Abstract
Aichi Prefecture is the second-largest producer of carnations in Japan. At the Aichi Agricultural Research Center (AARC), nine unique cultivars have been developed with the goal of achieving brand recognition for locally cultivated spray-type carnations. In particular, the cultivar “Kane Ainou 1-go,” which was developed in cooperation with the National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (NARO), has an extremely long vase life of 19.2–21.3 days and high annual yields. Furthermore, due to its hard stems, high-quality cut flowers can be obtained as early as autumn. This cultivar has desirable characteristics, such as large pink flowers and thick stems, and is an example of the outstanding qualities for which the AARC carnation breeding program strives to become known.
