Yup, hermaphrodism makes perfect sense from a natural selection point of view. Just wondering why you think it resides in the RNA rather than DNA? It seems that plants that have high incidence of hermie have offspring that have similar lack of tolerance. Like thai plants so I would figure it'd be contained in the DNA. I actually thought it was probably more of a trait that was controlled by several genes rather than just one.

Dunno if that broadleaf question was for me, but if it was then no. I work as a technician in a neurovirology lab, mostly doing molecular and cell biology stuff.

Yes yes, I'm a rambler lol. Glad folks found it informative, I did as well.

Peace
