Is this a mutation, FMV, or what?

I would propagate that branch just incase it is piebaldism

George,   It looks like a mutation.  It can be very small mutation and unstable - almost impossible to propagate. 

If you follow this link, then choose Chimera (plant) from the list under the Science heading, there is a similar picture to yours.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimera_(plant) 

Even if it is a chimera it would have the gene and the mother plant would be a hetro zygote for this defect/piebaldism so a few generations of select cutting should produce this color morph?
I am only speaking from my experience with reptile breeding I know cloning is different but couldn't it work? Unfortunately this showed up too late in the season to airlayer.

Some types of chimeras can be propagated, but probably not this type. 

"Mericlinal chimeras are produced when the derivatives of the mutated cell do not entirely cover the apical dome. A mutated cell layer may be maintained on only one portion of the meristem giving rise to chimeral shoots or leaves which develop in that portion while those that differentiate on all other portions of the meristem are normal, nonchimeral shoots. Many mericlinal chimeras involve such a limited number of cells that only a small portion of one leaf may be affected. As was the case with periclinal chimeras, mericlinal chimeras are generally restricted to one cell layer."

George,

Ken had given me a nice sized Tena fig with the two main branches sticking straight up.
It traveled with me for several thousand miles on this last trip and I noticed the leaves drying out as they rub against each other from the vibration and bouncing around.
I noticed spots on the leaves from the rubbing as otherwise I would not be able to explain any other time on the figs at home.

Just my guess, I am willing to bet that these two leaves are looking like this by rubbing against each other from the wind. Just can't explain the color.
This could just be a fluke.

I tagged this one particular branch tip and I'll be watching it.

"I do not recall 'spilling' anything on the tree.", wrote Gorgi.
But it is still possible that somehow some chemical liquid drop(s) fell on the top of the left side leaf and flowed down and dripped on the leaf to the right underneath it and caused bleaching over time. The lower leaf at 5 O'Clock with no bleaching grew later. Just a guess.

I tend to rule out wind or bleach b/c the 2 mutated leaf portions are 'fleshy' (not dry).

What ever happened to this Gorgi? 

Sadly that one particular tip (Trojano) did not root for me.

I still have the older wood below it 'tagged'.

One of these day I'll hunt it down.

Most likely it will only have just regular leaves...

--------

On some better news; my other GM#141_Var single twig did root.

It had an unripe variegated fig on it, other fruit on the same tree was regular.

Here are 2 pics for comparison with figs from the same mother tree..

Wow do I have that one?  Looks great 

141_V was a single twig (so nobody else has it).

I did bring a (regular) 141 starter at Bass meet for the raffle.

I think Jason won it (Jason take note) ....

Ok well I hope it does stay viragated like that. But the other plants have potential to mutate too then right? 

I would guess not.

I will feel very lucky if the variegated one, just stays so.

I did pick 141 in the raffle. It was up potted and is currently in the temporary greenhouse. The fruit looks delicious.
