Frog, atv and abg are up-regulated in cool temps. aft is up-regulated at higher UV exposure. Because higher UV levels usually correspond with higher temps, this gives the impression that high temps are the cause of excess fruit anthocyanin when in fact the culprit is UV. atv tends to express in vegetative tissue while aft tends to express in the skin and pericarp of fruit.
I've got a couple of lines with seed started. One is a black on black from crossing P20 with a black fruited line. Another is a very sweet line derived from Sungold, Little Lucky, Lucky Cross, Purple Haze, and P20. The fruit are an almost iridescent brilliant red with dark blue/black shoulders.
