Narrative
Segregates for mutable allele (c2-m1) at the C2 locus that behaves as a transposable element. About 70% of plants white flowered, 20% mutable with streaks and sectors of purple pigment in otherwise white flower petals, and 5% purple where reversion to purple took place in gametogenesis. Vernal and Saranac in background and fertility and adaptation are similar to these varieties.
