SOWING 3/20/21
F2s to grow out from 2018 crosses. F1 fruit were obtained in 2019.
2018 cross #13: 55a7 x pBTD F1(2019): ~60 plants.
Sowed 72 x 1. Germination was very high, about 70.72.
2018 cross #30: ZPT x GDZ F1(2019): 20 plants. Sowed 18x2. Here I am simply looking to see if I get anything interesting. Pure curiosity. The F1 was likely a successful cross. If so it proves GDZ is not dominant, but might be interacting with ZPT. The F1 fruit had ribs and air pockets like ZPT.
Assuming ZPT phenotype is a single locus, the F1 would be ZPT/+ ; GDZ/+.
If so, ~2/16 should be = either one or the other parental phenotype. Some may be like the F1, some may appear more “typical” round. But the interesting ones are ZPT/ZPT ; GDZ/GDZ – 1/16; , or, at least homozygous for one locus and het for the other, which will be around ¼ , combined.
Roma: 18 plants (2017) sowed 18x2.
Home: 2xCG (2015; sowed 2w x 3 seeds), 6xFL (on order), 2xBC (2015, 2wx2), 2x TD (2019, 2wx2), 2xHC (2020, 3x2). All germinated ok
"Original" 2014 cross 55a1.2 F6 - growing 2 plants
4/25/21 - planted 40 plants cross #13
4/30/21 - planted ~20 plants cross #13, 8 plants #30.
