Pollen Parent




    Would any of you good Ladies and Gentlemen care to go into detail as to
what the pollen parent brings to the sporting process, that we have been
discussing? Most emphasis has been focused on the pod parent in the
discussion of streaks. Other than variegation what does the pollen influence
in the breeding? What are the roles of pod and pollen in petiole and scape
coloring, leaf vein and leaf color (i.e., producing a . 01 green or "black"
on the wheel)? What are the influences on inflorescence and scent?
