<As least there doesn't appear to be any plicata genetics in Pure As Gold>
Plicata if you go back far enough:
PURE AS GOLD = Radiant Energy X Sound of Gold.
SOUND OF GOLD = Solano X Caramba
CARAMBA (Keith Keppel, R. 1972) Sdlg. 68-27C. TB, 32" (81 cm), EM
S. lemon yellow (M&P 10-K-3); F. white, edged lemon with all-over
plicata stippling varying from cyclamen purple (47-L-9 to 47-L-7) to
carbuncle (8-L-7), java brown (8-K-9) at edge; dull yellow beard. (Wild
Ginger x Siva Siva) X (((Gene Wild x Majorette) x Rococo) x Ballyhoo
sib). Keppel 1975
Sooo, if I understand this stuff, that <does> imply RRA.
??
<This would imply that
`Pure As Gold' is a recessive reduction of anthocyanin.>
