Dennis -- The cross that produced my 93B11 was TRUDY x WABASH. The rest
of the seedlings from this cross were normal. Another pod of the same
cross produced only normal seedlings. Mutations are rare. When they
occur, the challenge is to see whether the trait can be passed on
through breeding. I have seedlings coming up now from crosses of 93B11.
