corn genetics discussed a lot in the text

Hey guys, just one more thing that stresses the importance of plant genetics: Wolfe goes to great lengths to talk about the genetics of corn, how to cross it to get white and red and yellow kernels, how to keep it pure. It is very important in the text. Plant genetics is the answer. It really is. This time I'm right. I am. The corn genetics clue us in to think of other kinds of plant genetics. I'm going to bed. Have a good night. Marc Aramini

Maybe. On re-reading OBW, I thought the reason for going on about hybrid vigor is because it's thematically related to the Horn/Silk hybrid. -Rostrum

... at which it occurred to me that "Horn Silk" is one letter different from Corn Silk. A Wolfean pun? H'mmmm............
