The exact mechanisms involved in off-types are still not totally understood, but what we do is that it is often the result of sloppy TC work, when a lab does not do it's due diligence to reinitiate new lines from field verified true-to-type stock. Some cultivars seem more prone to generating off-types than others, but with AgriStarts it seems to be widespread enough that it's almost certainly due to their practices, and not inherent to specific varieties.
interesting, thank you for your answer.

so I guess armed with that, that there is no chance that her pups will never be true to type.

so if I were a large scale farmer what would I do with here pups?
