Eight and 16 week old plants were classified as “yellow/bicolor” if yellow sec<strong>to</strong>rs<br />

appeared on all or some of the following plant parts: immature ovaries, leaves, stems,<br />

peduncles and/or staminate flowers. Plants <strong>with</strong> yellow sec<strong>to</strong>rs on vegetative parts always<br />

had yellow (or bicolor) ovaries.<br />

Not all plants set fruit in the populations tested in Puer<strong>to</strong> Rico.<br />
