I seem to remember someone once quoting a Bee Warburton article on this issue.
 Does anyone happen to know if that is true, or better yet have a copy of such
an article?  I think it was in relation to crosses with I. aphylla
specifically.

There
have been observations of four pumila chromosomes pairing with four 
TB
chromosomes in IBs and (I think) 36-chromosome MDBs. These unbalanced
tetraploids are not completely infertile by any means, and relatively 
fertile
ones seem to be becoming more common with time, which I have no 
explanation
for. Some used to give a "rule of thumb" that if the bivalents 
outnumber the
univalents, some fertility can be expected. If you have the 
pairing of four
chromosomes I mentioned, an IB has 12+4=16 bivalents, and 
8+4=12 univalents.
We also see partial fertility in the 1/4 aril arilbreds.
I think the
supposition is that unpaired chromosomes do not necessarily 
stop the plant
from making gametes, and the unpaired ones just end up in 
the gametes
randomly. It's possible to have a viable plant with one of two 
extra
chromosomes (or one or two missing ones); these are aneuploids. So 
the
fertile gametes from these unbalanced tetraploids are those that 
randomly
receive an approximately complete set. The probability of that is 
small, but
can be great enough to get some good seeds in some cases.

I don't want to distract the discussion that
is ongoing, but I can't 
resist
jumping in when Chuck brings up the 12/12/8/8
ploidy because I am trying 
to
understand how some of these IBs are so fertile
with TBs and MTBs.  
Especially
if the 12/12 side comes from aphylla
background.  Would anyone care to 
comment
on that or point me to a good
source of information?

Thanks
Bill

Amphidiploid is
12/12/8/8  these are SDB

There can't be cross overs between
any chromosome
from 8 set and 12 set, as they never pair up in meiosis.
Crossovers only 
occur
in paired chromosomes. No pairs = no crossovers. Like,
never ever. If they
ever did, their would be unbalanced chromosomes, and  it
wouldn't be 
viable.
that is  the  meiotic cell would die, or any zygote
formed would die.

IB is
12/12/12/8 So can be pumilla spot, on one of the
chromosomes from the  "8
chromosomes"  set.

RE; Chocolate Truffle.  TB X
pumilla = SDB  No exceptions.
And for kickers, ruffles" a recessive trait that
just isn't present in 
pumilla
species. So where are genes for ruffles coming
from?  Hell's Fire is a 
reddish
black, with  multiple dosages of Ae (check
pedigree)  Thus  all seedlings 
will
be purple in a cross with a yellow. So
are you still believing this 
pedigree?

Amphidiploid version could.

Agree, spots are interesting.

TB e-register from pumila, first generation.
There is another one
registered as a TB, but class is probably a typo - it's
IB height.
Others SDB breeding? fertile IBs? cross overs?

CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE
  (Mark Grumbine, R. 2006) Sdlg. MG04-407-7. TB, 29"
(74 cm), EM     S. light
yellow-brown; F. dark mahogany brown, light
yellow area around beards and
shoulders; beards orange; ruffled. Hells
Fire X I. pumila, yellow

eagerly
waiting to see the '39 checklist (Mike, any more TBs registered
from that era
from pumilas?)

Are there more?  What about the pumila spot work that Blyth
was doing,
trying to bring spot 'up' to TB size? Zing Me.
