genetics / breeding

Aprox. 50 List growers ordered the
Northwest Seminar video on genetics.
The Seminar speakers talked about controlling
the B gene and the R gene and suggested
ways to do this.
They also discussed "backcrossing".

Any thoughts from any grower who has
watched the tape.........MB, Joe, Rock, Rocky,
AE, Larry, Barb, Beth, Bob, Mike, Shell,
Jon..........

Do we go for size first, then color.....or the
other way around ?
also
I think the Speakers put too much emphasis
on environment.  What do y'all think ?

note -- for those who have never heard of 
the B gene, R gene thing,  I will let someone
with a better background in genetics than
I  explain it.  Any volunteers ?
