Patriot
Ben:
In a recent message you said that Patriot was a polyploid, but then
you wouldn't give any details. I've looked at the flowers on Francee
and Patriot and the flowers are about the same size as far as I can
tell. However, I do notice that the anthers on Patriot are larger and
they seem to have more pollen.
Now, are you claiming that Patriot is a full tetraploid, a ctyochimera
tetraploid or other ploidy? I'm assuming you are basing this on flow
cytometer data. Have you done a chromosome count? Is there any
difference in fertility between Francee and Patriot?
