Does anyone on this list happen to be in the field of orchid epigenetics?
There's a new book out by Blackwell on "PLANT EPIGENETICS," by Peter Meyer . It seems to me that this sort of research would wreak havoc with our judging systems.
"Epigenetic modifications are stable but potentially reversible alterations in gene _expression that occur without permanent changes in DNA sequence. Recent years have seen a dramatic increase of research activity in this area. This is the first volume to provide an overview of our current knowledge of epigenetic mechanisms in plants. It is directed at researchers and professionals working in plant molecular genetics, developmental biology and biochemistry, and will provide a point of entry to the detailed literature."
