Thanks!
My thoughts? Well, I'm really just accumulating data trying to figure out how this look ins inherited. I can think of three possible ways that can't be ruled out YET. I've got suspicions, but I'm holding on to them for a little bit longer.
If your motley is het striped, I'm not to surprised. If it is NOT het striped, then I'm a little surprised and I might have to add a fourth possibility.....lol.
Thanks for posting.

I haven't heard back from the breeder yet but i'd be 99.9% sure it wasn't het stripe because i would have been asked to pay an awful lot more for it at the time if it was.(2 1/2 years ago even het stripes were big money here)...
The results have surprised me, i would have expected those odds if i was breeding a sibling back to mum & not to a totally unrelated motley so it's got me thinking of co-dom.

Well, it can't be codominant because I didn't produce "supers" by breeding sunspots together. Besides, codominant with WHAT? It might be allelic to stripe, but people have been claiming it was not dominant to motley - which is why I wondered if your motley was het stripe. Maybe it is and nobody knows it. Too bad you can't check that motley by breeding her to a striped.
I'll breed one of my cubeds to a motley (not het striped) next year, I think, to double check your results. I will also cross one to another novel striped corn, and likely a normal without the striped or motley allele. ....just to see....
I'll add that to what I did this year, and try to come up with an hypothesis to test. Luck me, eh? Right now, it still be a couple of things.....and may be nothing more than a modifier gene.
