Basic Clivia Genetics

This is very basic Mendilian Theory
Mutation: Chubbs Peach (Group 1)
lll
General

Chubbs Peach was a habitat collected plant, it did not have great form, but the breeding possibilities are endless. This shows how some basic breeding will result in different outcomes, using basil Mendilian Genetics

Chubbs Peach is known to fall into the so called Group 1 Peach mutations

The first cross is Chubbs Peach onto a Group1 Yellow

l

From the results you can see that you will get 100% Peach, but split for Yellow (carries the Yellow gene)
These will visibly be Peach due to the fact that Chubbs Peach is dominant over Yellow, these will be F1 plants (first generation)

Now we can cross the F1 Peach split Yellows

l

Here we can see that we get 25% Pure Peach, 50% Peach split Yellow, and 25% Yellow, so you will get 75% Peach plants and 25% Yellow

Now crossing a Peach split Yellow back to a Yellow

l

You will see that we get 50% F2 (2nd generation)Yelllows and 50% F2Peach split Yellow

When we then cross a Peach split Yellow back onto a pure Chubbs Peach

l

We get 50% Peach and 50% Peach split Yellow

If we had crossed Chubbs Peach with a normal wildtype Orange

l

The results show that we get 100% Orange split Peach (Orange is dominant over Peach)

Now crossing these Orange split Peach back to each other

l

We get 25% Orange, 50% Orange split Peach and 25% Peach, we have to test breed the Oranges to determine which are split for Peach

Crossing and Orange split Peach with a Peach split Yellow

l

We get 25% Peach, 25% Peach split Yellow, 25% Orange split Peach and 25% Orange split Yellow (The oranges will have to be test bred to determine which are split for Yellow and which are split for Peach)

Crossing Chubbs Peach onto another Chubbs Peach

1

We get 100% F2 Chubbs Peach


Gardens... should be like lovely, well-shaped girls:  all curves, secret corners, unexpected deviations, seductive surprises and then still more curves.
