Reverse striped?

I have seen corn marketed here in the UK as reverse stripes and they are from what I've seen indeed striped variety of motley's.
Not sure you could say F1's were het for.

Right, they are most probably het motley and can produce al types of motley patterns...

Barbara's right, het motley... because these motleys have a full stripe doesn't mean they have any stripe gene in them but rather a selectively bred motley.....
 
IMO, a motley is a motley, no matter if it's a hurricane motley, a Q-tipped motley or a striped motley. Even a motley het stripe will be patterned like a motley. (Which is why I now label ALL of my motleys as simply "motley", no matter WHAT their particular pattern is). IMO, the term "reverse stripe" is confusing as well as mis-leading.

That is a very nice butter motley, but aside from having a very smooth striped motley pattern (and a nice full belly), I don't see anything special about it's coloration that I couldn't find on most butter motleys, no matter the pattern. Now if you could show me some examples of "reverse stripe" normals, amels and anerys, I'll definitely rethink my opinion.

And please, do not take offense at my opinions. I just don't see why there has to be so many confusing names for the same dang thing. :shrugs:

Then they are homo motley, not het.

i meant the F1 that was mentioned..... F1 from reverse striped motleys is most probably het motley.... cause a snke with a striped and a motley gene on the motley locus, would most probably look like a 'classic' motley since mot is dominant over striped. Breeding trials gave loads of classic looking motley's from striped x motley if I remember right. So motley's with a (reverse) striped look are more likely to be homo motley, in my logic, hence produce het motley F1.

I don't necessarily want to use pattern names or see why it is necessary, but people use them so knowing what they most probably mean and what the genotype then would be, sometimes is necessary.
 
just another example. Pastel (striped reverse or just plain motley))

From this animal I posted pics before.
Her parents are a green blotched snow het. motley and a related snow motley male.

I have seen animals with such narrow stripes labeled as reverse striped on expo's for a couple of years.
I cannot speak for all similar looking animals but this lady has only motley genes and there is no striped gene involved.
About three years ago I bred her into a butter male and kept 2.4 of the offspring. Last year I bred the offspring together and no striped animals where born, only motley's and not even partial striped animals.
Also breeding her own offspring back to her has not produced any animals with the same pattern.

If there is anyone sceptic about giving corn morphs a fantasy name it would be me,
but since this animals genetics as well as her pattern is different from the other stripeds I think it deserves to be called different.
