Re: Re: Chromosome Count


El,

I find it is generally worth trying just about any cross that seems interesting.  Mother nature doesn't have her rules set in stone!  There are always exceptions, such as we have recently seen between pseudacorus and ensata. The clone Gubejin is aneuploid (not having the typical chromosome count for the species), which has allowed it to be much more fertile with ensata than expected.  Also, weather and hour can play a big role in fertility.  I suspect even solar weather has an effect on gametes anomolies.

and just when I was finding the 'sorted soxs' analogy so cool.

Thanks Tom and Sean, and everyone else too!
 
It is starting to make sense.  I just didn't want to try crossing something that just should never be crossed, and wonder what the heck went wrong.
 
Oh, and Tom - now that I'm retired, I only buy the same boring white gym socks, so no more sorting.  Smile emoticon
