Dear AG Growers
As you know, I have said on this list that I am going to do some
selfing of AG this summer hoping to discover new gene loci.
Since many of you have selfed AG, I could save a whole year or two if
you could give me one or more of your seeds--or tell me what grows from
them in your garden.
Do not send any seeds now, but if you can spare some seeds from selfed
plants (female flower was protected and got only the pollen you placed
on the stigma from a male flower on the same vine), please send me an
e-mail at my address below. Since vines can get very mixed together, I
am only interested in seeds where you know the male and female flowers
were on the same vine.
If you have seeds which were selfed two generations in succession, I
would be especially interested in those. Example: Original --selfed-->
S1 fruit --selfed--> S2 fruit. These do not have to be super Giant
lines, as one of my goals is just to find new genes.
Since our goal is find new loci, we would not need to grow all plants
to adulthood. Therefore, less space is needed.
