Gene -> Gene Sets -> Genomes

A gene is a basic physical unit of heredity. A gene in ATITD is expressed as a color. Each color is abbreviated to one letter for ease of use. 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
Blue U Orchids, Rose of Ra, Sand Blooms, Sea Lilies Flax, Grape Vines, Wheat
Green G All plants
Indigo I Orchids, Rose of Ra, Sand Blooms, Sea Lilies Flax, Grape Vines, Wheat
Orange O All plants
Red R All plants
Yellow Y All plants
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)

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.
