I believe we have been using the term ‘phenotype’ wrong for decades

bravo, youve been reportet.

Wow don’t like how a conversation goes so you have to flag posts , tid bit sensitive are we ? Not hearing what you want. Your asking questions that have been answered , you either agree or disagree with the answers but you have to at some point come to your own conclusions and stop looking for somebody to give you some golden formula for plant breeding.
Unless your Luther Burbank the plants are going to always have some unpredictability that will require you to do the work and test the results. No book is going to tell you everything about every landrace and if they do it would be more opinion then actual data based conclusions.
Why don’t you write the book you dream of and tell us all how to perfectly preserve landraces with out bottlenecking occurring. Some people can’t except the rules of nature and that is just to bad. Inbreeding always leads to the same things , sometimes faster then others.

you too, reported.

None of that is true. I gunna bag the top half of haze plant same time open pollinate renew
stock and isolate idiotype simultaneous like a reverse of what you see on mj botany cover. It’s not any of it complicated. Any fool can do it. But I guess the world needs ditch diggers too.

Breeding on a mass scale can be achieved by anyone even with a limited amount of space. If an individual truly wants to breed and wishes to preserve genetics, always clone and only run clones in flower…you can run entire populations on a single grafted plant. 100+ cuts per plant. Sure it takes a significant input of time and energy but where there is a will there is a way…no hill for a climber so to speak.

Genotype is a seed.
Phenotype is taking clones of that seed and having it express different expressions in different environments.

To truly “pheno hunt,” one must use clones in different environments to find peak expression.

Then there’s the whole frequency thing - how often does a genotype pop up in a batch of a given amount of seeds. This is where some breeders become exclusive breeders and some breeders become inclusive breeders.

If one really wants to get into breeding, ignore the wook-science of the canna industry and read up on NCBI - peer-reviewed scientific journals.

Most of us are auties. Sam talks to the camera by means of a sock puppet ffs. I am just Tom no collective I don’t do gangs or any of that.

Most every good breeder and also medicine men/women are on the spectrum
I have a thesis that the autism gene is the shaman gene. We can pass through many realms with ease and sense things in Nature that others aren’t sensitive too. Just, it sucks to “hear” electricity and feel the vibrations from the bathroom fan.

This is kind of funny because I used to run landraces under floros in a large open space…different populations, all the same environment…it even translates into the breeding process once that gets rolling.

I wonder what I missed back then :rofl:?

If you can identify and look closely you can tell cultivars that were breed in such a manner…lots of plants under floros…I like calling them soft vegging plants, instead of slow veggers.

At the end of the story, are my children (with same female) just different phenotypes?

Different genotypes.
If you feed each of them different food, thats a different phenotype.

DNA vs RNA
