Simple 50% cyan2 Lily
This is currently needed for Xenobotany in Upper Egypt.
Supplies:
- 2 silken bulbs
- 2 clarity bulbs
- 2 Karnak mutagen #1 (Toxin of Calico, Fuzzy)
- 1 Karnak mutagen #10 (Toxin of Calico, Phosphorescent, Prickly)
Step 1
Move genes from a silken to a silken bulb.The silken genome string is K RRR OOO YYY GGG UUU III K
Left side silken / right side silken, using K#1 mutagen.
The name for the sides will depend on how many crossbreeds you have done so far. Since this is unknown to the author, consider the left side as 1A and the right side as 1B. Resulting genomes.
- 1A : K R(G)R OOO YYY GGG UUU III K
- 1B : K RRR OOO YYY (R)GG UUU III K
STEP 2
Move a gene from a from 1B to clarity. The first step was to get the right gene in the right place for the move.The clarity genome string = K IRIR IOIO IYIY GORR GROR GRRO GORR GROR GRRO K
Left side 1B (from step 1) / right side Clarity, using K#10. Left side is 2A, right is 2B.
- 2A : K RRR OOO YYY (O)GG UUU III K
- 2B : K IRIR IOIO IYIY GORR GROR GRRO GORR GROR GRR(R) K
Step 3
Move another gene from a clarity bulb.Left side Clarity / right side 2B, using K#1. Left side is 3A, right is 3B.
- 3A = K IRI(O) IOIO IYIY GORR GROR GRRO GORR GROR GRRO K
- 3B = K IRIR IOIO IYIY GORR GR(R)R GRRO GORR GROR GRRR K
3B is the bulb we are looking for.
Analysis
Lily 3B| K | end of genome |
| IR | outer stamin cyan |
| IR | outer stamin cyan |
| IO | outer stamin magenta |
| IO | outer stamin magenta |
| IY | outer stamin yellow |
| IY | outer stamin yellow |
| GORR | outer petal set 1 cyan |
| GRRR | outer petal set 2 cyan |
| GRRO | outer petal set 1 yellow |
| GORR | outer petal set 1 cyan |
| GROR | outer petal set 1 magenta |
| GRRR | outer petal set 2 cyan |
| K | end of genome |
This gives:
- Outer stamen has equal parts of cyan, yellow, and magenta, twice each giving gray2
- Outer petal set 2 has cyan twice giving cyan 2
- Outer petal set 1 has cyan twice, yellow and magenta once, giving a grayish tone over cyan2. Or gray1 plus another cyan.
A useful thing to note is that university donations are minimum requirements. The presence of cyan2 in 50% of the petals is the determining factor. The extra magenta and yellow are not considered.
Orchid
BlueGrass was nice enough to try out this recipe, the result is shown on the right side. If you look carefully you can see that three of the outer petals are darker than the other three.
Higher percentage Cyan2 lilies
Bulb 3B can be used as a base for a higher cyan, either in intensity or percentage. I am currently looking into converting some of the outer petal colors into inner petal (G->U conversions) for the 75% cyan2 needed in Sinai. Further work after that is the 100% cyan2 needed in Lower Egypt.
Better explanation following, but people have asked for these instructions. To add a single cyan petal set to the above bulb (1 of 2 needed for the 75%cyan2 req in Sinai). In effect, this process changed the gene string GROR to URRR.
- 1: Silken / Silken, UE1 = Result 1A and 1B
- 2: Result 1A / (your 50% cyan bulb from above), UE1 = Result 2A & 2B
- 3: Silken / Silken, K5 = Result 3A & 3B
- 4: Result 3A / Result 3B, K12 = Result 4A & 4B
- 5: Result 4A / Result 2B, K12 = Result 5A & 5B
5b is the bulb you are looking for.
Top: Result 1B; Result 2A; Result 4B; Result 5B Bottom: Result 5B Cyan2 lilie
75% cyan2, plus a cyan 1 petal set
- RESULT from Above / silken, 7L1 = Orchid 642 & Orchid 643
- Silken / Silken, K15 = Orchid 644 & Orchid 645
- Orchid 644 / Orchid 642, K17 = Orchid 646 & Orchid 647
- Silken / Silken, K3 = Orchid 648 & Orchid 649
- Orchid 649 / Orchid 648, K2 = Orchid 650 & Orchid 651
- Orchid 651 / clarity, LE4 = Orchid 652 & Orchid 653
100% cyan, Finally!
