SEEDLING: anthocyanin colouration present
PLANT: cutting or gathering oak leaf type used for open cultivation, small to medium diameter, no head formation, absent or very weak axillary sprouting, time of harvest maturity is mid-season, begins bolting under long day conditions early, very weak to weak intensity of fasciation at flowering stage
LEAF: thin, erect attitude at harvest maturity, triangular shape, acute tip, very dark reddish hue of green colour of outer leaves, very strong intensity of diffused and spotted anthocyanin colouration distributed over entire surface, medium to strong glossiness of upper side, weak blistering, small blisters
LEAF BLADE: very weak to weak undulation of margin, no incisions of margin on apical part, venation is not flabellate
LEAF BLADE (AT 10 TO 12 LEAF STAGE): erect attitude, lobed division
RESISTANCE: resistance to Downy mildew (Bremia lactucae) isolates Bl:16, Bl:17, Bl:18, Bl:20, Bl:21, Bl:22, Bl:23, Bl:24, Bl:25, Bl:26, Bl:27, Bl:29, Bl:30, Bl:31, Bl:32, Bl:33, Bl:34 and Bl:35 and strain US Ca:I- IX present; resistance to Lettuce mosaic virus (LMV) strain Ls-1 present; resistance to Nasonovia ribisnigri biotype Nr:0 present and lettuce dieback (TBSV) resistant
Origin & Breeding History: 'Cavendish' (experimental designation 'E01K.30356') originated from a cross conducted in July of 2010 in the greenhouses of Enza Zaden Recherche France, in Allonnes, between the variety 'Sadawi (EZ)', as the female parent, and Enza breeding line 'F55506', as the male parent. The resulting F1 seeds were planted in the greenhouses in August of 2010. The F2 seeds were collected and bulked in January of 2011. From 2011 to 2014, successive generations were grown, selections were conducted at the young plant stage and harvested at Enza Zaden Recherche in Allonnes. The criteria used for making selections at each generation were leaf colour, leaf thickness and leaf shape for baby leaf production, combined with resistance to Downy mildew (Bremia lactucae) and Lettuce mosaic virus (LMV) strain Ls-1. In 2015, the line of F5 seedlings that showed the best uniformity, colour and leaf type was evaluated in different direct sowing baby leaf trials. A decision was taken to advance this line for further trialing and it later became known as 'Cavendish'.
Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'Cavendish' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number SLA3713, purchased from Naktuinbouw in Roelofarendsveen, Netherlands. The trial was conducted by Naktuinbouw in Roelofarendsveen, Netherlands in 2017.
