  In each seed this gene would segregate some wouldn’t express at all, some lower and if you did it more times more than likely the mutation would be lost

    Is that still the case with gene splicing vs natural mutation?

      If the trait or edit is homozygous and you self pollinate the plant the trait will not be segregated out. If it is heterozygous you will get a mix.

      When transforming plants you can get hetero or homozygous edits both. I am unsure the genotype of the firefly petunias though.

      So if the edit is homozygous it is known as a pure line.

  I think the concern is more about cross-pollination, not seeds from the plant directly
