Question about tomato genetics.
Let's say that I want to cross Tomatoes X and Y to get an F1 hybrid.
If I pollinate an X flower with Y pollen, will the F1 hybrid be the same as if I had pollinated the Y flower with X pollen? Are there specific treats that the resulting F1 will get from the pollen and specific treats it will get from the flower, or doesn't it matter whether the flower is X and pollen is Y or the flower is Y and pollen is X? Thanks! Hilde |
