| 0 | 1433256 | PI 538320 | K283 | Amaranthus cruentus L. | Pennsylvania, United States | |  | red blank flowers and white seed-setting flowers | sample size=48 | Row 138 A novel amaranth trait: red blank flowers and white seed-setting flowers, was noticed for the first time, by David Brenner in December 2020 on this accession.Images of PI 538320 in GRIN show this trait, which also occurs in other accessions. The white flowers have set seeds for normal seed production, but the red flowers are smaller and blank, meaning that they have not set seeds. This coloring creates a polka-dot color pattern across the inflorescence. Presumably the color contrast develops after pollination. | PI 538320 03ncai01 SD |
