Principle genes in peas
A = anthocyanin - enables the plant to produce purple/red/blue pigment
b = pink flowers
Bt = blunt tipped pods
ce = rose-pink flowers
D = axillary pigmentation - the pink splodge at the base of the leaf
fa = fasciation gene1 - broad stem common to unbellatum types
fa2 = fasciation gene2 - broad stem common to unbellatum types
fas = fasciation gene3 - broad stem common to umbellatum types
gp = golden pods - common to yellow-podded varieties
I = yellow cotyledons in the seed (the recessive makes green)
lt = wider pods
n = thick pod wall - common to sugarsnap types
p = one of two genes for edible (low fibre) pods
Pl = black hilum
Pu = purple pods gene1
Pur = purple pods gene2
R = round seeds (the recessive type gives wrinkled seeds)
v = one of two genes for edible (low fibre) pods
