Ice, I heard there are 3 genes controlling the anthocyanin and one is dominant. So I guess back crossing would give you a better chance of capturing the two recessive genes. Don't know the actual percentages.
I believe the plant is determinate but I'm not sure because the breeder contends it's still unstable. So just consider some have grown determinate plants from reports I have.
The breeder has asked that no seeds be shared until he releases stable germplasm possibly in 2010.
