I'm not sure but it seems from what seed I've raised and what others have
raised. There are two possibilitys maybe more.
1) There is a gene that works as a dosage factor a few of the genes and
the plant is a carrier for the SA gene but no expression of such.
Some more of the gene and you get the smaller horns. More and you get
the longer ones.
More and you get the Spoons.
If it inherited all Dominet Expression It has those large spoons or
scoops. Since there is a lot of Skyhooks floating around out there as a
parent and grandparent and greatgrand parent. If you get to line bred I
suppose you get problems. Not as soon as in animals but sooner or later.
2) The other is that you have different genes controlling the different
spaceage appendages and they don't work together and you never know what
you will get.
I tend to believe in the dosage factor. That the different genes are
linked and work together. Now you never know how the genes will pair up no
expression or full expression or 3 or 4 different ones in between. From
the same cross I have a seedling no expression a light blue near white.
White with lt. yellow rims and horns. white with lt. yellow rims and
Spoons. Creamy near white with horns and spoons. Now from Skyhooks crossed
to things without Sa appendages (don't know if they had Sa genes hidden
somewhere or not) I had seedlings in a lot of colors Some of them had
horns most didn't have appendages but at least one had spoons. Skyhooks
hasn't ever had spoons for me. However there are its spooned desendants
out there.
