Hey Folks,
I was wondering if certain species have more dominant genes when hybridizing than others. For example, Exotica's "Predator" between N. truncata and N. hamata appears to have more N. hamata features than N. truncata. I've also noticed that the N. aristolochioides hybrids tend to have more N. aristo characteristics than the other species they're crossed with. So does this mean that N. hamata and N. aristolochioides tend to have the more dominant genes compared with other species? Also do the male plants add more characteristics to the hybrid or vice versa?
Thanks!
