Until recently, I had the information that spontaneous mutation in the banana plants occurred only in the wild and very rarely. Now, I have new information that mutation occurs in banana plantations and inside the green houses more often than we expected. I still think clone variation or mutation in the banana plants occur more frequently. And if we give it a little push it will happen more often.
If my banana plant survive this winter will you allow me to call it a mutant?
Thank you for sharing your point of view.
I will continue my experiment until I grow tired of it. I hope I will get somewhere though. I've been trying for so long.
