I agree with Darrel that there is at least one modifier gene at work in determining anthocyanin expression in the fruit. This appears to be the case also in anthocyanin expression in the foliage (early and late in the season). This was one of many Aft/Aft; atv/atv plants in my breeding nursery last year - but was the darkest within a range of anthocyanin coloration. As has been discussed previously in this thread, darkest foliage does not necessarily lead to darkest fruit - and visa versa. However being homozygous for both Aft and tav appears to be a requirement for highest level of pigmentation in either fruit or foliage.

Does the effect of the anthocyanin increase with cooking as it does with lyposene? (sp?)

If that was answered already I apologize. lots of reading in the 'ville!

Pete, lycopene is partially blocked from absorption by its chemical structure. Cooking it, particularly with oil, tends to attach it to molecules that are more easily absorbed.

Anthocyanins do not have the same limits. To the best of my knowledge, anthocyanin absorption is not significantly affected by cooking.

I've been breeding for a combination of anthocyanin and gold freckles that ideally results in the appearance of bright stars in a dark sky. This is close.

Absolutely beautiful Mark.

How's the taste, hopefully compared to some varieties I do know, which aren't in the indigo, blue group, as it were, b'c my first exposure to that group was OSU P20, which I didn't like at all. And yes, I know lots of improvements and new crosses have been made, but I'm still looking for a blue one with great taste, if that's possible.

That's a great looking tomato. Reminds me of gold on black sand. Could see it named something like Gold Pan, Placer, or Midnight Midas. Very cool looking indeed.

This is a Aft/+ F1 hybrid. The ochre skin has a red blush and a faint anthocyanin crown. Flesh is bright green and taste is very good. I like the color combination.

Hi frogsleap-
You are getting some beautiful results. I have one that is similar in size to your green one above. It is at F4 - I'm still working towards stable, open-pollinated strains. Here's a photo. The others are of a grape tomato and a pink and blue cherry tomato.






Some have that 'Sungold' scent and similar flavor. I'm not sure how stable those ones are, but so far, so good. I only grew two plants of speckled blues this season, but they are true to type.

Guys, are OSU Blue and P20 the same thing?

I'm a gal, not a guy, but no, they are not exactly the same.

OSU ( Oregon State University) was the original one developed by Dr. Fred Myers at OSU and OSU P20 was a selection made from OSU and the one that was most used to create all the ones that others bred.

Others here may disagree with me but NEVER again would I eat the flesh of OSU or the P20 selection, I said NEVER.

Agreed. Better for breeding purposes than eating for sure.
