RE: Re: Purple Leaf Base


John, the popular opinion has been that PBF is dominant.  Are you saying
that some of the crosses you have made with one PBF parent resulted in no
PBF in the offspring when half of them should show some signs of PBF?
 
I believe there was a recent article in an AIS bulletin that discussed PBF
and inheritance.

Let me explain. I first thought that PBF was  dominant.This is that one of 
the parents
had to express this modifer to pass it on.But from making a few test crosses

and 500 seedlings. I found it to be a ressive trait.This means that both of 
the parents carry the modifer but do not express it.So we do not see it but 
we know it's there.
So lets say that we cross a PBF with a non PBF and get none.We know that non
PBF parent doesn't carry this modifer.But we can also cross a non PBF to 
another
non PBF and if we get PBF seedlings they both have to carry this
modifer.Some 
iris
don't express this modifer as well you really have to look close sometimes
in 
late fall
or early spring to see it.More test need to be done to beter understand 
PBF.3/4 of my seedlings have PBF.
