Start with [[Genetics for Dummies]] if you don't know ANYTHING about crossbreeding. Regardless of whether you know anything about real world genetics, you should read it because ATitD genetics are different. Next, read [[Crossbreeding and Hints]] to find out how the genome of a crossbred plant is determined. Lastly, examine [[Mutagens]] if you're interested in how mutagens modify a plant's genome.

In ATITD, a plants genome is not a sequence of base pairs, though that should have been fairly obvious. No, it's a sequence of colors instead. Here's a table of them (shamelessly filched from [[Gentics for Dummies]]):

If you're still interested in crossbreeding after all that mathematics and logic, you should check out [[Flax Genome Theories]] to find out color sequences in flax genomes that affect yield, weeding and other factors, or [[Flower Genome Theories]] for similar information relating to various flowers, not to mention [[Rose Genome Theories]]. You should be able to work out what you use that last page for on your own...

If a certain sequence of genes (called a "phenome") appears in a plant's genome, it will influence the plant when it's grown.. For example, testing has shown that for every OR (orange red) that appears in a flax plant's genome, it will need one less weeding than the default (which, incidentally, is five, not two).

In ATITD, a plants genome is not a sequence of base pairs, though that should have been fairly obvious. No, it's a sequence of colors instead. Here's a table of them (shamelessly filched from Gentics for Dummies):

Gene Color Abbreviation Used In Not Used In
Black K All Plants  
Red R All plants  
Orange O All plants  
Yellow Y All plants  
Green G All plants  
Blue U Orchids, Rose of Ra, Sand Blooms, Sea Lilies Flax, Grape Vines, Wheat
Indigo I Orchids, Rose of Ra, Sand Blooms, Sea Lilies Flax, Grape Vines, Wheat
Violet V Sea Lilies Flax, Grape Vines, Orchids, Rose of Ra, Sand Blooms, Wheat

If a certain sequence of genes (called a "phenome") appears in a plant's genome, it will influence the plant when it's grown.. For example, testing has shown that for every OR (orange red) that appears in a flax plant's genome, it will need one less weeding than the default (which, incidentally, is five, not two).
