I am glad you posted Mark it should shed some light as to the poor souls that had no idea about the genetic expression and thought the plant was lacking in nutrients. Or suffering from, cold lack of phospherous.

Very nice, Ihope they develope the bigger fruits of course they will be segregating.

Im guessing that was one of the BK traits? This was the largest fruited of the OSU Blue F2's I grew last year. In this line anthocyanin accumulation in seedlings and fruit was moderate, but in the fruit it was preferentially expressed in radial stripes (Fs?) giving the tiger-like stripe pattern on red/orange background. This was most obvious late in the season when the fruit were well exposed to the sun.

Mark, is that visible anthocyanin striping pattern on those fruit a product of Fs or simply the light exposed between the sepals? It seems to only be expressing between each of them and more noticeably around the entire top of the fruit on one of them.

Have Blane cut off the sepals on half the fruit and compare to the other half with the sepals left whole. My guess is the stripes correspond with the flesh in the ribs between the locules, and the sepal locations are coincidental.

I suspect it is shadowing from the sepals, but agree w/ PV that clipping them is an easy way to test this. I think it is too early for a Fs pattern like this, but don't clearly remember how early the unique pattern showed up on the parent F2 plant last year.

That was my first thought but it looks to me that it is showing in the middle of the each locule and not in the rib between each of them. I saw this Fs pattern express heavily on the below pic of cherokee purple last season. Clearly in the ribbing between locules.
