It should be noted here that the OSU Blue that "escaped" reportedly via a lab employee may not be the exact same line as P20, which was made available by OSU tomato breeding program administrators to certain "tomato breeders" subject to a seed transfer agreement.

I say that because the often seen designation "OSU Blue/P20" leaves one with the impression that OSU Blue and P20 are one in the same breeding line, and I was told by Dr. Myers that is not exactly the case.
