RE:Hyb-Pod parent

There doesn't seem to be any difference in regards to broken colour as to which parent is the pod parent. I probably have more BC seedlings with the BC as the pollen parent.
There is a definate preference with streaked foliage. You can't get streaked foliage from a pollen parent. It has to be to be the pod parent. The variagation in foliage is genetic but carried in the cytoplasm in the seed coat where there is no contribution from the pollen parent.
There is no difference in regards to colour  or type of offspring from which parent is the pod parent. There does seem to be some differences in terms of plant characteristics. That is plant vigour, branching, strength of stalk  etc.
