Sowing F4s

4/1/18 -  I sowed F4 seeds from these 2017 F3 plants from the IRxCP cross.

8A-6, 8A-7.                         

Gf. Biggest of the 8As. 250-300 g.  Might see an increase in purple color in F4s?

46A-2                                   

Gf, globe, nice purple

55A-1, 55A-5, 55A-7.  

Gf.  Better purple than 8A but might not be quite as big: 150-200 g.

10B-1

Not gf but good size and good purple, so kinda neat.  Gf homozygotes might emerge in F4s. Chance of any one F4 plant being gf/gf is (2/3 x 1/4) = 1/6.  

28D-3            

The purple-tinged cherry.

Not sure how to handle the nomenclature going forward, but I don't see why after this point I'd be inclined to save fruit from more than just my favorite single individual from any one line.  Going forward I can keep the F3 identifier and just append the generation, e.g. 8A6-F4, 46A2-F4, etc.
