Subject of these Test Guidelines

These Test Guidelines apply to all varieties of artificial hybrid genus Mokara, of thefamily Orchidaceae. The genus Mokara is a manmade genus that consists of 3 natural genus
combinations of (Arachnis x Ascocentrum x Vanda) in the parental background. Mokara canalso have the combination make-up of following genera:
Ascocenda (Ascocentrum x Vanda) x Arachnis
Aranda (Arachnis x Vanda) x Ascocentrum
Ascorachnis (Ascocentrum x Arachnis) x Vanda
Ascocenda x Aranda
Ascocenda x Ascorachnis
Aranda x Ascorachnis
Mokara x Arachnis
Mokara x Ascocentrum
Mokara x Vanda
Mokara x Ascocenda
Mokara x Aranda
Mokara x Ascorachnis
Progeny resulting in the selfing or sibing of Mokara also applies to this test guideline.
Selfings refers to a population resulting from the self pollination of the Mokara flowers of thesame plant, while Siblings refers to a population resulting from the cross pollination of 2
different Mokara flowers of different or the same varieties.

2.

Material Required

2.1
The competent authorities decide on the quantity and quality of the plant material
required for testing the variety and when and where it is to be delivered. Applicants
submitting material from a State other than that in which the testing takes place must ensurethat all customs formalities and phytosanitary requirements are complied with.
2.2
The material is to be supplied in the form of matured plants that have not flowered
before with an emerging spike.
2.3

The minimum quantity of plant material, to be supplied by the applicant, should be:
10 plants.

2.4
The plant material supplied should be visibly healthy, not lacking in vigor, noraffected by any important pest or disease.

TG/Mokara
2013-07-03-4-

2.5
The plant material should not have undergone any treatment which would affect theexpression of the characteristics of the variety, unless the competent authorities allow orrequest such treatment. If it has been treated, full details of the treatment must be given.

3.

Method of Examination

3.1

Number of Growing Cycles

The minimum duration of tests should normally be one single flowering period fromemerging spike to the last opened flower.
3.2

Testing Place

Tests are normally conducted at one place. In the case of tests conducted at more than
one place, guidance is provided in TGP/9 “Examining Distinctness”.
3.3

Conditions for Conducting the Examination

3.3.1 The tests should be carried out under conditions ensuring satisfactory growth for the
expression of the relevant characteristics of the variety and for the conduct of the examination.
3.3.2 The optimum stage of development for the assessment of each characteristic is
indicated by a number in the second column of the Table of Characteristics. The stages ofdevelopment denoted by each number are described at the end of Chapter 8.
3.3.3 Because daylight varies, colour determinations made against a colour chart should bemade either in a suitable cabinet providing artificial daylight or in the middle of the day in aroom without direct sunlight. The spectral distribution of the illuminant for artificial daylightshould conform with the CIE Standard of Preferred Daylight D 6500 and should fall within
the tolerances set out in the British Standard 950, Part I. These determinations should bemade with the plant part placed against a white background. The colour chart and version
used should be specified in the variety descriptions.
3.4

Test Design

3.4.1 Each test should be designed to result in a total of at least 10 plants.
3.4.2 The design of the tests should be such that plants or parts of plants may be removed
for measurement or counting without prejudice to the observations which must be made, up to
the end of the growing cycle.
3.5

Number of Plants / Parts of Plants to be Examined

Unless otherwise indicated, all observations should be made on 10 plants or partstaken from each of 10 plants excluding off type.
3.6

Additional Tests
Additional tests, for examining relevant characteristics, may be established.

4.1

Assessment of Distinctness, Uniformity and Stability
Distinctness
4.1.1 General Recommendations

It is of particular importance for users of these Test Guidelines to consult the General
Introduction prior to making decisions regarding distinctness. However, the following points
are provided for elaboration or emphasis in these Test Guidelines.
4.1.2 Consistent Differences
The differences observed between varieties may be so clear that more than one
growing cycle is not necessary. In addition, in some circumstances, the influence of theenvironment is not such that more than a single growing cycle is required to provide
assurance that the differences observed between varieties are sufficiently consistent. One
means of ensuring that a difference in a characteristic, observed in a growing trial, issufficiently consistent is to examine the characteristic in at least two independent growing
cycles.
4.1.3 Clear Differences
Determining whether a difference between two varieties is clear depends on manyfactors, and should consider, in particular, the type of expression of the characteristic being
examined, i.e. whether it is expressed in a qualitative, quantitative, or pseudo-qualitative
manner. Therefore, it is important that users of these Test Guidelines are familiar with therecommendations contained in the General Introduction prior to making decisions regarding
distinctness.
4.1.4

Method of Observation

The recommended method of observing the characteristic for the purposes of
distinctness is indicated by the following key in the second column of the Table ofCharacteristics (see document TGP/9 “Examining Distinctness”, Section 4 “Observation ofcharacteristics”):
MG: single measurement of a group of plants or parts of plants
MS: measurement of a number of individual plants or parts of plants
VG: visual assessment by a single observation of a group of plants or parts of plants
VS: visual assessment by observation of individual plants or parts of plants
Type of observation: visual (V) or measurement (M)“Visual” observation (V) is an observation made on the basis of the expert’s judgment. For
the purposes of this document, “visual” observation refers to the sensory observations of theexperts and, therefore, also includes smell, taste and touch. Visual observation includes
observations where the expert uses reference points (e.g. diagrams, example varieties, sideby-side comparison) or non-linear charts (e.g. colour charts). Measurement (M) is anobjective observation against a calibrated, linear scale e.g. using a ruler, weighing scales,
colorimeter, dates, counts, etc.

TG/Mokara
2013-07-03-6-

Type of record: for a group of plants (G) or for single, individual plants (S)For the purposes of distinctness, observations may be recorded as a single record for a groupof plants or parts of plants (G), or may be recorded as records for a number of single,
individual plants or parts of plants (S). In most cases, “G” provides a single record per variety
and it is not possible or necessary to apply statistical methods in a plant-by-plant analysis forthe assessment of distinctness.”
In cases where more than one method of observing the characteristic is indicated in the Tableof Characteristics (e.g. VG/MG), guidance on selecting an appropriate method is provided in
document TGP/9, Section 4.2.

4.2

Uniformity

4.2.1 It is of particular importance for users of these Test Guidelines to consult the General
Introduction prior to making decisions regarding uniformity. However, the following points
are provided for elaboration or emphasis in these Test Guidelines:
4.2.2 For the assessment of uniformity, a population standard of 1% with an acceptanceprobability of at least 95% should be applied. In the case of a sample size of 10 plants,
1 off-type is allowed.
4.3

Stability

4.3.1 In practice, it is not usual to perform tests of stability that produce results as certain as
those of the testing of distinctness and uniformity. However, experience has demonstrated
that, for many types of variety, when a variety has been shown to be uniform, it can also be
considered to be stable.
4.3.2 Where appropriate, or in cases of doubt, stability may be tested, either by growing afurther generation, or by testing a new plant stock to ensure that it exhibits the samecharacteristics as those shown by the previous material supplied.

5.

Grouping of Varieties and Organization of the Growing Trial

5.1
The selection of varieties of common knowledge to be grown in the trial with thecandidate varieties and the way in which these varieties are divided into groups to facilitate
the assessment of distinctness are aided by the use of grouping characteristics.
5.2
Grouping characteristics are those in which the documented states of expression, even
where produced at different locations, can be used, either individually or in combination withother such characteristics: (a) to select varieties of common knowledge that can be excluded
from the growing trial used for examination of distinctness; and (b) to organize the growing
trial so that similar varieties are grouped together.
5.3

The following have been agreed as useful grouping characteristics:a) Plant: width (characteristic 1)b) Leaf: attitude (characteristic 2)

TG/Mokara
2013-07-03-7-c) Inflorescence: number of flowers (characteristic 8)d) Flower: length (characteristic 11)e) Flower: width (characteristic 12)f) Dorsal sepal: ground colour (characteristic 20)g) Lateral sepal: ground colour (characteristic 31)h) Petal: ground colour (characteristic 42)i) Lip: apical lobe: divided apex (characteristic 50)j) Lip: apical lobe: wing on side(characteristic 51)k) Lip: apical lobe: ground colour of apex (characteristic 52)

5.4
Guidance for the use of grouping characteristics, in the process of examining
distinctness, is provided through the General Introduction.

6.1

Introduction to the Table of Characteristics
Categories of Characteristics
6.1.1 Standard Test Guidelines Characteristics

Standard Test Guidelines characteristics are those which are approved by UPOV for
examination of DUS and from which members of the Union can select those suitable for their
particular circumstances.
6.1.2 Asterisked Characteristics
Asterisked characteristics (denoted by *) are those included in the Test Guidelines
which are important for the international harmonization of variety descriptions and should
always be examined for DUS and included in the variety description by all members of theUnion, except when the state of expression of a preceding characteristic or regional
environmental conditions render this inappropriate.
6.2

States of Expression and Corresponding Notes

States of expression are given for each characteristic to define the characteristic and toharmonize descriptions. Each state of expression is allocated a corresponding numerical notefor ease of recording of data and for the production and exchange of the description.
6.3
Types of Expression
An explanation of the types of expression of characteristics (qualitative, quantitativeand pseudo-qualitative) is provided in the General Introduction.
6.4

Example Varieties

Where appropriate, example varieties are provided to clarify the states of expression ofeach characteristic.
GREX INFORMATION: For example, in the case of Mokara Chark Kuan ‘Orange’, thegeneric name is Mokara, the grex epithet is Chark Kuan, and the cultivar epithet is ‘Orange’.
The grex epithet can be the name of a person; many orchids are named after the breeder, orTG/Mokara
2013-07-03-8-other prominent people. Such a cultivar is the individual plant and all its vegetatively
propagated progeny that are identical to it.

Explanations covering several characteristics
Characteristics containing the following key in the second column of the Table ofCharacteristics should be examined as indicated below:
(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

(e)
(f)

Observations on the leaf should be made on the 6th or 7th leaf from the top of aflowering plant. Width of the leaf is observed by opening and flattening the folded
leaf. Length of the leaf is to be measured with a flexible tape following thenatural curvature of the leaf.
Observations on the inflorescence should be made at when 70% of the flowers on
the inflorescence have opened. Length of the inflorescence is to be measured by aflexible tape to follow the natural curvature from the base of the peduncle to thetip before the last immature bud. Total numbers of flowers should also include thebuds.
Observations on the shape, length, width and colour of the flower and parts of theflower should be made on the 2nd or 3rd flower from the base, on the unextended
organ. Unextended organ refers to the natural spread without flattening or
extending the floral parts.
Observations on the colour of the sepals, the petals and the lip should be made on
the front side of flower. Ground colour refers to the lightest colour. Marginal zone
refers to the shading area along the margins.
Observation on the colour of eyes should be made on an undisturbed and intact
pollinia cap.
Observation for flower fragrance should be done outdoor before noon on a warmday.
