Rosette Anthocyanin Standard 1-131

Sold in packs of 100 seeds.

Plants of stock 1-131, rosette, exhibit extreme shortening of internodes with leaves pressed close to the soil.  The hypocotyl is shortened and cotyledon emergence may be delayed by 1-2 days.  

Leaves are a darker green hue than standard.  Leaf development and flowering are delayed by a few days.  

Seed pods are shortened.  Rosette plants produce less gibberellin than standard.  Application of gibberellic acid to leaves or soil results in elongated growth. 

Stock 1-131 has been selected to have strong expression of purple anthocyanin, Pan (8), however the application of gibberellic acid to the plant also results in reduced anthocyanin expression.

This stock was selected and bred from a naturally occurring rosette mutant in an early selection of 1-33.
