I am glad someone finally is taking this seriously! The only problem wiht
cuttings is that it wouldn't be a true full clone, since it would just be a
vine of the actualy plant, even though it can survive independanlty. A full
cloning of the embryo would be the ideal way to run some REAL experiments.
Like I said, in one season we could learn more about the AG genetics than we
could in 10-20 years any other way.
