Does anyone know the genetics of Zolotoe Serdtse? Is it a high beta-carotene variety (like 97L97)? Or does it have more 'standard' orange genetics? (I think there's at least 3 ways to get to orange tomatoes genetically, maybe 4)

The description of it intrigues me, but I'm not breeding with any orange (I will raise and save however!) tomato that I can't verify is a high beta variety.

I grew 97L97 and while I completely concur it's a once and done, I thought it was very productive.
