Brassica rapa. A genetic time-saver!
Don't have time to carry a cross from the parental generation?
We've got you covered with both F1 and F2 generations of Wisconsin Fast Plants® seed.
F1 generation seed will express dominant traits (purple stems, dark green leaves, standard height) and can be used to produce F2 seed that will show the typical monohybrid (3:1) or dihybrid (9:3:3:1) phenotypic ratios.
F2 seed will express the appropriate phenotypic ratios.
The result: more genetic concepts learned in less time.
Our F2 Non-Purple Stem, Yellow-Green Leaf stock produces F2 plants that show dihybrid segregation of Purple Stem:Non-Purple Stem and Dark Green Leaf:Yellow-Green Leaf. Score phenotypes at 3 to 5 days.
For best expression, it requires high light intensity (24 hr, 5 to 10 cm from light source).
Main uses include dihybrid genetics studies.
Note: the Yellow-Green Leaf trait must be observed in plants that are grown in soil; this trait cannot be distinguished in seedlings that are germinated on paper towel.
Pack: 250 seeds.
