triple cotyledons

WhippoorwillG · February 28, 2017

Have any of you found triple cotyledons expressed as a regular dominant/recessive trait?
I've seen tri-cots occur in many dicots, especially peppers, but it is usually just a random occurrence. However, I started approximately 24 f4 seeds from a tomato cross and the seedlings are expressing in a near 1:4 ratio as triples.

As a somewhat unrelated note, a sister line to this cross had cotyledons that have a distinct frilled and undulating shape, lacking the smooth edges usually associated with cotyledons. Just a random observation.
