Palmetto demand?

I'm pretty sure it's pretty impossible to make genetically, but I could potentially see palmetto's being used to vary the pied lines more since palmetto is basically an extreme pied. Wouldn't it be awesome to get to a pattern similar to the pieds in ball pythons? Where there are sections of pattern and sections of white. Since current pieds in corns seem to be mostly .. diffused or missing side patterns.

Palmettos are produced through simply recessive inheritance and are more akin to a Leucistic form than P/S. A P/S Palmetto would most likely look the same as any non-P/S Blood. The Pied BP gene is very different from the P/S corn one and more similar to the genetic inheritance of the Pinto coloration in horses. We have yet to stumble across a genetic means to have corns that are similar to Pied BPs. I can't wait until we do though because it is my favorite of the BP morphs.

That's what I kind of figured. A lot of the genetics stuff still goes over my head, so I will admit that up front. But man.. if there was a way to get that kind of gene in a corn... I absolutely ADORE pied BPs. But I fell in love with a corn first :D
