NC 1GEM is homozygous for Ve, I, I-2, Ph-2, and Ph-3 genes. NC 4GEM is homozygous for Ve, I, I-2, Sw-5, and Tm-2 genes. Also, both NC 1GEM and NC 4GEM are homozgous for the recessive crimson gene, ogc, which is necessary to have in both parents for expression of crimson fruit color in the F1 hybrid. The hybrid Mountain Gem (NC 4GEM x NC 1GEM) is therefore homozygous for Ve, I, and I-2 and heterozygous for Ph-2, Ph-3, Sw-5, and Tm-2.
