Re: Discussion on Origin of Sports
Bob,
Hope you don't mind me answering your question. A REVERSION is a sport. While
genetisists may say that "sport" is not a genetic term, it is certainly a
scientific term better known as bud sport.. It is well defined in the book Plant
Propagation Principles and Practices which you just mentioned.to Narda at 105
dollars..
