That wasn't Nyagous

[WhippoorwillG]

A few years back, a food salesman brought me a sample of some new/unique tomatoes they were carrying. It looked exactly like the photos of Nyagous I had seen and had good flavor.....so of course I saved seeds.

Well they aren't Nyagous, and were an f1 apparently.

My question is: What recessive gene or parent could be responsible for the bright green stems?

I have over 1500 other tomatoes going of over 80 varieties. ALL of the others, and over 2/3 of these f2s (approaching the expected 3to1) have purplish stems to one degree or another.

Maybe the gene represented by 'a', anthocyaninless.

Well that caused a big "DUH" on my end. Thanks for the response. I am not sure why I didn't think of that after reading all of Tom Wagner's posts and comments from Fred on antho related genes.

Now does anyone know of any other varieties or hybrids that have this expressed? I'm just curious. I googled around and found a couple of research papers and an accession(s) at Sol Genomics, but nothing that jumped out.
