A new plant variety is a plant variety that is legally protected by a plant breeders' certificate. To be protected by a plant breeders' certificate, a new plant variety must be new, which means it has not been commercialized in a certain period of time before the filing of the application for the plant breeders' rights certificate. It must also exhibit distinct, uniform and stable characteristics. 3, record 1, English, - new%20plant%20variety
