No idea whether the high chlorophyll is a stabilized trait at F2 or not. All of the fruit from this cross had lots of dark green before ripe, but in the case of pinks and reds it could still be a gf allele in the mix. Frogsleap mentioned in his recent blog that best tasting fruit were often high in chlorophyll or gf selections. I didn't find that dark shoulders alone was a guarantee of good taste, but in the final analysis, all of the best tasting selections were unusually darker than the others with lots of chlorophyll, so I have to agree with his observations. |

From my research about hight lycopene varieties, something interesting came up but i've been unable to find the germplasm even in the catalog of some spanish genebanks. If anyone can get its hands on it ...

What is interesting is that it has more lycopene than the hp and og^c mutant (if i guess correctly what mutants have been used in the study). |
