I think the person you should ask about this is Mark, Frogsleap farm, who has been involved with nor and rin and other genes that affect ripening.
Personally I've not heard of a Gr gene but do know about the 5 gf genes.
Best to ask Mark about it in the thread he started here called Baffled which is in this same forum below yours.
Here's the link to help you find it but do ask him in his Baffled thread, I think that's best b/c then you can see what he's been dealing with and also his pictures.
