That does not mean that none did--I just do not remember any. One
would expect a few, I would think. There were occasional plicatas
however. The assumption that both the Muhlestein and Hall line pinks
were dominant Inhibitor for anthocyanin did not ever seem challenged
by the small progenies per cross that were involved. >>
I believe that the original Fay line was also pink by virtue of the dominant
inhibitor.
Gibson's APRIL MELODY did prove to be recessive for anthocyanin production,
and I suspect that other predecessors to today's glaciatas may also have had
mixed heritage.
Separating the effect of the dominant inhibitor from the recessive trait is
certainly a non-trivial task!
