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. 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(Outer Stamen) Ixx(Middle Stamen) or Ixxx(Inner Stamen)
  • NE Inner Petals Uxxx (Where x = R, O or Y of the above lily colors)
  • NW Inner Petals Uxyz
    • UORR = Cyan
    • UROO = Magenta
    • UROR = Yellow
  • South Outer Petals Gxxx (Where x = R, O or Y of the above lily colors)
  • North Outer Petals Gxyz
    • GORR = Cyan
    • GROR = Magenta
    • GRRO = Yellow

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 fertilazions or just 28 ferts to split.
