Green flesh question??

[swampr]

As green flesh is used as the defining characteristic for purple and brown tomatoes, how much green flesh is needed? Are green veins through red flesh the same thing? How about green gel? is that a completley different trait? I'm sure green shoulders are not what is meant.

This cross pictured is between an orange cherry and a pink cherry that may actually be purple, I'm doubting that these color schemes are as precise as advertised.

Looking closer that the f1 cherry parent and I noticed it has distinct green veins in the flesh that show thru the clear skin and also has deep green gel. I assume that it is therefore purple, or trending toward that. Is there a gradation, or does it either possess or lack green flesh? The green gel of this parent cherry was also expressed in several other crosses made with it.

Maybe your question is just a bit vague. Are you looking for answers as to whether or not gf can be expressed in different variations or levels? My understanding is that there are different alleles present with the gene for green flesh which may or may not explain why you are seeing the variation that you are. That is beyond my level of understanding.

here's a picture of the fruit I was asking about. As you can see the gel is very green.

this picture shows the green gel appearing as veins through the flesh visible through the skin. Not sure if this qualifies as green flesh.
