Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the phenomenon of "mutative reversions" in cotton, when sudden variations result in the return of ancestral characteristics to the forefront. Drawing from experiments conducted with variations of Egyptian cotton, the author reveals that reversions can dramatically alter a plant's appearance, challenging the traditional view of such variations as rare or exceptional. The author highlights the prevalence of reversions in cotton, suggesting they are a key factor in the deterioration of varieties over time. The author delves into the relationship between reversions and the coherence of characters, exploring the tendency for traits inherited from the same ancestor to be expressed together. This book provides valuable insights into the complexities of heredity, offering a deeper understanding of how ancestral diversities continue to shape the evolution of cultivated plants.
