132A, 137B, and 144C). At 60 to 70 DAP, the leaves of Golden Virginia begin changing color, to light yellow (7A, 13A, RHS Scale) and eventually darker yellow (14B, 15A). Some of the leaves on a plant remain light green (143A, 144A); usually the plants at the ends of the plot keep greener leaves. Toward the end of the season the leaves turn brown. Stem color varies from light green (137A) to pale yellow (13A). Flowering is alternate, with hypogaea-type pods variable for size and shape. Two-seeded pods range from 2.6 to 3.8 cm in length and to 1.2 to 1.8 cm in width. There is a high frequency of signle-seeded pods, averaging 36% (range 24-50%). Pod constriction ranges from very deep to moderate. Has tan testa and has a 100-seed weight of 44.7 g. | 1720768 | PI 646155 |
