I have been doing a little bit of pea breeding, and have been researching pod colour genes. It seems that there are two different sets, on different chromosomes (so they are inherited independently). Also, the genes for 'mangetout' (thin pod walls) is on a separate one again. From what I have read, edible pods should be dominant over inedible (although isn't always the case in my hybrids..?). <br />So, green pod is dominant over yellow pod, and purple is dominant over non-purple (as your hybrids show). My guess is that the red is from purple overlaid on yellow pods. When it is overlaid on green, you get the purple-brownish colour (if that makes sense!)<br />So, the good news is that if you can cross your red non-edible pea (if you have any left- if not, recreate it with purple x yellow) with the yellow mangetout, the cross will be a mix of yellows and reds. These should be edible, but if not, one more back-cross of the reds into the yellow mangetout should do the trick! <br />Have been reading your fab blog for several years, keep up the great work :) Kathy in AustraliaKathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00476410766937689648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23047857.post-71410596529752984992010-06-11T01:44:28.262+01:002010-06-11T01:44:28.262+01:00Owen, thank you - the blog admiration is entirely ...Owen, thank you - the blog admiration is entirely mutual.

Your blog is brilliant and really ought to be turned into a planty version of Bridget Jones' Diary - a guaranteed best seller, containing as it does the themes of love, loss, sex (of the plant variety) and triumph over adversity. Chapter 15, The Arse of Doom - who could resist that?Rhizowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13898344291012563139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23047857.post-72172897867458234332010-06-01T10:41:03.224+01:002010-06-01T10:41:03.224+01:00What an incredible blossom.

I was able to cross a couple other peas though (I think Margaret McKee's Baking Pea x Sparkle). Not sure what I could get from this cross but it was fun. I need to find my list of what I planted where so I can try some more. I don't think the peas will last too much longer here though as hot weather will be here soon.
