Aphylla have an edo-dormancy triggered by short days. They then go dormant. So they don't need vernalization genes to prevent fall bloom. The dormancy genes (involving dessication and dropping off of leaves) are recessive. When aphylla crossed to a TB, we then have plants that don't go endo-dormant, and don't require vernalization. Known as fall rebloomers, as long as everything else lines up (ie:secondary rebloom genes).

Chuck, any thoughts on how the rebloom genetics from aphylla would mix
with rebloom genetics of TBs?

That combination makes my head hurt.
