No one will fall out of their chair in shock when I admit I don’t know a lot about genetics, specifically plant genetics. Nonetheless, I can’t shake the vague sense that the story yesterday about the possible revolution in our understanding of the laws of inheiritance could — if upheld — have far more dramatic repurcussions than anything we’ve been discussing lately. Obviously, I could be incandescantly wrong about this, but it just seems like a really big deal to me.
