Gene -> Gene Sets -> Genomes
A gene is a basic physical unit of heredity. A gene in ATITD is named as a color. A correlaton might be in human DNA where there are 4 bases, adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine. Each gene color is abbreviated to one letter for ease of use but DO NOT get color genes confused with gene sets that make colors in flowers. Example: Yellow or Y
A gene set is one or more genes in a specific sequence that controls a plant's physical characteristics. Example: Green Orange Orange Orange or GOOO which colors an outer petal of a lily one shade of magenta
One or more genes or gene sets form a linear sequence we will call a genome. Example: Vampire Sea Lily genome KIYIYIOIYIOIOK
Genes and their abbreviations:
| 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 |
Note: Ending/beginning 'Black' or 'K' genome delimiter is not technically counted as part of the functioning genome. Think of it more like parenthesis around the genome. Example: Vampire Sea Lily (IYIYIOIYIOIO)
The picture below gives an example of using a Crystal Solvent on the Frivolity vine. You receive back a six gene string for with a Crystal Solvent. See below for a link on solvents.
Useful Links for Playing with Plant Genomes
See Genomes and Phenome Theories Links to see a list of all the plant genomes.
See Flower Genome Theories and Flax Genome Theories to understand what individual gene sets control of the individual plant's physical characteristics.
See Nut's Essence and Solvent Making to understand how to produce these items for playing with genes and genomes.
Cross Breeding and Hints is an excellent guide for learning facts and suggestions for better Cross Breeding.
