I use the term S1 because I want to keep track of the selfed generations....Sam Skunkman
after a few selfings the plant may become very homogenous, but have serious problems due to being inbred....Sam Skunkman
An S1 is not the same as an F1, or an S5 not the same as an F5, not if you are selfing for 4-5 generations....Sam Skunkman
Charles do you ever self plants? How do you keep track of the different generations of selfing?....Sam Skunkman
If you do not self plants I can understand your opinion....Sam Skunkman
Absolutely correct; I concur wholeheartedly.we are not all Scientists here.....We don not all Converse Scientifically and Sam knows this and so should you....Most of us Use the term S1....ograskal
Anyway enough about S1, I will continue to use it to describe selfed plants, if it was good enough for Euphytica and Genetics, it is good enough for me. I do consider your post about it your opinion, and my use mine. That is fine with me.... Sam Skunkman
