Accidental Cross vs Sport vs Instability
I had a few seeds come up that were a little different than expected. Some of them could be labeling errors, but assuming they are not....
If a seed has been accidentally crossed, whatever trait has been crossed in should show up at a minimum of 25% in the next generation? Is that right? I have one Fatali pepper that has purple leaves, but only one out of about two dozen plants. Maybe my sample size is too small?
With my tomatoes, I had one Sweet Sue come up RL and not PL. I also had a New Big Dwarf that is obviously not a dwarf. Are these "sports?" Or do the varieties just lack a tiny fractional percentage from being 100% stable? Or is that the same thing?
