Surprises of the types of leaves of the varieties.

1) Introduction

The blue color can perturb the conformity of tomatoes: we have now proofs.
It is necessary to protect the flowers which will give tomatoes and seeds for the future sowing.
But, we are not certain that some of our seeds do not contain blue gene and all our exchanged or bought seeds contain it maybe also.
Our sowed seeds and the obtained tomatoes must be observed and photographed during all their growth.
It is necessary to try to locate all the visual indications which show that we have no blue gene.
All these visual markers are very important.
But it is also necessary to differentiate all the types of leaves of the plants of tomatoes which can be perturbed by the blue genes.

2) Type of leaves already met:

A) Regular
B) Leaves of potatoes
C) Leaves of carrots.

These three types can be colored in blue because anthocyanins can be present.
You have already had some examples.

3) Other types of possible leaves:

A) Burnets

I have already had crossing with this variety but, the result gave me always until now leaves of burnets or regular not blue but I have too little case at the moment to say that it is not possible.
It is certainly possible to obtain burnets with anthocyanins.
