A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Whether a plant species is hybridized has little effect on whether it grows true from seed or only via cuttings.
Wild maple trees for example do not grow true from seed.
Apples are a prime example.
I don't think you quite understand what a hybrid for annual crops is. Hybrids in trees are fundamentally different. Same word different meaning.
How do they reproduce?
Sexual reproduction via flowers+seeds.
When self-fertilizing, the offspring are not identical.
Oh OK, that makes sense - you're talking about clones right? I thought you were saying that they don't even come out the same species 🤣
