Breeding summer squash for flower production

Single Recessive Gene for Multiple Flowering in Summer Squash

Nearly all F1 plants, regardless of the direction of the cross, and plants resulting from back-crossing to ‘True French’ were single-flowering. Approximately one-fourth of the F2 plants, regardless of the direction of the cross, and half of the plants of the back-cross to 1777 produced two flowers at one or more leaf axils. These results indicate that the ability to produce more than one flower per axil is conferred by a single recessive gene, herewith designated multiple flowering, symbol mf.

So have you tracked down '1777' yet? I'm guessing your at least half way to obtaining it by now.

Hahah, no, not yet. Maybe i'll start the track some days. I love to track plants
