Some flower friends asked if silver crown brocade seeds can produce brocade after sowing? First, brocade is hereditary (except for brocade spots caused by environment or bacteria), but there is also a probability issue after sowing, for instance, the brocade rate of the paternal parent with brocade is not as high as that of the maternal parent.
Therefore, whether silver crown brocade seeds can produce brocade after sowing mainly depends on the source of the seeds. However, if the number of seeds sown is large, there will definitely be brocade, only the ratio varies.
Let's look at a case, from flower friend snowpalace:
Through personal sowing experiments, it was found that at least some silver crown brocades can be inherited from both the maternal and paternal parents. At the end of last year, some silver crown seeds were sown. The two columns in the following picture are seeds from parents with brocade silver crown.
The left side is with brocade as the maternal parent and non-brocade silver crown as the paternal parent. The brocade rate is very high, with a considerable number being fully brocaded. The right side is with brocade as the paternal parent and non-brocade silver crown as the maternal parent. The brocade situation is also good but lower than that with brocade as the maternal parent.
About the changes in brocade
Brocade is always changing throughout its life. The term 'change' can be understood as instability by some new flower friends (but this instability is not the stereotype of brocade fading). This instability can be understood from three aspects:
1. Changes in brocade color, as the color of brocade may slightly change with the cultivation environment, watering frequency, and growth conditions.
2. The change or instability of brocade is reflected in the unpredictable distribution of new疣 brocade, making the visual effect of brocade change throughout the entire lifecycle. Of course, this change is gradual, and it may not be noticeable on a daily basis, but it can be直观 presented by comparing photos over a year or several years.
3. Regarding change or instability, I believe that seedlings are unstable. As seen before, there may be brocade fading during the seedling stage, but as long as it is brocade, I believe it will appear later. (Here I insert a brief explanation about the brocade semi-production mechanism. There are three mechanisms for brocade production: one is partial or complete variation of nuclear genes, the second is partial variation of chloroplast (chloroplast, mitochondria) genes, and the third is brocade spots caused by environment or bacteria, which can also be considered as seasonal brocade. Generally, the first two types do not have complete brocade fading, even if it fades, it will reappear, and the third type will recover after a period or cause plant death.)
