Default Apomictic Grasses

Now you are just babbling.

Tsk! I see that velociraptors are not the only vicious sharp-toothed
sabre-clawed reptilian throwbacks who live and lurk in the tall grass. Do
all your students/professors cringe and cower in corners apon your

arrival?
I find myself warming to threshers, winnowers, back-burners, gleaners and
Round-up applicators.

Are you Phredo's mother?

I'm sure Phredo is a big boy and he can take care of himself and doesn't
need your coddling.

I suppose you have never seen or heard the heated arguments that grass
taxonomists at the Smithsonian sometimes get into. Taxonomy is not for

the
faint of heart or sissy cry babies.

So why don't you go back to your sterile plastic bubble and twiddle your
thumbs!!!

"Phredo, you broke my heart."

Surely this reply is too astringent and acerbic and not in keeping

with
the
respect due to fellow scientists.
Phred may be some nascent biologist whose botanical heart has just

been
crushed by your cruel put-downs.
Do you want that on your conscience?

I'm not a student, Buckwheat.

I just want you to put your money where you flip mouth is, you

superficial
smartass.

You still haven't answered the question, you ******.

I asked for a list of SPECIES in ten different genera not just

random
list
of generic names.

Any idiot can randomly throw out the names of genera and you have

proven
that.

Most if not all of the species in those genera ARE NOT APOMICTIC.

That makes you the lazy parasite who cannot back the outrageous

statements
you make.

Here's a few you can look up... but I'm stuffed if I'm going to do
*all* your homework for you, so look up the details for yourself

and
don't be a typical lazy student parasitising the web.

In no particular order: Brachiaria, Paspalum, Eragrostis, Poa,
Dichanthium, Tripsacum, Cenchrus, Pennisetum, Panicum,

Hyparrhenia,
Vetiveria, Themeda, Heteropogon, Bouteloua, Bothriochloa,
Capillipedium... (And I suppose we could even throw in Zea now.)


Cheers, Phred.
