Re:Cloning
Hello,
It is the same lottery with a cloned plant as with a seed. And there is
nothing simpler than cloning plants.
There would be no seedless oranges today, if someone had not stumbled onto
a citrus tree that gave fruit with no seed, and the porpagated it (cloned
it) quite a while back.
Cloning plants is as simple, if not simpler, than plantings seeds.
The lottery is the same, the techniques are just different. If I had a AG
that was disease, insect and wilt resistant, that porduced 2,000 pound
pumpkins I would clone the heck out of it!
Regards,
Tom
