Registration of ‘FloRun ‘107’ ’ Peanut

Abstract

‘FloRun ‘107’ ’ (Reg. No. CV-127, PI 663993) peanut (Arachis hypogaea L. subsp. hypogaea var. hypogaea) cultivar was developed by the University of Florida, Florida Agricultural Experiment Station, North Florida Research and Education Center near Marianna, FL. Tested under the experimental designation UF08301, FloRun ‘107’ was approved for release in 2010. FloRun ‘107’ is a runner market-type peanut with a prostrate growth habit and medium dark green leaves and vines. Seed of FloRun ‘107’ is tan in color and smaller than ‘C-99R’ and ‘Florida-07’. FloRun ‘107’ and Florida-07 are derived from the same cross but originate from different F3 plants. Release of FloRun ‘107’ was based on seed size, pod yield, grading potential, and oil chemistry. FloRun ‘107’ is similar to Florida-07 in pod yield but has substantially smaller seed, which can be attractive to growers and processors alike (more kernels), while maintaining a high-oleic oil chemistry profile. It also produces higher grades of total sound mature kernels than Florida-07.
