I wish I had some idea of just what it is you are trying to say here.
It's all gibberish to me. The scientific literature is quite clear -
mitotic recombination is VERY rare and where it has been demonstrated
it was done under very unusual conditions using HIGH levels of
irradiation. If you have proved the mitotic recombination occures in
hostas, would you please tell us the experimental methods you employed
and the peer review scientific journal where you published your
results! Your "rule of thumb for sports in hostas" just doesn't do it
for me. I'm really beginning to wonder if you really even have any
idea just what mitotic recombination is. remember Ben that you are
not dealing with a single cell organism when you are dealing with
hostas.
