Generational Stability
F1 - Filial 1st generational descendant
F2 - Filial 2nd generational descendant
F3 - Filial 3rd generational descendant
F4 - Filial 4th generational descendant
F5 - Filial 5th generational descendant
... typically not tracked after F5 but this continues
 
Don't forget these
F stands for Filial which just means the generations after the original parents such as with a person like Jr., 3rd, 4th ect....
 
F1 - First generation after a cross Unstable (children of parent plants)
F2 - Second generation after a cross (Grand Ghildren of parent plants)
F3 - Third generation after a cross (Great Grand Children of parent plants)
F4 - Fourth Generation after a cross (Great Great Grand Children of parent plants)
 
And so on
 
Also here is a link that goes a little bit more indepth into the science of how it works.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the F1 generation produces stable plants that are nearly identical. The seeds in the F1 will be unstable when growing out the F2 generation.

Just doing this in general terms so people get the hint.
 
This is very welcome to a newbie like me; I've gradually been picking up on some of the acronyms and abbreviations but some still eluded me.  I assume you will update the first post as you get more suggestions?  Is there any chance you can put the abbreviations alphabetically within each section, to make it easier to find things as the lists get longer?

Thank-you, I was thinking the same thing.

In the same vein as bold/underlined above, can we ask, and hopefully answered, then added to the list?
 
as for updating the original post unfortunately you cannot do that anymore and after a few days it is locked permanently. You will have to re-post with the new updates into the thread.
 
Thanks so much for the alphabetical listing.  I've just used it "in anger" for the first time after seeing CPR on someone's wishlist.  Having worked in the medical field, CPR means cardiopulmonary resuscitation, which didn't really fit the context.

That's a shame but I understand why it's done, from previous experience on other forums.

Hmm.. I didn't know that.  I wonder if there is a way around it, like an admin being able to unlock editing rights.

I haven't tried the CPR yet.  It sounds like it would taste good.  It's one of Butch T's latest creations from what I read in a thread here.  I heard its not as hot as his BTR, which is probably a good thing.  The BTR was the second hottest I've tried.  I couldn't be a video reviewer and keep it rated PG after eating that.

If the parents were line bred and desirable traits fixed then yes the progeny are predictable. If two heterozygous parents are crossed then the progeny will be variable

So we have 

heterozygous - having dissimilar alleles at corresponding chromosomal loci
homozygote - an organism with identical pairs of genes with respect to any given pair of hereditary characters, and therefore breeding true for that character.
 
How does that influence the chart below I lifted from_Tomato Gene Basics. Thank-you in advance!

Well, its all based on calculated probabilities.  So, let's say you take a F4 (with stable parents) and cross it with a F2 (with stable parents), the F2 descendant of the cross would be F4 ((87.5%*50%) + F2 (50%*50%)) / 2 = 34.375% homozygotes at F2 instead of 50%.  But, let's say you take your crossed F2 which is already less stable and cross it again with another F4 (with stable parents), that pepper's F2 descendant would be F4 ((87.5%*50%) + F2 (34.375%*50%)) /2 = 30.46875% homozygotes instead of 50%.  So, as you see the more you cross unstable varieties the more likely it is for different gene expressions from its parental RNA to become dominant in its DNA.
 
Also, in the first cross example where 34.375% is homozygotes it has a 15.625% chance in selecting the other grandparent gene, rather than one of the parents.  In the second cross example where 30.46875% is homozygotes it has a 15.625% chance in selecting the other grandparent gene and a 3.90625% chance of selecting the other great grandparent gene.  And that's for every chromosome selection, so with chances that high you are almost assured to get grandparent gene swapping.

Types of peppers with "Nicknames"
 
What are some other popular nicknames or abreviations.
 
I know I am asking for a lot of info and I could google it but I dont trust google and I really want to see what everyone here says about it.

This thread needed a bump so i thought the above was addressed in it a good reason.

NECM
 
CAP are the ascension numbers of the German "Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK)".
I don't know the German Research Centre for Biotechnology and whether there are connetions to the IPK.
http://www.ipk-gatersleben.de
 
and there are some more:
CO ### should be Asian Vegetable Research And Development Centre in Taiwan
GRIF ### are the old number of the ARS/GRIN (like PI now)
