PELORIA: In Phalaenopsis Use of deformed clones in hybridizing to obtain unusual petal markings or forms; refer to A83-722; F84-180; in cattleyas, refer to F84-235 0
PELORIA: Its Occurrence It can result as an upset in the developmental process, but also it is genetically determined; some forms are seemingly set- are regularly produced and constant in expression; probably ultimately it is related to environment. SA86June-63 0
PELORIA: Mutations in Flowers Lip-like characteristics in the petals are considered an abnormal regularity in normally irregular flowers, as in splash-petal cattleyas; causes are uncertain; may lead to advancement in breeding but mutation rates are only one to ten million; induced mutation is worth trying in orchids.
