| Hey everyone
I wanted to cross a Asian birds eye and a jalape�o, and after doing some research, I found that a crossing table says that frutescens x annuum will result in 'normal germination'. Does anyone know what's the difference between this and say, highly fertile? Btw, the crossing table is from fatalii.net |

| Interesting site. Reminds me not to be proud of how big my plant had gotten... (Btw, what language is that? Looks vaguely Nordic.)

| Finnish: "taste the quality of domestic" As to the original question, I don't see that "normal germination" speaks to fertility at all. The two descriptions appear to be orthogonal. |

| well maybe it means 'f1 is sterile'? many other crossing tables say that it crosses sporadically. |
|
| Howdy, I have a question. Guysensei1 mentioned a crossing table. Where can I find that? Sounds both interesting and very useful. George |

| The table that edymnion posted also has 'normal germination' listed. Has any cross ever been made of the species listed as 'NG'? |
|
| Yes. I means that the resulting hybrid seeds germinated normally. Contrast that to IV, or "inviable", where the cross produced seeds, but the seeds did not germinate. The chart is obviously from a paper describing experiments. It would be nice to see the original paper. As I say above, the entries seem to be describing different things about the crosses. |
