Sophya’s Choice x Fahrenheit Blues
F-1 [B]Sophya’s Choice x Fahrenheit Blues[/B]
I made this cross a couple of years ago. I was hoping to get some of the TSWV (Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus) resistance carried along with the parent Sophya from a couple of crosses previously. Fat chance of that happening…the clone I am bringing along is only 1/8 Sophya which has this resistance package:(VFFAStTSWV). Sophya’s Choice is a hybrid on a hybrid on a hybrid on a hybrid, therefore the genetic background is quite diverse. The first picture is of the F-1 hybrid. It is heterozygous for wo, Anthocyanin fruit ([I][FONT="]Aft[/FONT][/I]) and the recessive gene atroviolacea ([I][FONT="]atv[/FONT][/I]). You can see just a hint of the woolly and just a hint of the blue on the fruit, the stem is not so blue, but I can see a trace of it even though atv is supposed to be recessive [IMG][URL="http://i.imgur.com/tTBWOVC.png?1%5b/IMG"]http://i.imgur.com/tTBWOVC.png?1[/IMG[/URL]] The second picture is of the F-2 plant…. note that I selected a seedling that was 100% woolly and 100% blue stem/leaf. Now all I have to do is hope that the fruits are very blue too…. Aft/Aft.

The greenhouse is somewhere along the Snoqualmie River. |
