Abstract
This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of strawberry plant named `Lido`, botanically identified as Fragaria .times. ananassa. The closest known variety is `Swede`. The new variety is partially everbearing. The new variety is distinguished from `Swede` by its glossier upper leaf surface, dense petiole pubescence and longer petiole pubescence. The cull rate for `Lido` was 42% of that for `Swede`. Following prolonged storage, the percent fruit that had rotted for `Lido` was about 57% of that for `Swede`. The reaction to disease was similar between `Lido` and `Swede`, but `Lido` is moderately resistant to Botrytis fruit rot, whereas `Swede` is susceptible. The PGI isozyme banding pattern for `Lido`, is A3, while that for, `Swede` is A1. The LAP and PGM banding patterns are B3 and C2, respectively, for both `Lido` and `Swede`.
