Thanks for sharing that article. Yes my abc seeds pollinated by the vine formed duds. It’s hard to get a picture, looks like sesame seeds formed
I am going to try this hybrid again once I have more legitimo pollen. and the article you shared gives me an idea.
I have colchicine, and also 3,5d oryzalin. which are both similar to the 2,4d used in that article. I will try pollinating the abc with legitimo again, then use 3,5d either added diluted into soil, or sprayed onto the buds once the seeds begin to form.
I get it now after reading, that these chromosome-doubling chemicals are so weak in small doses, they aren’t damaging. and instead can power proper cell division.
So the legitimo abc hybrid seed won’t be able to grow because of the different DNA being too weak. Then the diluted 2,4d or 3,5d will “power” that missing cell division without destroying the seed–Because these chemicals apply all of their force to the cell division system. Which is why they are used also to create non-hybrid tetraploid cells in a lab.
