Linda,
Don't know if it's useful, I have a cross from a 48 chrom MTB x SDB. Same
genetics, I would think (got 51 seeds!). In a discussion about an order
with a well-respected hybridizer, he warned against using TB x SDB if you
are hoping to have fertile offspring (ie, can't establish a line), due to
the chromosome mismatch. More a spec-x kind of thing.
