If this is the new sequence, then it should have the following flax properties:

  2 seeds  (R-O)
  3 weed/water reductions (O-R), same as Nile Green
  2 flax (G-Y-G-Y)
  0 rotten flax (R-R-G-Y)
  dead zone resistance #1 (G-R-O)
  dead zone resistance #2 (R-O-Y)

As far as it's been tested, this matches how Amtep#2 actually grows.

If the mutagen is consistent in its effects, then Amtep#4 should be identical to Amtep#2. The evidence we have is consistent with that, but there's not yet enough for it to be conclusive.

So far the evidence is consistent with Amtep#8 being identical to Amtep#2, with just one weak spot in the chain. If it's identical, then it probably means repeated applications of a mutagen do nothing.

Like with Amtep#8, it fits the parent so far, but the evidence is still weak.
