Gurcharanji: question... when there is regional variation... even in the seed pods... as in this case apparently... is there enough Genetic variation that shows up in DNA or RNA fingerprinting? I dont know enough molecular biology of PLANTS to know the answer....
AND if the fingerprints differ by say 10% or 20% .. is it a new variant or a new species?
