>>It will be interesting to see what results you get. You realize that to get accurate readings you will need to hold back almost all, or most the offsprings, at least till they start showing their adult colors? I've done that with some of my locally caught Polk County corns.





Jorge, sounds like you assume I've got a good enough handle on the genetics to know what I'm looking at when they're grown, haha. Seriously though, I doubt I'll be the one to do much groundbreaking in figuring out this mess, but I'm hoping I'll be able to send some offspring off to Don Soderburg, Chuck Pritzel, and some of the other corn genetics gurus.



I'm sure I'll be holding some back, but I'll probably have to depend on feedback from others who can keep some to maturity. On the bright side, any color modifiers that turn out not to be compatible/allelic should produce double hets-so there's even a nice silver lining if the immediate results are less than spectacular.
