I know that some Tets spontaneously revert back to Dips after conversion, but does anyone know if there is an inducible way to "convert-back" a multi-generation Tet offspring (bred to encourage fast and valued mutations in the Tet line) as a Dip?

For example, Edith Sliger is a sixth-generation Tet hybridized in 2000. In the intervening generations after its Tet progenitors were used, no tet-converted dips were recorded in its lineage. Is it possible there is a way that such a Tet, with its now very different genetic make-up from any of its unrecorded dip ancestors, be re-converted back to dip for use with other cultivars still available in dip form?
