국내 재배환경에 적합한 다수성인 거베라의 우수 신품종 육성을 위하여 경남농업기술원 화훼연구소에서 2000년부터 교배조합 육성을 위하여 국내의 재배농가와 종묘업체로부터 품종을 수집한 후, 2002년 3월에 황색 대륜계의 '99-가-2'를 모본, 핑크색 대륜계의 '99-나-7-6'을 부본으로 인공교배를 실시하여 교배조합으로부터 8475개의 종자를 획득하였다. 교배 후 결실이 된 조합은 채종 즉시 파종 하였으며, 파종 1개월 후 발아된 807개의 유묘는 본엽
A new yellow gerbera (Gerbera hybrida Hort.) cultivar "Golden Time" was developed from a cross between '99-ga-2' and '99-na-7-6', followed by seedling and line selections at the Flower Research Institute, Gyeongnam Agricultural Research and Extension Services (ARES) in 2007. Detailed characteristics of the new cultivar were evaluated from 2004 to 2007. "Golden Time" has semi-double type large flowers in a good harmony with yellow (RHS, 17-B) ray floret and brown center. It has good, stable flower shape and strong peduncles, and its vase life was 12.3 days. The average flower yield of "Golden Time" was about 49.5 stems per plant/year in greenhouse trails during 2004 and 2007. This cultivar was registered to the Korea Seed and Variety Service (KSVS) for commercialization in 2009. Year-round production of this cultivar is possible in the greenhouse condition throughout the Korean climate.
