Do you know the parentage of the female and male plants used in the cross?
admmad said:The concepts of dominant (and recessive), codominance and incomplete dominance work best when the crosses are between inbred lines and in particular inbred lines that differ only in the same characteristic - that is, they have been made genetically identical except for that one characteristic. When the crosses are between two completely different lines (or strains, etc.) it becomes much more difficult to assign a simple label. Without more information, particularly what do the other seedlings from the same crosses look like, it is not possible to provide an explanation with reasonable confidence.
