[Arisaema-l] What Happened To My Seedlings

[James SHIELDS]

There is an even bigger problem: What is a tuber, and are all tubers
created equal? I am afraid those questions can only be answered by some
studies of gene expression during development and differentiation ("evo
devo" types of research). I would hazard a guess that there are many
different sorts of tubers in the plant world.

We who have English as our first language also tend to be linguistically
challenged, so it is truly fortunate for us that the rest of the world has
been so obliging as to learn some English. Our thanks!
