Would GWR/black tomato have similar flower colors due to presence of gf/gf?
I haven't confirmed but I expect that GWR would be indistinguishable from black. Last year the combination of gf/gf at least with one Beta allele, looked the same as a plain black.

If you look at the flower colour thread, there was research posted that showed differences between yellow and red type flowers too. This makes me think that modifiers affect the outcome in certain lines, and that there's plenty more to be learned by careful observation of the larger pool of tomato varieties.
