Abstract excerpt

Different heritable expression-states were programmed into R alleles from R/R-1st heterozygotes under different temperature conditions applied during a developmental period in which flowering is induced. At maturity, R-allele expressions in test crosses of male gametes derived from R/R-1st seedli...
