Sea Lily Genome Theory

Genomes separated into phenomes or gene sets that affect the color, size and fertilization rate of a lily.

Lily Color Phenomes

  • R = Cyan
  • O = Magenta
  • Y = Yellow
    • Red = Magenta(O) + Yellow(Y)
    • Green = Cyan(R) + Yellow(Y)
    • Blue = Cyan(R) + Magenta(O)
    • Black/Grey = Cyan(R) + Magenta(O) + Yellow(Y)
    • Orange = Magenta(O) + Yellow(Y) + Yellow(Y)

Four(4) Shades of a color exist which produce progressively richer and denser coloring from 1 to 4. Notation is Colorx where x=1 to 4 shades.

  • Example: Mag2 = Two shades of Magenta = GOOO GOOO


Flower Part Coloring Notation by Gene Code

  • Stamen can be Ix(Upper Stamen) Ixx(Middle Stamen) or Ixxx(Lower Stamen) See Stamen Layering Note.
  • Inner East Petal Set Uxxx (Where x = R, O or Y of the above lily colors)
  • Inner West Petal Set Uxyz
    • UORR = Cyan
    • UROO = Magenta
    • UROR = Yellow
  • Outer South Petal Set Gxxx (Where x = R, O or Y of the above lily colors)
  • Outer North Petal Set Gxyz
    • GORR = Cyan
    • GROR = Magenta
    • GRRO = Yellow

Note:Stamen Layering. Color shades increase on the separate stamen levels from upper(richest color) to lower(weakest shade) by combination of the gene sets. Example:
..........Ix
..........Ix x
..........Ix x x
Shade 3 2 1

Note: Petal sets. There are 6 outer petals and 6 inner petals arranged around the stamen. A petal gene set colors 3 alternating petals. For example, the Outer North Petal Set consists of the north, southeast and southwest petals being colored grey on Clarity. The Inner West Petal Set consists of the west, northeast and southeast petals being colored red on Crown.

Size Phenomes

Normal size = 0.0 (size of most original lilies)
Giant gene set = ROYG = +0.5
Dwarf gene set = GYOR = -1.0 (size of Delicate)
Semidwarf = ROYG(Giant) + GYOR(Dwarf) = +0.5 + (-)1.0 = -0.5 (size of Dusk)

Fertilization Rate Phenomes

Default lily fertilization rate = 48.
'V' gene reduces regular fertilization by 2.

  • Example: Energy requires the least number of fertilizations because it contains ten(10) 'V' genes or 10 x 2 ferts less than the default of 48 fertilizations or just 28 ferts to split. See Genomes and Phenome Theories Links

Rose Genome Theory

Color is encoded as below for petals:

  • O=Cyan
  • G=Yellow
  • Y=Magenta
  • Rxx = Lower Petal
  • xxR = Upper Petal

Color is encoded as below for stamen and leaves:

  • R=Cyan
  • O=Magenta
  • Y=Yellow
  • xU = Stamen
  • Ux = Leaves

Size is encoded as below:

ROYGU = Giant x 1
UGYOR = Dwarf x 1

Number of ferts until bulb split is achieved is still a mystery as to which genes control this aspect.
