<Actually, a better explination is chromosome loss and an even
<better explination is transposible elements!
I
am happy that at least for the first time alternatives are offered
It again shows that it is easy to apply the wrong thing Both
chromosome loss and especially transposible elements are very
rare phenomena, written about a lot because it is interesting, not
because it is common. Moreover I dont see how chromosome loss
or transposable elements are fitted in with your opinion that yellow
is supposed to be chloroplast encoded!!!?. It must be remembered
that yellow plants in hosta are always heterozygous for green and
nulear encoded so a simple mit rec gives a green edge
Ben, almost any good example of mitotic recombination in higher
plants IS news!
Maybe for you, not for a geneticist who reads the litterature
