Choosing Which Plant Gets Reversed

[justicebzwieg]

Breeders decide which of two parents becomes the pollen donor, and that choice is not random. Some traits, particularly those tied to plant structure and certain aroma profiles, seem to pass more reliably through the seed mother than through reversed pollen. Notes on why breeders pick one direction over the other for a given cross are discussed at https://queenfeminizedseeds.com, with examples from published pedigrees. When a listing names both parents, the order often tells you who was reversed.
