Has anyone ever attempted to induce resorption in the plant world for purposes of mixing genes?
-- In "vanishing twin" syndrome in humans, also known as fetal resorption, one of the fetuses in a multi-gestational pregnancy dies and is partially or completely reabsorbed by its twin.
This is very common in humans - it's estimated that one out of eight of us who DO NOT have a twin STARTED OUT as a twin.
What I'm wondering is - could two seed embryos be removed and then re-housed some sort of synthesized seed coat? If reabsorption occurred in 1/8 of the embryos, as it does in human embryos - would the plant resulting from the reabsortion process be a genetic "cross" of the two embryos?
