pubescens Rocoto X Wilds

J

jooboo

Experimenting crossing my Variegated Rocoto with a couple of wilds. Unfortunately my Eximium didn't survive to do the full wilds.
1&2 Cardenasii looks successful
3,4 & 5 Eshbaughnasii early stages to say.
6-7 my Variegated Rocoto.
Any thoughts?
Anyone know how I get hold of C. Geminifolium in the UK?

The next couple generations should be real interesting! I can’t wait to see what you get. You might have to grow out out a hundred of each in the f2 lol

Yes I get that at F2. I'll be asking for help at F2. I also have other F1 crosses with the Variegated Rocoto that I'll be asking for help to find as many phenos as possible.

Good luck with your project. I am not sure what is going on in the photo. There are pods of all shapes,sizes and colors? What plant is variegated?

Interested to see what comes out in the C.geminifolium hybrid. They have a different count in chromosome pairs and would really be a feat.

No sorry, I'm not trying to cross geminifolium, I'm just trying to get hold of seeds for them.
The Rocoto is variegated, so I should hopefully see Variegation at F2. I crossed it with Eshbaughnasii & Cardenasii both ways. Unfortunately my Eximiun didn't germinate so I couldn't do that cross.
 
If the variegation were indeed inherited maternally, it would appear immediately in all F1 from a variegated mother. The pollen donor would not pass on this trait at all.
 
Ah, thank you.
I have one F1 cross Rocoto x Rocoto showing Variegation and I have quite a few not.
Still be interesting to see what they produce.

I've just been asking a friend about this and they say Variegation is possible through a pollen donor and also not all F1s from a mother would show up variegated, some would appear at F2. Time will tell I guess. I'll see what F2s bring. It'll be interesting to see what happens.
