Technically the leaf is the pitcher, while the 'leaf' we see is really an expanded petiole.[b said:Quote[/b] (NepenthesMaster @ Jan. 04 2005,1:06)]I would pick Nepenthes, i want to know that makes them have such incredible growth habits, leaves and pitchers as totally separate parts, unlike say, a sundew. I also want to know what makes some of them so friggin' huge.
whats your favorite SE cp?[b said:Quote[/b] (0zzy @ Jan. 04 2005,4:24)]I wouldn't pick one single plant type. I would study cp's that grow in the SE US. They are what intrest me the most.
Thats what i was thinking also, since its so prone to mutations.[b said:Quote[/b] (peter @ Jan. 04 2005,2:43)]I would pick Dionaea by far!

lol this project isnt so secret. i have to chose any species of multi-cellular organism.[b said:Quote[/b] (StifflerMichael @ Jan. 05 2005,11:10)]There are millions of different things you could do with a genome sequence (why do you think the human genome project was undertaken?!). For example you could study comparative evolution, identify novel proteins or genes, etc. Maybe we could refine this question to: what genome would you study and WHAT would you study? Myself: I would like to study several CP genomes, with the hope of maybe finding some novel gene clusters which synthesize small molecules. This could perhaps lead to new theraputic drugs: as many drugs come from plant sources, and CPs are novel plants, perhaps novel drugs are hiding in there genomes waiting to be revealed. Hmm, I work here in biochemistry lab at Harvard, they got lots of money and equipment, maybe I could undertake a 'secret' side project...hmmmm

Yes any multicellular organism, as long as i can "byod" (bring your own DNA)[b said:Quote[/b] (StifflerMichael @ Jan. 05 2005,11:08)][b said:Quote[/b] ]lol this project isnt so secret. i have to chose any species of multi-cellular organism.
What do you mean? Choose any multi-cellular organism?
