About
Citron is an incomplete dominant mutation.
History
It was orginally bred to enchis with another gene called burst and was referred to as citron burst. I have since separated out the citron gene completely and believe burst may be polygenic and not a dom gene since its appearance seems to be random and not consistently replicated. But I will leave that up to other people to try to discover more about burst. - Justin Smith
