Dear Gunnar: Are you quite sure that your seedlings are from I.
flavescens? I hope they are, but I had thought that I flavescense was
sterile. If you can introduce resistance to leaf spot, you will have done
an excellent thing. I would warn you that the seedlings are apt to be
rather poor in form in this first generation. Lloyd Zurbrigg in Durham NC.
