TULIP GENOME. “The genetic complexity is high not only in tulips but also in maize, and other cultured plants such as rice or wheat. The accumulation of genes may result from breeding. In tulips the genome is almost tripled, three similar chromosomes accumulated, but did not quite stay identical but evolved separately to some extent. The plants can easily lose up to one third or even half of their genes, without much noticeable differences.”
