Love how you brought him up. !!

RobStar said:Troy produced the Primo and it has been labelled as the 7 Pot Primo ever since but in strict terms it should be called Capsicum "Primo" as the 7 Pot is a distinctive cultivar in it's own right. Different versions of the 7 Pot - such as colour variations or somewhat different phenotypes can be called 7 Pot Yellow or 7 Pot Jonah.

I think this is arbitrary. The 7 pot yellow seems far more removed from a 7 pot original than the 7 pot Primo. I don't understand why you would consider the yellow 7 pot a 7 pot and not the Primo. The yellow tastes radically different. The 7 pot Primo taste very much like a 7 pot. However, I can understand wanting crosses to not be considered one parent over the other. That of course isn't what's happening.

The Y 7 Pot is a colour mutation of the 7 Pot. Red appears to be the dominant colour but plants can carry recessive genes for other colours (within their genetic capability). Constant growing from seed - thereby allowing for recombination of genetic material will result in recessive genes manifesting - esp. if you are sowing seed produced from a few plants - and obviously lots of seed. Then these recessive colours can be manifested. So they are the same thing - just a difference in fruit colour. Of course one can line breed these Y fruits and eventually stabilise them and you have a cultivar.
The Primo is a cross between the 7 Pot and a Naga Morich. It is an entirely different recombination of genes and therefore NOT a 7 Pot or a Naga. So call it what you want but it is not a 7 Pot because it has been crossed with a "not 7 Pot". In the world of plant breeding and cultivar naming this is strictly upheld - unless the grex is derived from multiple hybrid parents to start with - then the original hybrid names feature in the naming. Unfortunately with 7 Pots being all theb rage and mega-hype, include it in the name so it is instantly trending. True story.
You waste your time...RobStar said:Oh dear. You carry on living in that world of yours where the earth is flat and the sun revolves around us. Must be nice there.
RobStar said:And this is why I reckon we need a Cultivar/hybrid registry. IMO there are too many things which are barely, if even, different from the original that are acquiring names - heck man there are things that aren't anywhere near the original getting friggin names so that they are on the wagon! E.g 7 Pot Burgundy!!!!!! A Congo yes, 7 Pot no!
If you look at a bromeliad registry - if you wanna name something you have to show parentage, show what the differences are etc. This info is not necessarily made available to all and sundry. It is kept on the register to prove that your thang is different to someone else's thang.
I love the way that even a Primo is called a 7 Pot - it isn't. It is an outcross with a Naga and therefore should just be called a Primo. Strangely enough, the BrainStrain is a genuine 7 Pot but isn't called that. The Burgundy is but it isn't and so it goes on and on and on.
All of this is rather confusing and quite convoluted. At the end of the day nobody is going to know what is what and it will be a quagmire of BS names and nobody the wiser for all the dilly-dallying.
Carl von Linné couldn't even keep his own name straight, but he wanted everyone else to.Spicegeist said:

also this form would be a good start for the submission they have all the details covered and you would just have to add fields for the cross, parents, and hybridizer info http://applicaties.wageningenur.nl/applications/cgngenis/AccessionDetails.aspx?acnumber=CGN22184RobStar said:Thanks Chris! I will download the docs and scrutinise them. I think it is high time for a registry.
Cheers

RobStar said:If you don't understand the basic genetics of the plants you apparently breeding then you tinkering without a predertimed outcome - that is not plant breeding. That is playing in your garden with your plants. Plant breeding is a labrious systematic process that involves fixing the genetic traits of a plant and combining those with another to arrive at a predertimed outcome. if you do not subscribe to that methodology then i agree with Vegas_Chili - I am wasting my time.

Because I don't know what naming convention you want us to use? Or because I will still use the name 7 pot Primo as everyone does on this site? Clarify what the hell you are saying and don't be a condescending jerk.
Is this aimed at me? I don't think we necessarily need a predetermined outcome. I've made predictions in one of my crosses before on this site that were accurate. The goal for all of mine are based primarily on flavor. I understand the basics of genetics if you didn't know your majesty.
