RE: REAL selfing (:GENETICS)
I noticed that also, as well as the following quote from Troy Nayler
(out of context):
"Seems the Zehr line is more of a Atlantic Giant Vs the Dills Atlantic
Giant (longer and flatter)."

I am curious...I thought the Atlantic Giant was Howard Dill's creation?
If so, why does this guy at Indiana Biolabs (reference your earlier
link) indicate that AG's have been around for nearly a century. I know
Howard is getting up in age, but come on!

Kath, did you read Chapter 23, "Conversations with a Squash" in Carol
Deppe's book? Also, there's supposedly (depending on who is the source)
40, 44 or 48 chromosomes for C. Maxima varieties and chromosomes may
have hundreds or thousands of genes. There's a lot of good reading in
the book, however it takes a while to understand it, it's not something
I would recommend as reading for a backyard gardener, crop farmer or the
general person trying to grow an AG-- it's very technical-termed and
hard to remember all the terminology.
I remember saving some webpages a year or two ago and did a search thru
about 65 gigs of files on my computer and 2 external drives and FINALLY
found the pages (and recognize some of the names as list members) having
to do with Genetics, white seeds, tan seeds, Dominant traits, etc. I'm
not sure if this stuff is AGGC original content or made it into that
site, I was cancelled admittance to that site when it did a
rearrangement last year (I thought acceptable contributions meant
content, how-to's, articles, pics, etc.) I did a search for the pages
and some are still on the web; start here:
http://www.disknet.com/indiana_biolab/pk.htm
Hope this helps.
Mark K.
P.S. Mike, e-mail me what the current "acceptable contributions" are.

Still curious to know which AG genes are believed to be dominant, and
whether any traits are linked. Thanks! Kathie
